The Therapeutic Mic
This is more than your typical open mic. There's no competing and no performing for applause. It's a chance to share a piece that speaks to Falling into Truth in whatever form feels right to you: a poem, excerpt from a book---perhaps yours, song, dance, story, scene, visual art, or a few honest words. Eleven slots of 4 minutes each. Any art form is welcomed: writing, song, dance, visual art, thetre, and more. This is a space for all and is not meant to be catered to only artists. Sign-up in person or by email. First come first served.

Closing Words + Wrap-Up
While we end the night in deep thought, feel good moments and reflection, it usually caters to the desire to continue connecting.
