Register for Drink & Draw here

Drink & Draw is a modern twist on the classic artistic practice of life drawing. Artists of all experience levels and backgrounds are welcome, especially those that have always wanted to try their hand.
In this non-instructional event, we aim to create a relaxing, social and inclusive environment for the community to come together for a fun night of drawing. After some mingling with fellow guests, participants will have an opportunity to capture the human body in poses of different lengths, with breaks for refreshments in between.
There’s wine, crackers, cheese and cookies to enjoy, and our host curates a playlist to keep your energy flowing. The evening lasts about 2 hours, and participants leave with a collection of their new works… and maybe some new friends too.
RiverArts is proud to be able to provide this unique opportunity right here in our Rivertowns, an opportunity which is often only accessible to art students or by traveling into New York City, with a significant investment of time and tuition. Drink & Draw offers a perfect entry-level for the amateur artist, and we have seen beginners improve significantly as their skills develop in subsequent sessions and they draw on their experience and learn from others.
Model provided. Please bring your own art supplies and arrive on time.
Must be over 18 to attend. Wine for those 21+

DAWN PAULA - PSYCHIC MEDIUM GALLERY EVENT
2023-09-22 19:00 - 21:00 | Modern Druid,60 S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
THE FIRST GALLERY IN JULY WAS A SELL-OUT SUCCESS! So Dawn has agreed to two more galleries this year, September 22nd and December 8th. We hope you will join us.
If you’ve ever wondered if your loved ones in spirit are still with you, if they are OK, what they may be experiencing, or if they are here with us still, then this is your opportunity to gets answers to those questions, and perhaps even a message of love & hope from them as well.
Dawn will invoke those we love who have crossed over into the light to come forward & offer messages* of love, hope & evidence that they are still very much with us in our everyday lives. She will begin with an introduction and give a brief overview of how spirit communicates through her, followed by 75-90 minutes of spirit connections*. Messages for each person who has a loved one come through for them lasts an average of 7-10 minutes. Not everyone receives a direct message, but if you don’t, you will benefit nonetheless from the experience of the group session by being in spirit with those around you.
* Please note, at this event not everyone is guaranteed a reading/message. Dawn does not decide who will get read for, she leaves it completely up to spirit & chance. If you are hoping to but do not receive a link with a loved one, you can schedule a private sitting with Dawn at Modern Druid every other Thursday.

SHADOW WORK WITH MEGHAN MCSWEENEY
2023-09-27 18:30 - 20:30 | Modern Druid,60 S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
Shadow work facilitates a deep and intimate relationship with your core self, your patterns. These are the woven structures our outward self is created from. It is here that we find the Key to unlock those pieces of ourselves, but first we must find the Torch so we can reveal what is there waiting to be seen.
This two-part class will give you the tools to go deeper and explore your Shadow, learn how to cut away what doesn’t serve you, and how to adapt to the changes within.
Each participant will work with at least one pattern, and through meditation and visualization, we will be able to observe, acknowledge, accept, integrate, and release a personal Shadow or pattern.
Due to the intimate nature of this work, there are only 6 places available… please reserve early.
