Friends gathered March 17 to hear updates on the case of Pervis Payne who is on Tennessee's death row and to ponder criminal justice and restorative justice. Here are some takeaways from the evening's film clips and conversations:

Walker, Joanne's assistant for First Day School on November 15, reports: "We began by talking about how air affects us and the environment. We shared stories about breathing or the lack thereof. We also explored air more scientifically, talking about what elements were in the air. This led to a tangent about what atoms are. We got back to air by talking about how breathing helps us relax and talked briefly about yoga and experiences with yoga. Then Joanne performed a demonstration where she crushed aluminum cans using air pressure, which was a hit for all.
