The City of Carbondale warmly invites community members to attend the next “At the Table” Dinner & Dialogue
event on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at the Carbondale Civic Center.
This month’s event will celebrate the impactful work of community ambassadors from the Dancing in the Well:
Art for Healing Trauma Retreat, held in November. The four-day retreat focused on raising awareness about the
effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) and taught participants how trauma-informed art practices can
promote healing and resilience.
The event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5:30 PM. The Dinner, Dialogue and Art will begin at
6:00 PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about trauma-informed art practices firsthand through
demonstrations and discussions led by ACE Awareness Ambassadors, all while enjoying a community meal.
Seating is limited, and registration is encouraged. To register, please click here. For additional information,
