SUMMARY:Nurturing the Poet & Prophet Within
DESCRIPTION:Join Poets & Prophets at The Meetinghouse for Nurturing the Poet & Prophet Within!\n\nSaturday\, October 25\, 2025\n9:30 am – 4:30 pm\n  \nAs leaders\, we are called to serve within this time of deep\, disruptive change\, across the social\, environmental\, and economic divides that we face. You may be feeling the need to respond\, but unsure of how to begin. Start your journey with us as we take a day apart to develop as leaders – as the poet-prophets – that we want to be in the world. \nSpend a day reconnecting with yourself\, community\, and the natural world. Begin with reflection on The Leader as Poet & Prophet\, pause for lunch at The Market\, and continue with a restorative Forest Bathing session. The day closes with chanting and practice in Sanskrit Wisdom and Chanting\, leaving you refreshed\, inspired\, and grounded in new ways of leading and living. \nRegister Here\nEach workshop can be purchased individually\, or buy all three for a discount. \n  \n  \nSchedule Details:\n9:30 am – Gathering with Coffee\, 2nd Floor Shields Hall Gallery \n  \n10:00 am – Poets & Prophets: The Leader as Poet & Prophet\, Shields Hall. Cost: $25 \nLed by Dr. Deborah Rundlett \nYou’ve felt the call to respond to the disruptive challenges of our times—yet the question remains: how? This workshop invites you to nurture the Poet and Prophet within your leadership. \n\nThe Poet gives voice to what our communities are yearning for.\nThe Prophet calls us to courageous action.\n\nTogether\, Poet and Prophet empower us to lead change that brings life—to our communities\, our organizations\, and ourselves. \nFind your voice. Lead with vision. Live with courage. Step into the call: You are both Poet and Prophet! \n  \n12:00 pm – Lunch.

This session is held outdoors\, so please dress for the weather. (Watch this short Forest Bathing video to learn more before you come!) \n  \n2:30 pm – Afternoon Break \n  \n3:00 pm – Poets & Prophets: Sanskrit Wisdom and Chanting\, Wellness Center. Cost: $40 \nLed by Kate Loewengart\, RYT 200 Hour & Mindfulness Instructor\, Wellness Resident at The Meetinghouse \nThe poetry of Sanskrit wisdom and the prophetic nature of ancient chants have the power to bring us together more deeply as yogis and those hoping to make change in the world. Sanskrit is a language that teaches us that while words have meaning\, it is the physical experience of those words — their vibration — that allow for connection and integration. Kirtan\, or community chanting\, offers a path to experience this vibration through bhakti (BHAK-tee)\, the yoga of devotion; jnana (gyah-nah)\, the yoga of wisdom; and mantra\, the yoga of sound. Designed for anyone curious about mantras and chanting or those with experience ready to practice in community\, this workshop will include a discussion of meaning\, an exploration into the significance of chanting for both the personal and communal\, group chanting\, and a closing restorative practice that savors the energy we create through sound. Each yogi will leave with a deeper understanding of kirtan as a practice\, a chant or mantra that speaks to them\, and a mala to continue practice at home or in community.

SUMMARY:Special Event: "Stone Soup" Open Mic Night at The Market
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative open mic! \nThe story of stone soup is about the beauty of collaboration… everyone’s individual ingredients could taste much better when combined and cooked together in one big soup. Open mics are amazing for every artist getting their sole moment of glory\, but they could become a special space of spontaneous\, shared art if we mesh our art into others. \nBasically\, instead of everyone quietly sitting and snapping and waiting their turns\, you get up and integrate your own words\, sounds\, movements\, art\, etc if you feel compelled and inspired to by the person currently performing. It is a chance within an open environment to improvise and jam with many people\, to freely create with strangers. \nThis special Stone Soup Open Mic The Market is Sunday\, November 9\, from 4:00-6:00 pm\, so mark your calendars and plan to join us!

SUMMARY:Stone Soup Open Mic Night at The Market
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative open mic! \nThe story of stone soup is about the beauty of collaboration… everyone’s individual ingredients could taste much better when combined and cooked together in one big soup. Open mics are amazing for every artist getting their sole moment of glory\, but they could become a special space of spontaneous\, shared art if we mesh our art into others. \nBasically\, instead of everyone quietly sitting and snapping and waiting their turns\, you get up and integrate your own words\, sounds\, movements\, art\, etc if you feel compelled and inspired to by the person currently performing. It is a chance within an open environment to improvise and jam with many people\, to freely create with strangers. \nThis special Stone Soup Open Mic The Market is Sunday\, December 14\, from 4:00-6:00 pm\, so mark your calendars and plan to join us!
