π΅ 1pm Shape Note Singing
π΅ 1pm Shape Note Singing
05/03/2026 (3 weeks ago)
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.Β Cost: $2/person FMI Contact: Maine Shape Note Singing CommunityΒ Alan Cohen Β biopestman@gmail.comΒ (202) 669-6363 or Stephen Chace perniciousanemia115@gmail.com (207)Β 610-2357

π 7pm Sonic Yoga Nidra
π 7pm Sonic Yoga Nidra
05/16/2026 (5 days ago)
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Thereβs a particularΒ kind of exhaustion evolving from modern life β far beyond physical, but cognitive. Emotional. Existential. This Sonic Yoga Nidra practiceΒ 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 β 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. Peterβs 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, Senβs trauma-informed approachΒ 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 wonβt be asked to move.
You wonβt be guided to effort.
You wonβt be urged to fix yourself.
Youβll lie down.
Youβll listen.
Youβll be guided back to awareness itself; invited to remember.Β
Bring whatever helps you feel supported and warm:Β We recommend you bring your favorite blanket and any other props to help you feel comfortable,Β suchΒ as a mat, pillow or eye mask.
Rest is where weΒ reconnect with ourselves, so that we can meaningfully and lovingly be present in the lives and communities which we are a part of.Β
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
