Follow The Drums This First FridayDrums are beating on Kiowa Street to help you find your way to The Lawrence Dryhurst Gallery.
Mountain Soul Drummers with Judith Piazza will perform out front of the Gallery from 5 to 6 p.m. Jazz to follow. Mountain Soul Drummers is a spirited group of women who love to drum! Come be inspired, moved, energized, and amazed as Judith guides the group in rhythms influenced by traditions and songs from West Afrika, Latin America, the Middle East, and our own indigenous selves. If you need to sit, bring your own chairs. Since it’s a sidewalk show, the seven professional drummers will be worth staying the full hour. Jazz will begin inside the Gallery at 6 p.m. August 5th, 2022 at 5PM - 6PM (Fri) ADMISSION: Free |

INTER-CHANGE to INNNER-CHANGEWHO?
Limited to 18 women who are interested in having meaningful conversations Group Facilitators: Tamara Moore (Organizational Consultant), Betz Smisek (Artist and Creative Entrepreneur) and Amanda Allee (Dean of Students at UCCS) WHAT? An experience to meet in smaller groups of 6 and inter-change ideas about one specific for a possible inner-change in the way one processes a certain word. For example, if this month's word was, "freedom," what does the word freedom mean to you? Tell a story about a time you experienced freedom. Is there such a thing as too much freedom? Tamara, Amanda and Betz will facilitate the discussion while we dine on a yummy catered dinner and enjoy a beverage (wine and non-alcoholic offerings). WHERE? The Lawrence Dryhurst Galley, 122 E Kiowa Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903 WHEN? A four (4) month session, preference given to women who can attend all sessions Tuesday nights starting in July from 6pm to 8:30pm (formal program ends at 8:00) July,12th, August 16th, September 13th, October 11th HOW? Relax, show up, listen, interact and learn perspectives. Kind of like a book club without the book. Just a word. The words will be pre-selected for the first three months, and you will pick a word the last month. We are leaving the details up to the Universe. Who knows what will happen in the inter-change for possible inner-change? WHY? Women we know are hungry for meaningful conversation and want something beyond the typical networking events. We need to feed our souls with the phrase, “I never thought of it that way.” Sometimes our own inner voice can stagnate with our own ideas. Maybe all we need is to pour fresh water into our brain pool. |
