Music & Movement Workshop

With Eric Hollander and Janira Bremner

August 27, 2025

Date and Time Details: August 27, 6:30-8:300pm

Suggested donation – $5.00 - $35.00

Join us for a very special experience of the senses in our Chapel. We will engage in the art of music and movement, with sound and silence, motion and stillness, inviting participants to improvise with the direction and gentle facilitation of Eric Hollander and Janira Bremner, our current Artists in Residence. No previous musical, movement or improvising experience is required for your participation.

We will gather as a small group to learn how to connect music and movement with the spiritual life and prayer, express ourselves, create space for one another, and reflect together on the experience. Improvisation (making sound and movement with spontaneity) brings us to a moment of vulnerability and openness – and also to the edge of silence: into which a voice burgeons, moves, and comes to rest.

Registration deadline: August 26

*Free-Will Donations are appreciated to support our ongoing arts programming.
