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.

OGHAM WITH MORGANA
2023-09-28 18:30 - 20:00 | Modern Druid,60 S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
Ogham, the mysterious ancient Irish alphabet, is based on a set of characters (feda) that are associated with specific trees and/or plants and is considered to represent an ancient system of knowledge. Most often used today for divination, each letter symbol has specific, and often complicated and multi-faceted, concepts associated with each one. The 20 symbol-letters (‘feda’) are organized across 4 ‘families’ (aicme). Morgana will guide us in learning about each feda and its associated plant every other week over the course of a year. You can sign up for one class, an Aicme (5) or all 20!
We will learn where Ogham originated, how to pronounce and write the feda, and utilize plant matter, teas, poetry, art, historical lore, guided meditations and of course the Ogham Intention Oils, to integrate us with each plant’s healing essence.
Focusing on the 3rd Aicme, Muine, for the fall, the following classes are offered:
– Muin (M), Ivy: Love, Self-Esteem, Trickery – Sept 14th
– Gort (G), Vine: Growth, Blessings & Prosperity – Sept 28th
– nGétal (nG), Fern: Healing (Emotionally & Physically) – Oct 12th
– Straif (Sr), Blackthorn: Transformation, Alchemy and Practical Magic – Oct 26th
– Ruis (R), Elder: Passion and Sexuality – November 9th
(20% discount for Students, OAPs, Veterans, Persons with Disabilities, call for details)

Dostoyevsky’s CRIME and PUNISHMENT: Thu Sep 28, 2023 – Sun Oct 1, 2023 @ 7:30pm
For modern audiences, imagine a 19th century Tony Soprano named Raskolnikov who fancies himself above the law – entitled to such an extent that he may decide who is worthy of life and of death. But that all ends when he meets his match in Inspector Porfiry, a master of mind games who is determined to elicit a confession from the ever-more-demented Raskolnikov.
A new stage adaptation by Marilyn Campbell and Curt Columbus.
Directed by Karen Case Cook.
Often spoken of as the greatest crime story ever written, it is a tale of murder, motive and redemption that plumbs the depths of the human soul.
For modern audiences, imagine a 19th century Tony Soprano named Raskolnikov who fancies himself above the law – entitled to such an extent that he may decide who is worthy of life and of death. But that all ends when he meets his match in Inspector Porfiry, a master of mind games who is determined to elicit a confession from the ever-more-demented Raskolnikov.
A taut thrilling adaptation that compresses all the tension and pathos of the novel into a powerful 90 minutes of theater that is at once fresh and faithful to the original.
The Phoenix Festival is an annual celebration of arts and culture with live, indoor and outdoor performances in Nyack, led by Audelco and the award-winning Phoenix Theatre Ensemble. www.liveartsinnyack.com
