    • Covid. A Threshold experience. Let’s examine how covid changed our lives and the world around us. This will be a conversation about beginning to put this time in our personal and global lives in perspective. Sabbatical? Quarantine? Creative resurgence? How will we catalog this period in our lives? Using archetypal themes and cycles of history we will reflect on the power of this life passage. Bring your ideas. The stories of your experience and your imagination. We will hold beginners' mind… a Once Upon Time… point of view. A little bit sociology, a little bit mythology and a little bit rock n roll.

  • Drumming for Fun . . . in a Circle

  • This class is in session. Contact the office for more information.

    • Hands moving, feet tapping, smiling & laughing. Why Drum Circles? Every time you’re drumming, your brain is working out. Think of it as a gym session, but instead of lifting weights, you're flexing your cognitive muscles. Did you know ~ drumming is activating various areas of your brain, leading to “brain plasticity.” In simple terms? Your brain’s structure and functions are ever evolving, and drumming circles can play a key role in this! Participants don't need musical experience and can begin at a level that works for them. All percussion instruments provided. It's fun, social, creative, non-judgmental, promotes smiling, laughter, and it's good for you!
