Spirits Wake

An exploration of movement, music, and meditation in nature

September 20 – October 22, 2022

“My music is the spiritual expression of what I am – my faith, my knowledge, my being. When you begin to see the possibilities of music, you desire to do something really good for people, to help humanity free itself from its hang-ups.”
— John Coltrane

Ars Nova Workshop, Bartram’s Garden, and Spirits Up! are collaborating to host Spirits Wake, a series of free outdoor yoga and mindfulness sessions paired with live music. Join us for an exploration of movement, music, and meditation while paying homage to the foundational forces in Black Liberation Music.
