Rhythms are rising at the VA.

Thanks to the volunteer dedication of Julie and Mandi, who booth kindly took a day off work, we are spreading rhythms at the VA!  The VA hosted a Whole Health event introducing the variety of complimentary care options they offer vets. Our team provided two quick, but lively Drum Flow Sessions. Vets reported feeling a reduction in pain, a quieting of anxiety, feelings of community, an awakening of creativity, and a return to a long forgotten  childlike wonder.  Feet were tapping and smiles were shared and laughter flowed. Good medicine!

If you know of someone who might be interested in volunteering to facilitate these sessions, or others like them, please invite them to our May 7th  gathering at 824 Main!

In additional to financial contributions, there are other ways people can help our project.

Help Protect the Oak forests along the Red River

MB Johnson Park is one of the largest city parks in the Red River Valley. In addition to providing several open recreational areas, there are many miles of trails that navigate the Red River and Snakey creek. Unfortunately the park has also become a habitat for the invasive shrub known as common buckthorn. Come join other volunteers in managing this invasive species and then, enjoy some food and rhythms afterward.
