Monthly Sound Bath Experience
Registration Required: Register Online
Join Sound Practitioner and Reiki Master, Genevieve Deely, for a unique meditative experience for adults using the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls to soothe the mind, body and soul. A sound bath is a meditative experience allowing those in attendance to be immersed in calming and healing sound waves. As half of the human body is made up of water and water is an excellent conductor of sound, there is very little effort on your part to experience the healing effects of sound.
Sound Baths are experiences that may help reduce stress of all kinds and induce deeper connection to one’s inner world. Genevieve will lead participants through this unique experience using the healing sounds of crystal singing bowls and chanting to soothe the mind, body and soul.
Participants can be in a seated position or lying down. If you choose to lie down, it is most important you bring a yoga mat, blanket and pillow to be comfortable during the hour.
Classes operate on a donation basis. Please consider giving up to $10 a class to go directly to the program leader (cash/check/venmo).
Please Note – Priority is given to Mendham Township Residents. Please register for each session separately.

Bernstein on Broadway
Registration Required: Register Online
Though not a native New Yorker, Leonard Bernstein had a long association with the city of New York. He wrote three legendary Broadway Musicals celebrating the city he loved. Join Marc Courtade as he discusses On the Town, Wonderful Town and West Side Story, all three showcasing different aspects of “New York, New York, a helluva a town!” Participants will listen to musical examples, to examine the eras involved (1930’s with Wonderful Town, 1940’s with On the Town, and 1950’s with West Side Story) and how they reflect New York. Attendees will also examine his “problem” musicals, Candide and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, which still show Bernstein’s strong musical voice even in flawed (though fascinating) settings.
Marc Courtade is a performing arts professional with over 30 years experience and a passion for sharing his knowledge about the arts. He recently retired as the Executive Director at Huntington Arts Council, a position he held for 7 years. Marc’s experience working in the entertainment and arts industry includes Lincoln Center, Humanities New York and LIU Post. He is passionate about the arts, musical theater, opera and great performers.
