Kavita MacMillanMusic with Kavita MacMillan and Friends will bring all our voices into this space.

This year the world & our planet have entered a strange bardo, a nebulous state between past and future. We can’t go back and the path ahead is unnerving and uncertain. But visions of a world of greater cooperation and compassion, creativity and courage, justice and joy — a world that works for all — are germinating like seeds resting beneath the winter snow, waiting for spring.

Register now, space is limited.

Bowing to what’s gone, we’ll turn toward the winter with strong hearts full of wonder, community, and care.
