Easter Time    

Let's put winter behind us for good! The month of April brings some great music: Emmanuel Vukovich in a benefit for the Christian Community, and Marcus Macauley joins Claude Gilbert in a benefit for the eurythmy school's fourth year. How lucky are we to have so much musical talent in our midst?

A new biography workshop with Jennifer Brooks Quinn starts on April 1, and Movie Night (soon to be a monthly event!) features "More Than Honey," a beautiful and enlightening film about honeybees, with a discussion led by Pfeiffer Center beekeeper Bill Day.

You can do a eurythmy workshop with Dorothea Mier, learn the secrets of leadership at Sunbridge, and delve into the 12 senses at the seminary. After all that, take a moment to smell the native wildflowers with visiting expert Carol Gracie.

Happy Easter!

A reminder: Please use the contact information with each listing to confirm event details, especially if you are coming from a distance. And be sure to regularly check the Threefold Events Page for late-breaking announcements and new events.
