Come one, come all! Let’s party… FOR BEARS!

Each month we gather in Ra Ma Kaur’s temple living room as a community of womxn reclaiming our connection to the Divine Feminine. As we come together in this sacred way we stretch our nervous systems to hold more for one another and therefore ourselves and our lineages.

Join us for a special evening as Women gather in honor of the Gemini New Moon. We invoke the scribe, the storyteller, the butterfly, the Fool. The New Moon offers a necessary time to shed in a sacred container that transforms the lessons learned in the previous moon cycle into higher consciousness.

You will receive astrological downloads, Stone Medicine Tonics, Kundalini Meditation and Deep Gong Resound Healing in a sacred space as we cultivate and reawaken the power of Woman.

Gemini by Yogi Bhajan

When innocence loves innocence

And openness becomes secretive,

And the blend of the three worlds-

Past, present and future – comes to an end…

Then Gemini is experienced!

Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín, a profoundly moving multimedia concert-drama, combines the magnificent music of Verdi with video and narration, to tell the story of the courageous Jewish prisoners in the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp (Terezín) who performed the celebrated Verdi Requiem while experiencing the depths of human degradation. With only a smuggled score, they performed the famous oratorio sixteen times, including one performance before senior SS officials from Berlin and an International Red Cross delegation. Conductor Rafael Schächter told the choir, “We will sing to the Nazis what we cannot say to them.”

Created and conducted by Maestro Murry Sidlin, Defiant Requiem: Verdi at Terezín features a full performance of Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem Mass, video testimony from survivors of the original chorus, segments of the Nazi propaganda film made at Terezín in 1944, and actors to relay the impassioned story of how and why these Jewish prisoners, who faced death every day, chose to learn and perform a Latin, Catholic mass during their darkest hours.

Red Dress Amy

Born in Charlotte, NC and raised on rock n’ roll, Red Dress Amy brings a ton of energy to any stage they set foot on. Kevin Hamilton (guitar/vocals) and Dalton Monroe (drums/vocals) draw on influences such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes to cultivate their gritty, high-octane rock n’ roll. With their driving rhythms and fuzz-heavy guitar riffs, these guys cross generational audiences. Their sound is reminiscent of some of the iconic classic rock icons they grew up listening to while staying modern and relevant to younger audiences.

PONCÉ

PONCÉ is a dynamic pop rock duo based in Nashville, TN consisting of twin brothers Carson and Michael Poncé. Indianapolis natives, the twins efficiently cross genres; from classic, harmony-driven melodies reminiscent of Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers, to modern, synth-led pop productions evocative of The Killers, Bleachers and HAIM.

“PONCÉ has zeroed in on what makes a good marriage of earnest pop and glossy rock, and they’ve channeled it into a batch of eight danceable, hook-laden songs.” – NASHVILLE SCENE
