Tuesday, November 26: Dancegiving
Our annual alternative family gathering for our beloved community. For anyone and everyone sticking around the city for the holidays, this is for you! You don't have to miss out on any heartwarming moments. If you don't have the opportunity to share time with your given family, come join us at Crossroads Café and Alchemia Studio with your chosen family
Pay what you can. 6 PM to midnight. Alchemia Studios, Bushwick. Info here.
Thursday, November 28: Gratitude CircleSing
This gathering will take our Candlelight CircleSinging practice and infuse it with the intention of expressing gratitude in our songs. The practice of gratitude is one that has been proven to have profound benefits for the thanks-giver, and we believe that expressing this gratitude in community and in song can deeply amplify its power. Our giving of thanks will take many forms ~ from meditative moments to dance parties to roof-raising anthems and everything in between. Join us for an evening of spontaneously crafted songs as we sing THANK YOU to all that is.
Donation-based. 7 to 9:30 PM. Arts On Site, 12 Saint Marks Place. Info here.
