The pathway towards awakening wends its way through the depths of our hearts. But our glimpses of the heart are fleeting. Join us to explore how to wake the heart and keep it open, through the powerful avenues of poetry, music, imagery, and text. *"If one learns to listen to the heart, it will tell one things so clearly—what must be done, what must not be done, the real nature of people, places, and things. Only it speaks so quietly, so subtly, and immediately a flood of reactions, explanations, excuses, theories have swamped it, and we do not even recognise it speak. Only listening carefully to what it wants to say, and remaining still until it has spoken, one cannot really do the wrong thing."* \~ Rodney Collin, from *The Theory of Conscious Harmony,* Chapter on *Heart* ***Jennie Hansen*** *is a professional musician and writer who has studied philosophy for 22 years and has been a Director of the Los Angeles Center of the Academy.* ***Banner Image:*** *Mary Magdalene* by He Qi (c.2012)

Published in 1942 by French author Albert Camus, *The Stranger* has long been considered a classic of twentieth-century literature. *Le Monde* ranks it as number one on its "100 Books of the Century" list. Through this story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on a sundrenched Algerian beach, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd."

"The National Institute of Flamenco presents Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company in *Out of Many, One*. The performance showcases five original flamenco works, each representing a distinct process of individuals connecting to a whole: Convergence, Momentum, Inheritance, Embodiment, Reconciliation. In *Elementos,* choreographed by Adrián Santana, earth, air, fire, and water converge as interdependent elements. In Sara Cano’s *Camina,* momentum unifies energy into forward motion. Inheritance links the individual to culture and tradition in invited guest artist Ricardo Moro’s *Marianas*. Embodiment integrates memory, emotion, and identity in an untitled solo work by invited guest artist Adrián Santana (Málaga, Spain), and in Ana Morales' *Taranterias*, reconciliation bridges opposing forces. *Out of Many, One* celebrates unique voices, bodies, and perspectives, bringing them together into a single, resonant experience." Come out and join me for this night of song, music and dance. Yjastros is magical! I'm in my favorite roomy seat in the balcony. \*\*DD120 (\*\*Senior tix is $27) Please note: I don't know the length of the performance time so I'm not sure if it will be over 2 hours. https://my.nmculture.org/43419/53872?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Yjastros

Gals, Guys, Do you have a desire to sing? Have you always wanted to perform? The New MexiChords invites you to attend one of our rehearsals to see what it's like. At our rehearsal, you have a chance to see what it's like to sing four-part harmony with other men and women, and how easy it can be, even without music lessons or formal training.

**MEETING MONTHLY EVERY SECOND Saturday, 3:00 - 4:30 pm, in the Sanctuary, USC ABQ, 9800 Candelaria Road NE, ABQ, 87112** **Welcome to USC Rhythm Connection!** We can't wait to drum with you! Lesley Goddin and John Vandermey facilitate a monthly opportunity to connect through drumming and percussion. This circle is open to all people, whether you have drumming experience or not. And if you don't have your own drum, don't worry -- we have lots of drums and rhythm instruments to borrow during the circle. Other instruments are welcome too. Bring your Native American style flutes, and favorite rhythm instruments with you and share your musical gift! Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment that encourages people to connect with the community through the expression of rhythm. We want to be a safe place for you to explore rhythmic connection and percussive self expression in a gentle way. Being in community involves listening to what’s happening in the group and seeing where you can add to that. Making music together also involves making sure to leave space for others to join in as well. Rhythm is not limited to drumming and percussion! If you are moved to dance, vocalize, play a flute (or another acoustical instrument), or just clap your hands, we encourage that. That adds to the connection possibilities. Sometimes, when the group is in a steady groove, someone will “play up.” That is, they’ll play a little louder, with some flourishes and accents, for a few measures to add a little spice to the experience. This is expected and encouraged. Keep holding that rhythm while they do this, so they know where to come back to. Drumming can be good practice in listening to yourself and to each other and harmonizing what you are contributing with what others are putting into the circle. We’re about building those heart connections in the community. **Fee** This is a free event. Love Offering donations are accepted. If donating through the Church Center app, or the web site, please include a comment for USC Rhythm Connection so the office knows where to place the funds.
