Connection Concert • Saturday, November 15th • 2-6:30pm
Join us as we attune to autumn's invitation to get cozy and care more deeply for ourselves and one another. Plus, we have a sound bath artist and special out-of-state guest joining us this month!
What Are Connection Concerts? Connection Concerts are consent-based, embodiment-focused, playful music and community-healing events—a hybrid workshop & concert!
First-timers often say this is their FAVORITE event and leave lit up with joy and energy. We all need platonic connection, music, play, care, and community—and Connection Concerts create exactly that.
What to Expect:

• 2-2:30pm — Arrival (please arrive fed & ready to connect)
• 2:30pm — Doors close, guided embodiment & movement
• ~3pm — Opening circle with cacao ceremony
• ~4pm — Nurture Pods (practice asking for, giving & receiving care)
• ~5pm — Concert, cuddling & the 4 Pillars of Traditional Healing
• ~6pm — Sound Bath! by one of our special guests!
• ~6:30pm — Closing circle & harvesting

You'll experience authentic sharing, dancing, music, consent practices, optional touch/cuddling, song circles, storytelling by Katie Strand, and open mic for participants to share poetry, music, or movement. All participation is optional—tune into your inner compass!
