🩰 12:30pm Contemplative Dance Practice
04/02/2026 (3 hours ago)
12:30 pm - 1:45 pm
Contemplative Dance Practice (CDP) is a meditative movement form that combines sitting meditation with free-form, improvisational dance. Developed by Barbara Dilley at Naropa University in the 1970s, it functions as a "dancer's meditation hall," allowing practitioners to explore inner sensations and present-moment awareness, alone or in a group. Open to all, no experience or dance background necessary.
If new to CDP, please arrive promptly by 12:30 to get oriented to the practice. You can read more about CDP here: https://www.naropa.edu/magazine/contemplative-dance-practice/
Cost to attend: $10-15 (no one turned away for lack of funds)

🎵 1pm Shape Note Singing
🎵 1pm Shape Note Singing
04/05/2026 (3 days from now)
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Shape note singing is a system originally devised to teach sight-reading and singing in harmony to folks with no musical background. From its beginnings in colonial America, it now has an international following. Non-performance singing, in four parts, for the joy of the activity alone is a beautiful example of community-based art. No experience or talent is required. We sing for one another; everyone is welcome.Our afternoon of Shape-note singing would include a brief history and description of the music and then simply singing from The Sacred Harp, the tune book most commonly used for this. We will bring loaner books. Cost: $2/person FMI Contact: Maine Shape Note Singing Community Alan Cohen biopestman@gmail.com (202) 669-6363 or Stephen Chace perniciousanemia115@gmail.com (207) 610-2357

🪷 6pm Singing to the Divine
04/17/2026 (2 weeks from now)
6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Singing to the Divine – for anyone who loves music, song, and the spirit
North India has a rich tradition of devotional songs, which were composed by great saints and spiritual adepts, such as Kabir, Nanak, Arjan, and Ajaib. The songs span a range of spiritual emotion, from separation and longing to faith, prayer, and joy. These evenings we will select some of the most hauntingly beautiful of these songs and melodies and learn to sing them in the original Punjabi language. We'll translate their meanings, and also give you copies to sing from.
Vegan pot luck at 6:00
Singing from 6:30– 7:30 PM
By donation, all proceeds go to The Gatherings community center.

🙏 7pm Sonic Yoga Nidra
🙏 7pm Sonic Yoga Nidra
04/18/2026 (2 weeks from now)
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
There’s a particular kind of exhaustion evolving from modern life — far beyond physical, but cognitive. Emotional. Existential. This Sonic Yoga Nidra practice gently supports remembering: reconnecting with awareness and the sense of inner space that comes with it.
Peter Hile will guide a live Yoga Nidra journey — a practice of conscious rest that gently leads you into the space between waking and sleeping, where the body unwinds and awareness becomes simple again. Peter’s facilitation centers presence over performance, depth over theatrics, and the quiet remembering that peaceful stillness persists beyond experience.
As the Nidra unfolds, integral sound healing practitioner Sen Wilde weaves a live soundscape of crystal and Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, and layered instrumentation. Drawing on formal training in sound healing and nervous system regulation, Sen’s trauma-informed approach creates sonic containers that are spacious, immersive, and thoughtfully held. Together, this collaboration helps participants settle from surface overwhelm into a steadier, more regulated inner field.
You won’t be asked to move.
You won’t be guided to effort.
You won’t be urged to fix yourself.
You’ll lie down.
You’ll listen.
You’ll be guided back to awareness itself; invited to remember.
Bring whatever helps you feel supported and warm: We recommend you bring your favorite blanket and any other props to help you feel comfortable, such as a mat, pillow or eye mask.
Rest is where we reconnect with ourselves, so that we can meaningfully and lovingly be present in the lives and communities which we are a part of.
Third Saturday of each month from 7-8:30pm
All are welcome: please no pets or children under 12.
Cost: $25-50 Sliding Scale Donation
