Into The Dark: A Hanukkah & Kwanzaa Celebration Ritual
Join us for a communal celebration of this darkest time of the year, filled with music, meditation, and teachings.As the land rests and many creatures settle into their long slumber, we gather to reflect and be together.This is a special opportunity for us to turn inward, listen, sing and be in the warmth of community amidst the darkness.
Sign up to be a part of the Choir Workshop on December 27. Join us for an incredible opportunity to work with Melanie DeMore for a community choir rehearsal to be performed at the Kwanzaa/Hannukkah ritual.
