Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We will offer 40+ public sessions from April to August, serving 800+ participants and tens of thousands of witnessing audiences. We will expand our Cohort from nine to twenty members, and create several large-scale events. We facilitate post-experience feedback at each of our public sessions. We also use surveys after each major event, and we have a 20-question survey distributed widely to participants at the end of the season.

Measurable Outcome(s)

During the programming period, Grace Minnesota produced 79 free public practices and 3 large-scale events in 30 locations for over 850 participants. By our estimation (and from our surveys), 125 of these participants were new to the practice. Our artist-healer-activist cohort was expanded from 9 members to 27 members.
