Our Brother Legion (OBL) is a non-profit faith community based organization which seeks to liaise with the mental health, trauma, and addictive communities in educational, empowering, and creative modalities. OBL is launching a new program entitled “7001,”the title of which is based on I Kings 19:18 from God’s confrontation on the mountain assuring Elijah that he was not alone. 7001 is an artistic mosaic. It collects sacred, soothing, and secular performances of music, healing writings, real talk podcasts featuring people who have experienced depression and severe demoralization, as well as photographs and original art work. We want to emphasize that work that brings comfort does not have to boring or repetitive. We avoid faces and we strive our best to avoid anything jarring or potentially that triggers. Therefore creativity, fluidity, and reciprocity will all be important to this process. Do you know someone who spent quality time on their couch in a depression? Ask what soothed and eventually moved them. OBL needs musicians, artists, photographers, and people with beautiful voices. We need sound coordinators and spaces to record. Since regional music is so central to NC, we will certainly make every effort to collect the musical offering of folks around the state. Have questions? Visit our website, ourbrotherlegion.org, for more details or send an email to Rev. Beth Cantrell at coolrevchick@gmail.com. Depression is mutable; let’s do our part to facilitate that change!
