Peaceable Kingdom hosted by Mindful Metropolis

Thursday, June 24th, Mindful Metropolis will host another community event, screening the film Peaceable Kingdom: the Journey Home at The Irish American Heritage Center beginning at 5:30pm.

Through Peaceable Kingdom, Producer James LaVeck explores the awakening conscience of several people who grew up in traditional farming culture and who have now come to question the basic premises of their inherited way of life.

Doors will open at 5:30pm with tickets available on site for $20.00 cash. Light fare will be available from Tsadakeeyah's Catering Gourmet Vegan Food and The Chicago Diner. There is a cash bar.

Mr. LaVeck will be available for Q & A after the film. This is an opportunity to learn about our farming heritage and better understand what happens on the farm.
