Join us at the Del Monte Speakeasy THIS Saturday for a night of soulful, spoken word and live music by
the one and only, Grammy-nominated, Sonja Marie.
Sonja Marie’s numerous poetry readings led her to a performance on the multi-platinum and Grammy nominated soundtrack “Waiting To Exhale”. She was included as one of the three writers featured on the album with her song, “And I Gave My Love To You”. Since then, she has shared her gifts with Whitney Houston, Teena Marie, and Cody Chesnutt, just to name a few. Sonja Marie has released two solo albums, “Black Album Vol. 1” and “Nativity Screams” available on iTunes.
Sonja Marie remains close to the groove with music that spins tasty jazz, hip-hop, funk, melodics and poetry.
Something different with Dad.
Do dad’s really just want to go to brunch on Father’s Day? How about a super cool class where you can learn about creating pieces of music from scratch with looping techniques by using pedals, microphones, and even an iPhone? Calling all music-lovers, musicians and aspiring music-makers! Join us for a fun afternoon gathering with percussionist, Larry Salzman as he shows us the ways that rhythm, pitch and tempo affect us all. Each musical piece he creates will be designed to associate with a particular mood while he demonstrates examples with instruments from all over the world - some that people have probably never seen! A great way to spend time with your dad on Father’s Day! Let’s explore the power of sound and rhythm!

Reason #1 to go on a retreat: You’ll get a new perspective. Going to a new place creates an opportunity to see the world, and yourself, in a new light in order to grow & learn.
Reason #2 to go on a retreat: You’ll detox digitally. One of our favorite things about a retreat is shutting off technology. While you might have wifi, you don’t feel the need to constantly tweet, text, update facebook or call friends. It feels good to unplug.
Reason #3 You’ll relax and de-stress. Sometimes we have to be far from home to give ourselves the permission to truly relax. Being on a retreat allows you to listen to your body, rest when you need it, and be free from stress.
Reason #4 to go on a retreat: You’ll replace old habits. When you get out of your regular routine, you can replace unhealthy habits with conscious new behaviors that support you in being your best self.
Reason #5 to attend our peaceful retreats: You’ll eat well without having to do all of the work. Here’s an exclusive peek into the spice rack of genius White Lotus chef, Beatrix Rohlsen. http://bit.ly/15yLiWb
Reason #6 to go to a yoga retreat: 3. You’ll *actually* meditate. When you have extended free time, it’s a lot easier to get quiet. No cell phone buzzing or looming deadlines. On retreats, it feels a lot more natural to breathe deeply and be present in the moment.
And finally, reason #7: Going on a retreat gives you the chance to make new friends with people from all walks of life who you might know for the rest of your life.
