Hart Medicine (Men's Circle at 3PM) - For those standing at the edge of change, tending to grief, or remembering who they are beneath the noise, Hart offers a grounded and compassionate space to unfold. His sessions invite presence, honesty, and trust in the intelligence of the soul—meeting each person exactly where they are, with warmth and steadiness.

Hart will be offering a men’s circle - The Father’s Council for Fathers, fathers to be, and grandfathers, we invite you to join us for a Father's Council.

 There is something about men sitting together in a circle that can feel both unfamiliar and deeply remembered, as though it has been etched into our bones. For generations, men gathered in this way to share their lives, support one another, and pass on the wisdom that can only be earned through lived experience. Fatherhood was never meant to be walked alone.

Fatherhood is one of the greatest initiations a man can experience. It asks more of us than perhaps any other role in life. Along the way it brings joy, love, wonder, and purpose, while also stirring fear, uncertainty, overwhelm, frustration, grief, and self doubt. Every father carries both gifts and burdens.

The Father's Council is an opportunity to come together in authentic brotherhood. We will sit in circle, open our hearts, and share what is alive within us as we explore the path of fatherhood together. We will speak honestly, listen deeply, and discover the wisdom that naturally emerges when men gather with presence, humility, and care.

This circle welcomes you exactly as you are. Not as the perfect father, but as an imperfect man doing the best he can. Already enough, and still growing. Whether you are expecting your first child, raising young children, or watching your grandchildren grow, your presence matters and your story belongs here.

We believe it is not only valuable but necessary for fathers to gather in community. Together we remember that we are not alone, and that the wisdom we seek often lives not only within ourselves, but in the hearts of other fathers walking the same path.

We hope you will join us in the circle.

Rick & Barb (Live Music) - Rick and Barb met in the late 1970s. Barb was singing and playing a Fender Rhodes keyboard, while Rick was singing, playing guitar, and writing original material. After they married, music remained a part of their lives; however, it took a back seat to their family as they raised their two children.  

Now that their kids have grown and have families of their own, they've been able to focus once again on their music. Barb has taken up the mandolin, and Rick focuses on creating original arrangements of favorite tunes from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and on.  Their favorite part of the music they create is their vocal harmonies.
