SUMMARY:Groove Lab - Dancing Through the Chaos
DESCRIPTION:These times call for dance. Dancing through the chaos. \nThere has been a call in our community to come together and dance. This is for us\, all together\, to create what we want. To gather in community as we envision. \nSend in your song requests to add to our playlist. Plus we will have some live drumming too! Kat will share just a few prompts to help us all to drop in and dance it out. And before we leave\, there will be time to rest–on the ground if you’d like–while gentle percussion sounds fill the air. Maybe\, just maybe\, you will feel this all land in your body like a nourishment. \nOnly together can we create the kind of gatherings that bring strength\, healing and connection to our communities. Let’s do this! \nRegister through Maggie at learn2relax@yahoo.com or Kat at kathleensuwalski@gmail.com so that we know you are attending and know how many people to expect (or so that we can let you know if anything changes).\nInvestment: $25 if pre-registered and $35 at the door. If cost is prohibitive\, please reach out. \nBring your friends\, neighbors and family too. Spread the word!

SUMMARY:A Course in Miracles
DESCRIPTION:A Course in Miracles was channeled by Jesus in the 60’s to a Columbia University medical school faculty member\, perhaps to help us remember the message he came to teach when he walked on this earth. \nEach week we begin our exploration by reading the short introduction which includes these words “the course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim however at removing the blocks to the awareness of Love’s presence which is your natural inheritance.” \nHas any other subject been written or sung about more often than love? Isn’t it the organizing principle of all religions? So popular and prominent in our daily discourse\, yet so elusive. And don’t we yearn for an alternative to fear\, guilt and hatred\, suspicion and divisiveness? \nWhether a beginner\, a student of many years\, or an on-again/off again inquirer\, you are invited to join us in seeking to learn how to love and enjoy being in love. It’s not a solo performance. Only together\, is love manifest. \nWe meet by ZOOM\, every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. \nZOOM LINK: https://commonstreet.zoom.us/j/92894618915?pwd=brWWjSasbqK5tCarEqlP4NUnpA5F3T.1

SUMMARY:Dedtalk
DESCRIPTION:DEDTALK is a community event where we gather and talk about all things death\, loss\, and mortality. At a typical DEDTALK event\, we have a group conversation followed by a mediumship reading. However\, once a year\, around The Day of the Dead\, we skip the group conversation and reading and allow folks to take the stage and express their personal relationship with death via their art of choice- dance\, music\, poetry\, storytelling\, etc. We will also have an ofrenda\, or ancestor altar\, which we encourage guests to bring photos and items for so we can honor those who have passed. \nWe believe that the more we talk about death\, the less taboo it becomes. It allows us to connect deeper as a community\, reduce fears\, and realize what is most important in life. Death is a natural part of life and is nothing to be feared.
