Landfill Harmonic follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan musical group that plays instruments made entirely out of garbage pieces found in the landfill where their community is settled.

When their story goes viral, the orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight. Under the guidance of idealistic music director Favio Chavez, the orchestra must navigate a strange new world of arenas and sold-out concerts.

However, when a natural disaster strikes their community, Favio must find a way to keep the orchestra intact and provide a source of hope for their town. The film is a testimony to the transformative power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.

In Central Florida, a collective impact movement led by the Peace and Justice Institute is underway to create a more resilient, trauma informed, community.

In 2019, local leaders asked PJI to convene a conference that would educate the community about the human and societal impacts of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), trauma, and toxic stress. Since then, there has been enormous interest in keeping the momentum going around this work in Central Florida. Bimonthly meetings have been held since 2019 and we have grown into a network of 600+ individuals from 300+ organizations in all sectors of Central Florida.

The group, now called the Resilience Network, has defined ourselves as “a network collaborating across sectors and communities to transform our region into one of prevention, hope, healing, and resilience for all.”

All are welcome to join the network. Register to attend the next meeting: https://RNMAY27.eventbrite.com

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful tools we have for transforming conflict and pain. Whether you are an individual, a group, or a country, it is also one of the most challenging acts to practice. This workshop will explore the question forgiveness invites, the demands it places on us, and the potential it has for healing.

Join us Thursday, July 9, 2026 from 6:30-8:00 p.m. in Winter Park, Florida. Register: https://JulyForgiveness.eventbrite.com
