October Update

by

Hello,

We hope that you are doing well. Life here has been full – David spent the month of September in Crested Butte M-F working with Celebrate the Beat and in Carbondale gigging on the weekends and Arlyn and the not-quite-so-little one found creative ways to keep everything running at the homestead.

Thanks to Aaron of AJ Designs, we’ve updated our website with a bit of a new look – www.embodyingrhythm.com and our newsletter will now be coming through Mail Chimp.

We’ve got a lot of great events coming up in October, please check out the list below for class and concert information including the first concert on the Blue Sage World Music Concert Series October 22nd.

many blessings,
Arlyn and David
