Friday night at Phases of the Moon (The Unity Gathering)
In the heart of the nationās capital, Gordon Sterling and The People, a Soul/Funk, Blues/Rock ensemble, have carved a prominent presence, regularly captivating audiences to sold-out performances.
Central to their music is Gordonās effervescent energy, soulful voice, and deeply introspective lyrics based on his lived experiences. The band is, also, a vessel for Gordon to craft waves of awareness around the experiences and perspectives of being Black in America.
From a visionary dream at the age of 15, Jamaican American Gordon Sterling received a call to awaken humanity to aspects of themselves forgotten, through the power of music. Embracing this mission wholeheartedly, Gordon embarked on a musical voyage that has spanned over 25 years, establishing his prowess as a revered singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
If you like artists such as Gary Clark Junior, Michael Kiwanuka, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Lettuce, and Galactic, then you donāt want to miss Gordon Sterling and The People! Gordon has shared stages with heavyweights such as Warren Haynes, Karl Denson, Derek Trucks Band, Blues Traveler, The Wailers, and Soulive just to name a few.
Gordon Sterling and The People are set to hit the road in support of their greatly anticipated second full length album called āOne Crow Shy of a Murderā, which is slated for release on July, 25th.
Check them out anywhere you listen to music.

Letās talk about activism.
I asked one of my teachers, Dr Theresa, to give this talk bc she is a true peaceful warrior. She stands up for herself and others and is one of the most centered, humble, gracious beings Iāve ever had the pleasure to know.
Dr Theresa has been in my life for more than a decade and has guided me through love and loss. She stands for truth and equality. She walks the walk she talks so I thought it would be great if she was invited to speak on the many faces of activism. More than protests and marches but day to day steps to creating a better world.
I hope youāll visit with her Saturday morning at Phases of the Moon (The Unity Gathering).

The more crazy shit I see in the world the more grateful I am for this. For safe spaces. For wholesome spaces. For sober spaces where families can come and be welcomed into an immersive experience in art, music, movement, and play.
I taught preschool for most of my life. 25 years. And I am dedicated to creating space where we can explore our inner child and keep childhood alive for all the small humans who attend these gatherings.
Kids have always been my why.
At Phases of the Moon (The Unity Gathering) we have family friendly activities available all day from swings to bubbles to art and even a kid tent.
One child (ages 5-15) is included with each adult pass and there is no charge for kids under 5.
Kid friendly workshops include drum circles, song circles, acro yoga, yoga, dance, and more!
We're just big kids here. Come play!

How many drum circles? Howās one/day sound?
Tony DelPiano is a percussionist with a passion for improvisational collaborative drumming. He likes to initiate high energy rhythms that evoke a euphoric flow state, where the drummers, dancers, and fire unite to create healing frequencies that allow you to lose yourself in the moment.
What to expect? A classic improvisational jazzy drum circle. Beats will generally be in 4-4 timing. Tony will lead the rhythms, and instruction will be provided where needed. While some drums will be supplied, please bring your own drum if you have one. All percussion instruments are welcome.

Majik Mike has been part of my life and gatherings for a long time as a friend, mentor and wisdom carrier. We met at Beardfest 15 years ago, him connecting the dots of our family connection and graciously welcoming me into his space. During the time Iāve known him, heās been a trusted ally, truth teller, and guide, coming to support events on my space in roles from MC, consultant and treasured guest and inviting me into his life and home for deep talks and reality checks.
This year at Phases of the Moon, Mike will be leading a late night fire talk. Long talks about deeply personal matters have been a hallmark of our gatherings and weāre grateful to have a led talk by Mikeās grounded wisdom. Blow your Mind, Open your Heart, Teach your Soul is a deep soul dive you wonāt want to miss.

Kevin Hill is a rare talent... a soulful vocalist, a world class jazz/rock guitarist and a witty, meaningful, and deeply introspective lyricist.
Forged by the jazz organ groups of the Newark, NJ school of musical hard knocks and given rainbow luminescence by the spiritual awakening of the Grateful Dead, Santana and Phish, Hill brings the best of the improvised music tradition to every performance.
A devoted father and an advocate for mental health and substance abuse awareness, the intention behind Hillās music is to help and to heal.
