CACAO CEREMONY WITH MASHA
2023-09-15 18:30 - 21:00 | Modern Druid,60 S Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960, USA
A Cacao Ceremony is a beautiful opportunity to gather in circle, receive inner guidance, and connect deeper to ourselves and each other. 100% Pure Ceremonial Grade Cacao is a sacred and ancient plant medicine for the heart that helps us open up, heal gently, and invite more creativity, joy and love into our lives.
During the ceremony we will join in circle, connect with each other, learn about the power of Ceremonial Cacao, talk about the energies of this time, set intentions and drink Cacao, go through a guided Shamanic drum journey, and then come back to a sharing circle of whatever may be opening up for us in that moment. (Sharing is very welcome, but not mandatory).
By setting an intention and drinking Ceremonial Cacao, participants can expect to receive guidance about whatever they are dealing with and/or receive messages they are ready for.

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.
