The Garden Presents Silver Night

Matthew Vire • October 6, 2024

A dance formal for neurodivergent teens

We are excited to announce that The Garden will be hosting a special formal dance for neurodiverse teens on Friday, November 22nd. We understand that teenagers with autism or other neurological differences may sometimes feel excluded from traditional events like prom or homecoming. Our aim is to create a welcoming and inclusive space for all. We are looking for volunteers to assist with various tasks such as set-up, clean-up, supervision, promotion, refreshments, and decorations. Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of these teens.


Where: The Great Room at Union Chapel Indy

When: 6:30-9:00 p.m., Friday, Nov. 22, 2024

Cost: Donations appreciated. Free for all.

Attire: "formal"... whatever that means to you. We invite teens to dress in what makes them feel good and special.

Questions: Use the form to submit your questions.

Life’s storms—both external and internal—test our resilience, but they also offer an opportunity for transformation. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, this reflection explores how brokenness can lead to renewal, strength, and deeper purpose. Discover strategies for navigating challenges with mindfulness, self-care, and faith, and trust that in every fracture, light finds its way in.
