Poets will read, then judges will flash Olympic-style scoring to determine who goes on to the next round until there's just one poet left standing as the champion. It's a lot of fun!

Hosted by Matt Mason. Open mic starts at 7:30 followed by the featured performer and the slam; sign up BEFORE 7:30 as signup is limited and will only be allowed after 7:30 if less than 8 are in the slam.

Saturday, April 27, 11:30am-1:30pm  $25 
8 Healing Sounds & Movement Workshop 
Instructor Sarah Brandt (Knispel)
 The practice of the 8 Healing Sounds & coordinated movements combine:
sound, vibration, movement, breath, and visualization for balancing the mind & body.

In the Taoist tradition, this practice enhances one’s overall well-being and works
directly upon particular organs, emotions and energy channels in the body.
This workshop will enable you to transform the effects of emotions and
daily stress through sound and movement.
 

There is an old saying, “Our ‘issues’ reflect in our tissues.” Strong emotions and high stress require extra energy and have an effect on the body’s immunity and organs, often accelerating the aging process. This class will review the five major organs and their associated emotions, colors, sounds & elements—in
accordance with the Chinese 5 Element Theory. The 8 Healing Sounds & Movements is a simple practice for self-healing and rejuvenation. Discover how to integrate sound with movement to maintain a life of wellness and harmony!  

This self-healing practice is as taught by Master Chen of Wudang Mountain in China: www.wudangtao.com
