COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Consider this energy 101 that surpasses the mind, paper, notes, or canvas. In meditation, you will find a new way look at creative energy. With some meditative techniques, learn to release pastime energy, build up from being busy, and let go of what may stand in the way of your ‘art.’ Work within your inner space and let it flow. This workshop will walk you through some tools to empower your creativity. This is being done in support of all artists.

Podcasting has become one of the most exciting ways to share stories, ideas, and conversations with the world—but getting started can feel overwhelming. This interactive, beginner-friendly workshop will walk you through every step of the process, from shaping your concept to getting your first episodes online.

The shop will be decked out for the holidays. We will be sharing jewelry from one of our favorite local designers and we will be celebrating 12 years of Stumble & Relish!

Every instrument produces a unique set of frequencies. In a sound meditation these powerful frequencies support participants in anchoring into a meditative state. This process is commonly known as entrainment, in which the frequencies of the brain synchronize to the frequencies produced by the instruments. When this naturally occurring

phenomenon is paired with an intention of letting go and fully relaxing, the results can be astounding. No previous experience is needed in meditation to receive the benefits of this offering.
