When asked to describe her sound in three words, Dr. Kyle Smith said, “Queer Farm Vibes… or maybe… Sad Boy Progressive.”
Book Reading Experience
From 4-7pm, at the start of every hour, listen to the author and illustrator, Leo Fortune, read their guided meditation book that doubles as a children’s book for all our inner children. Winter Solstice (Dec 21) marks the darkest day of the year and the return of the light. Come celebrate all that has been growing in the darkness and is getting ready to bloom in the spring! There will be sheets to color based on the pictures in the book and a communal giant tree to draw/write your roots on – your intentions from this winter that will blossom in the coming months.
