MELT at the MRC: Ghost Pipe & Lunarison
April 25th, 7:30pm-11:55pm
This month we are excited to present Conor Willis's project Ghost Pipe.
Ghost Pipe is the spirit-channeled experience of holistic psychotherapist and graduate professor of psychology and counseling Connor Wills. Ghost Pipe is meant to be more of a sound healing than a DJ set. Folks in attendance can expect to hear sampled vocal wisdom from indigenous leaders around the world, experts in trauma healing, and other reminders about self-love woven in over each track.
Joining us again, for the first time since last year's Maple & Hemlock event will be Luna, Ari & Jason, known as Lunarison.
LUNARISON invites you into a dynamic movement practice that merges elements of yoga and dance with an improvisational soundscape of guitar, harmonium, handpan and vocals. Join yoga therapist Ari Heart, vocalist and musician Luna Bop, and loop artist Jason Abram for a therapeutic yoga practice set to live music.

Spring Work Weekend at Camp Timber Trails
April 25th, 7:30pm-11:55pm
Every spring a core group of community members from the HeARTbeat Collective head out to
Camp Timber Trails for a volunteer work (and play) weekend.
By day, we roll up our sleeves and work on projects that beautify and prepare the camp for the upcoming season. We connect with and enjoy the beauty of the land. We cook, break bread and eat together.
By night, we make music, sometimes in the lodge and sometimes around the fire.
You are warmly invited to join us!

Forestdance Fire Circle Ceremonial Gathering & Rite of Passage 2026
August 19th-23rd
This gathering is a celebration of all that we are and all that we can be.
This is a place where we carry and catch songs of the elements, as we dance around the fire. Forestdance is a safe container to express joy, grief, and praise, to speak truth, and to honor and love the world as deeply as you have longed to.
The history of this gathering shares lineage with various spiritual fire circle traditions, including Starwood, Firedance, Phoenix Fire, Celebrate the Spirit, Spiritfire, Illumination and Cascadia Fire.
"Your culture is welcome. Your ethnic origin is welcome. Your race, your skin hue, your accent, your food preferences, and all of the complexities that make up your cultural identity are welcome here. The histories, herstories, and experiences of your ancestors are honored and welcomed." --From the co-created The Big Welcome
