“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.

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.

No prior musical experience necessary, this is an opportunity for you to get your hands on instruments and play!

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.

Simply put, music is a deeply human activity (although not limited to the human species). Musical practices & traditions are distinguishing aspects of culture and are deeply interwoven with cosmology and community life. Shared music-making & dance can promote meaningful relationships & connections within & across social groups, leading to an improved quality of life, shared values & sense of belonging.

The Taurus Full Moon rises in the heart of Scorpio Season — a time when the veils thin, inviting us to journey inward, confront our shadows, and alchemize the parts of ourselves ready to evolve. Scorpio is the sign of transformation, emotional depth, and spiritual rebirth. It urges us to let go of what no longer serves, to face truths hidden beneath the surface, and to trust in the cycles of death and renewal that shape our lives.

With the Moon in Taurus — Scorpio’s opposite on the zodiac wheel — we are reminded that transformation does not always have to feel chaotic or untethered. Taurus offers the stabilizing energy we need to stay rooted as we navigate the depths. This is an invitation to come back into the body, to reconnect with the Earth, and to honor our physical needs as sacred.

Taurus helps us find beauty in the present moment. It speaks to the sensual world: touch, taste, nature, stillness. Under this Full Moon, we are asked to balance the emotional intensity of Scorpio with Taurus’s grounding presence. Where Scorpio strips away, Taurus helps us rebuild. Where Scorpio dives deep into the unseen, Taurus brings what we’ve discovered back into tangible form.

Join us to take a moment to honor your growth, soften into your becoming, and be present the transformations you may be moving through with an astrological conversation, sound bath and guided meditation, integration circle and more.

Bring a pen and journal, and anything else you feel called to bring so that it can receive the vibrations of the evening.

The Virgo Pisces axis is a time of a polarity between our practical nature and our spiritual nature. Are we too focused on the teeny tiny details of life, or are we lost in a dream? How do we find the balance between our logical side and our intuitive side? These are some of the questions that we can meditate on during this time. We may already be seeing these themes playing out in our lives at this time. During this Virgo season we may be more focused on where we are being analytical or detail-oriented, where we are becoming too logical and too much of a perfectionist. 

The pisces full moon helps to bring some balance here. It brings in the energy of the waters to help us expand out of the mental processes that we may be stuck in, and allows us to flow back into our more intuitive nature. It can bring us back into the power of belief instead of trying to analyze everything, to help us recognize that there is value in both wisdom and knowledge. 

Join us this Full Moon to call in that balance, to connect with the energies of the astrological season and reflect on how some of these themes may be coming to light in your life. We will come together to discuss more in depth these energies and planetary movements, have an intention setting ritual to connect within, embark on a sound journey and meditation, and end in an integration circle where we will enjoy a nice tea. 

Bring a pen and journal, and anything else you feel called to bring so that it can receive the vibrations of the evening. 

Connect with the New Moon in Virgo. Join us online on our new community platform for a free meditation and sound bath. The new moon is a wonderful time to set intentions. We will be guiding you through an intention setting exercise, mediation and sound bath.
