“Djembe” means coming together and going together. It’s an instrument that brings together our hearts when we all play together.

We are grateful to have traditional Djembe player, Abdoul Doumbia of Mali coming to teach us about the traditional rhythms and history of the Djembe. These classes are for all levels of players, there is an abundance of knowledge being shared and regardless of your experience, this is a special and rare opportunity to learn from a master.

*We will have some drums for use, but if you have a djembe we recommend bringing it. Thank you!

Gemini Season Full Moon in Sagittarius invites us to take a look ahead to what we are imagining for our futures. Sagittarius is represented by the Archer, with it in the position of the moon which rules our intuition, our emotions, our dreams, we are given the opportunity to direct our focus to higher truths about ourselves. The archer is half horse half man, the horse representing our animal, instinctual nature, the man representing our intellectual nature with its arrow pointing high into the sky. Since we are in the season of Gemini, which rules our intellectual nature and our desire for more information. As we collect more information about ourselves during this time, this Sagittarius moon helps us to assimilate that information and turn it into knowledge and wisdom to give direction to our lives.

Join us for this moment of self-care through conscious connection to the astrological moment, a sound bath, warm tea and more.

Bring a pen, paper, and if you feel called, something to charge under this new moon energy.

“Music has been shown to activate some of the broadest and most diverse networks of the brain.” —Harvard Health

Music-making develops creativity, imagination, focus and coordination. Learning an instrument and practicing music enhances these capacities. Music provides a means of nonverbal communication, providing an outlet for connecting with and expressing emotion. As a safe and healthy activity, it helps deemphasize obsessive thinking and compulsive behavior. Shared music-making and dance can promote meaningful relationships and connections within and across social groups, leading to an improved quality of life, shared values and sense of belonging.

Ages 13+ Years

Guitar is one of the most popular, fun and accessible instruments in the world. This class is for beginner to intermediate players age 13+.

Our friends at Didge Project are offering the opportunity to learn more about how to play the didgeridoo and increase your skills.

In the 1-on-1 session, you will be working with a human instructor, in real time, who will give you important feedback on your playing. That instructor will custom tailor a series of exercises for you to practice, to jumpstart your playing and get you making progress. The live group Zoom class with AJ Block is an opportunity for you to go through fundamental methodology on didgeridoo playing and ask questions, while at the same time witnessing the process of other participants in a community setting. Often one participant will have a question that is relevant to many other participants, and the opportunity is there for all participants to get clarity on any doubts they have with regards to didgeridoo playing.

Your registration for this program includes:

• 1x Live Didgeridoo Group class with AJ Block via Zoom on Sunday, Feb 8 at 2:30pm EST (90-minutes) – Class will be recorded and shared with you.

• 1x 60-minute 1-on-1 Didgeridoo Lesson with a Didge Project instructor via Zoom

• A $247 credit towards our 4-month program (details will be shared with you after registration)

Imagination is the power of creation. The sounds and songs of the world are bridges to freedom and awareness.

We welcome special guest and traditional Djembe player, Abdoul Doumbia. In this month’s Sounds of Liberation we will focus on connecting to our rhythm and to the traditional medicine of the Djembe and other drums.

Bring your voice, instruments and dance to this space of shared humanity to connect with sacred sound through song, story and prayer. Together we will cultivate the consciousness of joy, love, gratitude, dignity and peace in ourselves to radiate throughout the world.

This Aquarius Season we align with the energy of innovation. Aquarius is an air sign yet it is symbolized by the water-bearer. The water-bear pours down to all the wisdom, knowledge, and visions to elevate the collective consciousness. With the moon in opposition to the sun at this time in the sign of Leo, we reflect on how we as individuals show up in the collective. This is a time to focus on cultivating our authenticity, creative self-expression, and releasing old patterns to embrace your unique role within the larger community. 

Join us to honor this time with an astrological alignment of this time, a sound bath, integrations circle with a nice warming beverage, and more. 

Bring a pen, paper, and if you feel called, something to charge under this full moon energy.

Join Cassie Luzenski online for a FREE one hour sound meditation honoring the energy of the Capricorn New Moon.

Connect with the grounded energy of the New Moon in Capricorn. This lunar position, associated with the cardinal energy of winter in the north, is an excellent time to cultivate spiritual discipline and reflect on the balance of masculine and feminine principles in your being.

Capricorn, ruled by Saturn and associated with Kronos, the keeper of time, teaches us about constraints and how to work and find freedom within them.

Join us for a brief orientation to the astrology followed by a guided meditation and sound journey.
