Reimagine has been hosting candlelight vigils since March 2020, the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to break down taboos and hold space for all that we've lost. This gathering features Sarah LaBrie, author of No One Gets to Fall Apart: A Memoir, a 2024 New York Times Notable Book and Editors’ Pick and a best book of the year according to NPR, Elle and Esquire. Our other featured guest is Jane Rigler: flutist, composer, facilitator, and Reimagine community collaborator.
Sarah LaBrie was born in the Bay Area and raised in Third Ward in Houston. Her memoir takes on her mother's diagnosis with late-onset schizophrenia, patterns of mental illness along her maternal line and her own attempts to navigate anxiety, depression and all-consuming ambition while pursuing a creative career.
Sarah lives in Los Angeles where she works as a TV writer. She was most recently a producer on the HBO and Starz television show, Minx. She also wrote on Blindspotting (Starz), Made for Love (MAX), and Love, Victor (Hulu/Disney). Her libretti have been performed at Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Apollo Theater. Her work appears in The Guardian, Electric Literature’s Recommended Reading, Guernica, The Los Angeles Review of Books and elsewhere. Sarah was nominated for Best Television Comedy Script at the 2024 Women's Image Network Awards for her episode of Blindspotting, "By Hook or By Crook."

Jane Rigler is a musician and facilitator who explores experimental performance practice, creative compositional notation procedures, and multisensorial listening methods. She received her flute performance foundation at Northwestern University and developed her work in experimental music at UCSD. Her compositions, which explore movement, languages, and ancestral songs are performed world-wide at conventions, concert halls and festivals. As a certified Deep Listening® facilitator (by the Center for Deep Listening at RPI, Troy, NY), she offers inclusive listening experiences throughout the world and her compositions are influenced by these multi-sensorial practices. While an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado (UCCS) 2010-2024, she taught flute, composition, listening practices, computer music, sound art, and improvisation. Currently, she is collaborating with neuroscientists and therapists to develop restorative and nervous system regulation techniques in all her work with sound, composing, coaching, and facilitation practices.
