Garden Stage Presents The
YaYas & Honor Finnegan In Concert |

Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Central Nassau |
| 223
Stewart Ave, Garden City NY |

Friday, February 3, 2012 - 8:30 pm |

| |
| 2011
Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Finalists The YaYas are a
spirited and uplifting New York-based folk pop trio who tell stories
in songs that make you think and sometimes laugh – decidedly
hope-filled tunes with choruses that get you singing along. These
are stories we are all familiar with; the loss of a parent, the
humorous ups and downs of a marriage, the dreams of youth, the gift
of friendship… all told in a very personal way through the
characters that inhabit them. Catherine Miles’ expressive
voice is complemented by husband Jay Mafale’s percussive
guitar riffs and Paul Silverman’s melodic piano lines to
create their distinctive sound. The trio’s 2010 release, Paper
Boats, has received airplay on more than 125 radio stations and rose
to #4 on the Roots Music Report’s Folk Top 50 albums chart. |
| |
| Honor
Finnegan is the Susan Boyle of quirky indie folk, only hotter. A
relative new comer, Honor has been making a splash in the regional
folk scene with her original songs and ukulele playing. Combining
elements of musical theatre, comedy, traditional folk, and poetry,
Honor is cooler than the other side of the pillow. |
| |
| Honor is
pleased as punch to be the featured artist in Richard Cuccaro's
Acoustic Live this month. Richard wrote a lovely article, and took
some fine pictures.

| Join our
new book discussion group by the noted religious historian, Karen
Armstrong. We will explore a work by the noted religious historian,
Karen Armstrong. |
| |
| More than
a book study group, Karen Armstrong recommends at the end of each
group introducing one regular practice into each member’s life “...
ways in which your actions can become a dynamic and positive force
for change, not just within yourself but in the world around you… |
| |
| Karen
Armstrong believes that while compassion is intrinsic in all human
beings, each of us needs to work diligently to cultivate and expand
our capacity for compassion. In Twelve Steps to a Compassionate
Life, Armstrong offers concrete ways of putting compassion into
action in our everyday lives. |
| |
| Explore
and develop twelve new habits that should be effecting a
transformation within yourself and your immediate environment. |

| Dreaming:
Opening the Door to More Conscious Living |
|
sponsored by The
Unitarian Universalist Ocean County Congregation |
| 734
Route 37 W, Toms River NJ |
| |
| March
30 & March 31, 2012 |
| |
| Everyone
dreams, whether remembered or not. All dreams come for our
individual and collective health and wholeness. The symbolic and
metaphoric language of dreams is universal. |
| |
|
Understanding the language of dreams can be learned, and in this
workshop we'll explore a safe group process to do so. When we have
access to our dreams we have the possibility of a new perspective on
our confusing emotions, our relationships (in our family, workplace
and society), and our spiritual lives. What inspires us? What
stimulates our creative energies? Where do we really want to focus
our energies as we search for wholeness? |
| |
| Jeremy
Taylor, D.Min., is a Unitarian Universalist minister, writer, visual
artist, and community organizer. He has been a dream worker and
researcher for more than four decades--long enough for him to be one
of the four original co-founders of the International Association
for the Study of Dreams. His four books on dream work and archetypes
have been translated into several languages. He follows after them,
traveling the world to teach about the dream, promoting group
projective dream work. He teaches at various seminaries,
universities and colleges, and is the founder/director of the Marin
Institute for Projective Dream Work, which provides training and
certification for professional dream workers. In addition, he blogs
on dreams for Psychology Today magazine. |
