Live music by Sineqube, the ambient music project of Kevin Holland and Jennifer Dutiel will set the soundscape for the evening. Together, they create original improvised music by orchestrating and layering vast timbral palettes of guitar and voice. Playing with the balance between the gentle, soothing bed of ambience and the uncharted frontiers of experimental music, they fuse elements of both to paint a live aural canvas that is exploratory, soothing and inviting.

In a gentle restorative yoga style, we will slow down & invite softness and patience into the busy-ness of the holiday season. You will receive oil assists with blends of peppermint, cinnamon, clove, orange, fir & pine for relaxation of body, mind & spirit.
