On the seventh day, only the owl and the panther were still awake.
Because they did not succumb to sleep, they were given the power to see in the dark.

Owl and Panther is a unique group designed to help those affected by trauma through creative writing and counseling. Owl and Panther especially seeks to treat trauma associated with torture, dislocation, refugee status, or family problems. Through creative writing, counseling, and community service participants of diverse ages, backgrounds, and ethnicity build confidence and enhance their communication and leadership skills.
As Owl and Panther participants meet people from other cultures they:
- Learn about history and geography
- Strengthen their communication skills
As they write and perform their poetry they:
- Find strength to care for other victims of war and disasters
- Develop leadership skills
As a result, they become confident and compassionate. But most importantly, they discover they are not alone.
