About the Project
Rooted in faith and open to all, Wings of Light offers a gentle space for families, friends, and members of our community to remember and honor babies lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, or during infancy. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, you are invited to come as you are.
Through music, poetry, visual art, and quiet reflection, we will create space to remember, grieve, find hope, and honor the lasting bond between parents and their babies.
Transformance Art’s Meraki Projects use the arts to create space for healing, compassion, and meaningful conversation when words alone may not be enough. Whether you have personally experienced pregnancy or infant loss, are supporting someone who has, or simply wish to stand alongside families in our community, you are warmly invited to attend.
Share a Poem
Poetry written by those who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss will be part of the evening. We invite you to submit an original poem of your own.
Submission deadline: October 1, 2026
