Bring your instrument, your voice, or just your body. No matter your flavor of involvement, by the end of this session, you'll know without a doubt that everyone has some kind of music inside of them. Whether you like to just tap your toes, dance, sing or play an instrument, this is an experience in sharing and creation. Guided by formally trained music and movement educator, composer and theorist Joy Ellsworth, this gathering will share examples of our favorite genres and our favorite ways of enjoying those genres. Then we'll find fun features of everyone's music faves and attempt to put our own unique sounds together. Time spent in this circle promises to be a special expression of individual and group identity, from silly to serious, and sure to be a journey in sound and dance that you'll never forget.

Connect with yourself and the world in ways only a forest can inspire. Forest therapy sessions begin with an orientation about the land where you are gathered and some safety factors that are good to know while meandering around a forested hillside. From sturdy ground, guests then establish a sensory focus on the place where they are. The guided explorations that come next typically bring peace and direction to the people experiencing forest therapy. An ending ceremonial tea sourced from the land completes the experience and sends guests into the world with new, personalized guiding perspective delivered by the forest.

We have designed an unique 2-day experience to guide each student through creating an epoxy resin river table. On the first day, you will start with selecting and preparing the wood for your table.

This includes specific color themes, sparkles and glow in the dark! Once you have made your color selections and mixed the resin, let your imagination free as you pour your resin river. Plan on spending 2-3 hours each day. The second day, we will help show you how to clean your tabletop and prepare it for the flood coat of epoxy resin.
