October(back to top of page)

Ben Broderick has been playing guitar in the Eastern Connecticut since the late nineties, mostly as a solo artist in coffee shops and open mics. Although he's performed in multiple bands on the electric guitar, his emphasis is on original acoustic guitar compositions, instrumental pieces performed finger-style and in a variety of tunings. He starts somewhere around country-blues and goes astray from there, touching on folk and almost getting to classical. Whatever the style, however, his music is marked by strong, natural melodies, flowing rhythms and an unmistakable mood for each song. Copies of his CD "Jog Play"! will be on hand.

Meditation For Inner Peace - - Beginners Welcome!

Weekly talk and guided meditation led by spiritual teacher Bob Crawford. Come explore the many facets of meditation and learn how to open new doors of consciousness. Each week brings us new oportunities to grow, but each week also brings us new challenges, some of which can push us out of alignment with our inner selves. Learn to quiet your mind through meditation and begin hearing the voice of your inner spirit.

In addition to group discussions led by Bob, the class will use written and recorded material from a variety of meditation teachers and sources.
Our weekly meditations are open to all, from the just curious to the experienced. Whether you are just beginning to practice meditation, or you already have a comfortable meditation practice, we invite you to come and experience something different this week!

4th Thursday Evenings of each month 7 pm 
A Men's Circle - Gatherings for the Male Journey
Started by Alan Lopez, this meetingorganized the group. We continually explore our group's intensiojn to be in unity in a time that try men's souls. Perhaps, as in no previous era have we men found ourselves facing such vital challenges: both inward and outward. We are confronted with critical questions:
What it is to be a man? What is the direction of our journey? and above all - What trustworthy resources are available along the way?
In our gatherings we will explore, share, and support each other to act on these and other questions that live in our souls. We will have the opportunity to step out of the awful, invisible isolation that marks the lives of so many of us into a confidential community of peers.

This is an ongoing Men's Circle started last year by Alan Lopez, PhD. Alan maintained a private psychotherapy practice in CT for nearly 20 years and has led numerous workshops on men's issues and founded several long running men's groups. He is the author of "Passion and Purpose in Men's Lives".
