Dawn Avery In Concert
Saturday, February 27th
8:00-9:00 EST
Virtual concert on ZOOM. Tickets available through Eventbrite. Due to security concerns, the Zoom ID and password will be emailed to attendees approximately one day to the event.
Grammy-nominated world musician, Dawn Avery explores the relationship between music and spirituality, having been privileged to work with luminaries Luciana Pavarotti, Sting, Reza Derakshani, John Cage, the Dalai Lama, Ron Young, Baba Catalkaya and Tawen’te:se, among others. Honoring both the community and its space as sacred, she fosters intercultural and spiritual freedom by creating multi-media concert ceremonies and directing a world music program and festival. Dawn shares contemporary soundscapes often referred to as mystic pop that contain spiritual, pop and classical elements reflecting a deep devotion rooted in her Native American heritage and Sufi experience.
She has led meditation and music workshops and concerts at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, Esalen Institute, Open Center, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre and the Kennedy Center. Dawn looks for opportunities to make a positive difference through art and community. Her personable style engages audiences around the world.
Last year’s Spring Event was held virtually, and this one will be also. Like many places, we’re on the verge of re-opening but not quite there.
So we’re inviting you to help support the Men’s Home with one last Zoomed fundraiser. We’ll hold this year’s event on Saturday, June 12th from 8:00 to 9:00 PM EST.
We’ll start at 8:00 but open up the room at 7:30. You can come hang out, say hello and maybe see some friends that you’ve missed at other meetings. Then at 8:00, we’ll enjoy our featured speaker, Steven T. from Wisconsin, for tales of experience, strength and hope from the Badger State.
You’ll be able to donate during the meeting. We’ll have links posted to our Paypal and Venmo addresses:

We hope that you can join us on Saturday, June 12th from 8:00 to 9:00PM. For security purposes, the ZOOM link is in the flyer. If you’d like to download it, just click the button below.
