Virginia Humanities 50th Anniversary Celebration @ Wolf Trap
We are so sad to say that this event has been canceled. As a result of unprecedented, and arbitrary cuts in Federal Arts and Humanities funding, Virginia Humanities (and state humanities councils around the country) lost a huge portion of their funding for programming and operating expenses. As a result, this amazing celebration had to be cancelled. We very much hope that we will be able to re-program this event in the near future. In the meantime, Virginia Humanities, who has been a long time supporter and funder of our work, is still holding on, and we dearly hope that they will rise out of this crisis stronger than ever. If you would like to support the very important, life changing work of Virginia Humanities, please click on this link to donate.

Our good friends Betty and Tach are a wealth of inspiration, people that we highly respect and cherish. They have built not only their homes with their bare hands, with this amazing natural building technique called ‘Cob’ building. They have also helped so many others over the years, learn how to shelter their families and build communities with this beautiful natural building technique! They lead, by example the beautiful life that so many of us aspire to— to live lightly on the land and do good! We can’t wait to play a home concert for them with our girls.
