<em><strong>the yo'garage</strong></em>: The spiritual center of Willow Springs.  We have weekly classes and ongoing workshops and special events. <a href="http://www.willowspringsnsj.org/wp/yo-garage">Click here for more info</a>.

<strong>Kirtan</strong>: With Punya and guests. Saturday, September 4, 7:30 to 9:00 pm (and every second Saturday of the month).  <em>By donation.</em> Chanting is a powerful way to clear  the mind and open the heart.  When we sing with devotion, we activate  those aspects of divinity to which we sing, within ourselves.  We are happy to offer an evening of kirtan led by Punya and guests,  for us to come together and create waves of peace that will positively  affect ourselves, our community and our planet.  Come sing your heart out to the Divine within you!

<strong> </strong>

<strong>DrumDance Journey</strong>: With Richard Parissi.  Sunday, September 12th (and every second Sunday of the month).  7 to 9 pm.  <em>By donation.</em> During this gently facilitated yet improvised DrumDance Journey, everyone has the option to move or drum to their inner beat of the divine collective. Many dimensions of consciousness are explored in these healing journeys. Angels, guides and ancestors often join us in celebration as we open to the divine expressions from within. No experience is needed, all experience is welcome. Bring your drums and percussive instruments to play and share.
