Bloom Room - Move, Feel, Connect

### **Move. Feel. Connect** ***An evening for women who are craving something a little more real*** https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bloom-room-feel-move-connect-tickets-1999701096811 (Reserve your spot) Somewhere between work, dating, social media, and trying to keep up with life, many of us have forgotten what it feels like to simply exist No networking, performing, or trying to impress **Just breathing, moving, laughing, and connecting with ourselves** Bloom Room was created for that *Imagine relaxing on cozy blankets beneath the trees, sipping warm tea, listening to soft music in a circle of women who are all looking for the same thing:* * A little more presence, honesty, and more connection No one expects you to have it all together here You don't have to be outgoing or know anyone nor share anything you don't want to Just come as you are ### **You belong here if...** • You've been craving friendships that go a little deeper • You're tired of meeting people through loud bars, networking events, or endless small talk • You miss having space to slow down and listen to yourself • You're curious about movement, creativity, mindfulness, or simply trying something different • You want to leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived ## **What the evening might feel like** We'll begin by slowing down together. From there, every Bloom Room unfolds a little differently: * Some evenings we'll move * Others, we'll create expressive art * Then reflect Some we'll laugh so hard our stomachs hurt The heart of it stays the same: a safe space to be real * Notice what's present * Connect with yourself And maybe leave, having met women who feel a little less like strangers ## **What to expect** 🌿 Gentle movement and breathwork 🍵 Tea and nourishing snacks ✨ Somatic-inspired connection exercises 🎨 Creative or reflective activities 💛 Optional sharing (always optional) 🌸 A welcoming circle of women who are also craving something more real No experience needed, there's nothing to prove ## **The kind of space we're creating** We believe meaningful connection doesn't begin with the perfect conversation. It begins when people feel safe enough to stop performing. Bloom Room is built on kindness, curiosity, respect, and consent. You will never be asked to do anything that doesn't feel right for you. We simply invite you to come with an open mind and a willingness to be present. ## **Bring** • 🍀 A blanket, towel, or mat • 💧 Water, a mug • 👚 Comfortable feminine clothes you can move in • 📒 A journal if you'd like We'll take care of the tea, snacks, supplies and more ## **Contribution** We ask for a contribution to help cover tea, snacks, and materials. If you'd like to support Bloom Room further, you're welcome to contribute whatever feels accessible after the gathering No one will be turned away because of finances **Reserve your spot via:** *https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bloom-room-feel-move-connect-tickets-1999701096811* ## **Before you reserve your spot** Bloom Room isn't about becoming someone new. It's about remembering the version of yourself that feels most alive when you slow down. Come if you're curious, nervous, lonely, or need to reset Leave a little more connected than when you arrived IG [@daretobloomloud](https://www.instagram.com/daretobloomloud/ "https://www.instagram.com/daretobloomloud/")

We’ll cover more chord shapes, basic theory and how it applies to mandolin and look deeper into musical styles. Students should expect to be introduced to scales, arpeggios and how they fit into chords. By the end of eight weeks you should be comfortable playing progressions in a variety of keys and have expanded your ear to begin improvising. To learn more about Steve, please visit [Steve's website](Steveburke.me) or [Steve's Instagram ](Instagram.com/steveburk3). Despite the rising costs and lower funding streams that are affecting cultural institutions, Jalopy still wants to be a home for everyone seeking to learn and develop their musical practice. Therefore, this semester, we are offering the classes based on a sliding scale, inviting each student to choose a price based on their income level. Those of you who can afford to pay more than the breakeven cost, will be making it feasible for Jalopy to give scholarships to those who cannot afford the courses. Please note that these numbers are only suggestions, and you are free to pay what feels manageable and appropriate for you based on all your life's circumstances, not just annual income. As usual, you can inquire and apply for financial aid by emailing [lynette@jalopytheatre.org](mailto:lynette@jalopytheatre.org). **Sliding Scale Chart based on Annual income:** $0 - $20k / year: scholarship (partial or full depending on availability) $20k-$30k / year: $300 $30k - $40k / year: $350 $40k -$50k / year: $400 $50k -70k / year: $450 $70k and up: $500 \*For financial aid and payment plans contact Lynette at Lynette@jalopytheatre.org
