Brattleboro Area Hospice

Center for Solace provides free support services for serious illness, hospice, and grief, fostering community conversations about mortality and life while creating spaces for reflection and joy.

Center for Solace (formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice) invites the community to Dance for Solace, its seasonal early evening dance party fundraiser, with a totally tubular throwback twist: an 80s-themed dance party. Join us on Thursday, September 10, from 6:00&ndash;8:00 pm at Saxtons Distillery (155 Chickering Drive, Brattleboro) and dance your way into fall. Fall back to the &lsquo;80s. Move your body. Be home by 9. As we dance our way into fall, our September event features donuts for purchase by this month&rsquo;s sponsor,<a fr-original-style="" href="https://themermaidcollective.org/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">&nbsp;the Mermaid Collective</a>. Dance &lsquo;n Donuts! Add in a cash bar and what could be better? This autumn edition brings the vibrant energy of the 1980s straight to Brattleboro. DJ Mālama returns to the decks to spin a righteous, high-energy set spanning synth-pop, new wave, classic rock, and all manner of lively, feel-good throwback tracks guaranteed to keep the floor moving and the spirits soaring. Attendees can shake off whatever is weighing on them in a joyful, welcoming space. The dance floor is open to everyone and intentionally centers women, queer, trans, and nonbinary community members&mdash;because everyone deserves a safe place to exhale, move, and feel strong. For those who want to dress the part, Center for Solace&#39;s beloved thrift store, <a fr-original-style="" href="http://www.expgoods.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Experienced Goods</a>, will feature a special rack of 80s threads. It is the perfect excuse to find neon gear, leg warmers, or acid-wash denim before the party kicks off. Admission is $15&ndash;$40, with all proceeds benefiting Center for Solace&rsquo;s many free programs. A cash bar and donuts from Mermaid Collective will be available for purchase.&nbsp; The mission of Center for Solace is to offer services and support &mdash; free of charge &mdash; for serious illness, hospice, and grief, while engaging our community in conversations about mortality and life. In every season, the organization believes in creating spaces for both reflection and joy.For more information visit<a fr-original-style="" href="http://centerforsolace.org" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">&nbsp;</a><a fr-original-style="" href="http://centerforsolace.org" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">CenterforSolace.org</a>.

Dance for Solace: 80's Dance Party Fundraiser

Join us for a stunning, high-energy musical experience that bridges history and harmony&mdash;all in support of Center for Solace&nbsp;(formerly Brattleboro Area Hospice)! Led by dynamic vocalist Suzanne Buell, The Gospel Connection delivers a powerful journey through spirituals and gospel classics, and the deeply moving music that defined the Civil Rights movement. Far more than a traditional concert, the 6-piece band masterfully explores the musical lineage connecting historic gospel roots to contemporary pop, soul, and Americana artists. You will be moved to move, sing, and celebrate along to vibrant arrangements of songs popularized by icons like Mavis Staples, Aretha Franklin, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Levon Helm, Paul Simon, and more. &nbsp;From quiet, reflective spirituals to soaring, soul-stirring anthems, it&rsquo;s an unforgettable celebration of collective joy. This show will move your feet and lift your spirit!
