Join us for a workshop experience of deep listening, song and story about everyday abundance in our lives.

We will use theater, musical games, and free writing to craft pieces to share at Friday’s Potluck Performance. Recognizing that essential and vibrant life comes through song & creative expression, this session will awaken our deep senses and joy in the everyday life. Participants will leave with deepened listening skills, insights into making their own new creative work and a refreshed awareness of and connection to the simple beauty in our lives.

So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app Contact : +44 7520 636249‬
