In these times when there is so much noise and chaos coming at us, time to pause and listen fortifies our hearts and our well-being.

Join fellow community members this Saturday at the Richmond Free Library for a new monthly series called, The Art of Listening, co-hosted by the Library and WholeHeart, Inc. Kicking off the series, local artist Mary Hill will guide us in using a variety of fabric, rubber stamps and stencils to explore words, colors and applied images that make us feel a sense of freedom and spaciousness. No artistic experience is needed. Leave your inner critic behind and step in with wonder. This series is in the spirit of the gift economy and we welcome the contribution of your presence and, if possible, financial support towards costs. Please register through the WholeHeart FB page. See you soon!
