SUMMARY:The Carousel of Life
DESCRIPTION:The Carousel of Life\nFriday\, March 7\nGuest DJ: DJ Purrriestess (Cat Hay)\nSupporting Facilitator: Jeannie Adair \nThe Carousel of Life \nLife will have many chapters\nThat is\, if we are one of the lucky\nBlessed to see many seasons\nBlessed to write a life story \nIt takes a lot of courage\nTo know when a chapter must end\nTo trust in what’s yet to be written\nTo start over and begin again \nIt takes a lot of courage\, too\nTo know when a chapter’s undone\nStill so much to be resolved\nBefore moving on to the next one \nEach chapter plays into the next\nSome circle back around.\nAnd just like that we live out our days\nOn Life’s merri-go-round \nRegardless of the chapter you are in\,\nAnd of all the characters you’ve known\,\nAfter its all said and done\,\nIt’s you\, the narrator\, that sets the tone \nSo let’s choose our words wisely\nWith conscious narrativity\nDancing through life lovingly\nFor this is our legacy \nI see you writing your story\,\nHow beautiful it is to see\nPersevering through the chapters of life\nYour sacred precious journey \nMay we let go of chapters past\,\nAnd give love to the ones we are in\nMay we be here now with open hearts\nAnd allow for when chapters beg to begin \nThis is the carousel of our lives\nLet’s have ourselves a good time\nDancing each step of our beautiful story\nEach one perfect & divine ❤

SUMMARY:Harmony
DESCRIPTION:Harmony\nSunday\, March 9th\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nAMC’s vision is a world that moves in harmony where all are free to be their authentic selves within a loving community. \nBut what is harmony?  We recognize it when we hear it or feel it\, but it is nearly impossible to define. It involves an acceptance of differences.  It’s likened to ease and peace.  And it comes close to synergy. \nThis is an invitation to immerse yourself in sound and movement in order to deepen your somatic understanding of harmony and disharmony within yourself\, with others and within a collective.

SUMMARY:To Rise
DESCRIPTION:To Rise\nSunday\, March 16th\nFacilitator: Lanie McKeever \nWhat does it mean to rise? \nThe dictionary shares that “to rise” could mean any of the following: \n: to assume an upright position especially from lying\, kneeling\, or sitting\n: to get up from sleep or from one’s bed\n: to return from death\n: rise in rebellion\n: to respond warmly: applaud\n: to appear above the horizon\n: to move upward: ascend\n: to increase in height\, size\, volume\, or pitch\n: to extend above other objects\n: to become heartened or elated\n: to increase in fervor or intensity\n: to increase in quantity or number\n: to take place: happen\n: to come into being: originate\n: to follow as a consequence: result\n: to exert oneself to meet a challenge \nAs I explored what it means “to rise” for me\, I found myself first caught in the sensation of lifting up\, stretching outwards\, expanding\, coming forth. Then there was the secondary realization that “to rise” one needs a place “to rise” from. Is this place where I physically am on the Earth? Is this place from within—in my Heart\, my Soul\, my Voice? Where am I rising from? What am I rising towards? \nFor this wave\, we will notice how the energy “to rise” shows up for us and for the community.

SUMMARY:Walk in Beauty
DESCRIPTION:Walk in Beauty\nSunday\, April 6th\nFacilitator: Ted Riskin \nThe Navajo concept of walking in beauty encapsulates a philosophy of living in harmony\, balance\, and reverence for the natural order. It is a way of life that integrates spiritual\, physical\, and emotional well-being\, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things. This philosophy encourages individuals to strive for balance in their relationships with themselves\, others\, and the natural world\, often through ceremonies and practices that restore harmony when it is lost. Walking in beauty is a continuous journey of aligning oneself with the rhythms of existence\, fostering peace\, and embodying the beauty of creation in every step. \n(Walk in Beauty is also a salon where you don’t need an appointment.)

SUMMARY:Fault Line
DESCRIPTION:Fault Line\nSunday\, April 13th\nFacilitator: Sara Bensman \nA fault line arises from underlying pressures beneath the surface. By the time it cracks open\, it’s usually been building for a long time. Even if we recognize that it will likely lead to a release of pent-up energy and new possibilities\, it tends to feel frightening and ominous. When faced with unstable ground beneath our feet\, what are the internal resources we need to cultivate to withstand the chaos that inevitably arises?

SUMMARY:Beyond the Veil
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Veil\nFriday\, April 18th\nFacilitator: Rory Jagdeo \n“Across our path a sunbeam gently lies;We know not whence it came; we think we know;But\, as we watch its glories come and go\,It fades away! Whither? Into the skies?We seek to follow it\, with blinking eyes\,Beyond the Veil—of which we nothing know!But e’en imagination is too slowTo chase a sunbeam as it heavenward flies.The fairest and the dearest objects fade\,Just as a sunbeam comes and glides away;But\, e’en while lingering in the gloom and shade\,Struggling through sorrow’s night into the day\,We feel “’tis better to have loved and lostThan never to have loved”—whate’er the cost.”\n~ Timothy Thomas Fortune

SUMMARY:Chaos Magician
DESCRIPTION:Chaos Magician\nSunday\, May 4th\nFacilitator: Eduardo Arias \nHe wasn’t just my best friend. He was my brother. Not by blood—but by something deeper. Soul recognition. Like we were carved from the same piece of sky. \nWe met on a bright June day back in 2016\, at a little breakfast spot in Asheville. Funny how something so ordinary ends up being the start of everything. We clicked instantly. Motorcycles\, weird old philosophy books\, emotional chaos\, the works. Gurdjieff\, Jung\, Osho—we weren’t into small talk\, we were into soul talk. \nOver the years\, we discovered just how similar we were. The same hopes. The same fears. The same wiring\, but also the same wild-hearted love for this strange\, beautiful life. He was the first person I ever told my darkest secrets to—the kind of stories you lock up deep. And he didn’t flinch. Just held space like a goddamn lighthouse. \nWe traveled together\, we drank and laughed and read each other poems while listening to Bon Iver and Nine Inch Nails and Miles Davis. We howled at the moon like two overgrown boys trying to out-feel the universe. He showed me his shadow\, and I showed him mine. But more than that—we showed each other the light. That deep\, radiant kind of light that only comes when someone truly sees you. \nAnd man\, could he push the limits of reality. \nOnce\, in Brooklyn\, we went to see this ambient piano genius. The line outside the venue was insane\, and we had crappy tickets. But he walks right up to a group of six total strangers and somehow convinces them to let us cut the line. Just like that. Then we sit in someone else’s seats—front and center—and when the actual ticket holders show up\, he hands them our tickets and says\, completely calm\, “Just go talk to the ushers—they’ll fix it.” And they did. They just walked away like he cast a spell on them. \nLater that night\, he sang a Radiohead song at a Korean karaoke bar. “Fake Plastic Trees.” And by the time he finished\, there were ten women in the room\, no joke\, who had drifted in like moths. He didn’t even flirt. Just talked and laughed like the world was brand new and made just for him. Like he was playing the simulation and the rest of us were catching up. \nHe could push the edge without ever being caught. Bend time\, bend people\, bend the whole damn vibe—and do it with a smirk and a shoulder shrug. \nHe left this world on March 25th. \nAnd there’s a part of me that still refuses to believe it. Still hears his voice when I walk alone. Still sees his face when I’m laughing too hard at nothing. Still feels him in the space between breaths. \nIf love could’ve saved him\, he’d still be here. But he gave me enough love to last this lifetime. \nRest easy\, brother. \nYou’re still here—in every story\, every dream\, every moment I remember to feel.
