Sat, Oct 7, 10am-1pm Beginning Home Mead Making Class
Always wanted to learn to make your own meads at home? Love the idea of giving something yummy and homemade to friends? Scared to mess it up? Then Starrlight Mead has the class for you. You will be taken step by step through making a “cyser” (honey and apple). You will learn how to properly sanitize and about the equipment needed to make a great homemade mead! You will take home your own gallon of mead, made during the class, with instructions on what to do with it when you get home. No mead-making experience is necessary. All class participants must be over 21 – no exceptions. The registration deadline is Sun, Oct 1. $75 for individuals or $100 for couples.
Sat, Oct 21, 10am-1pm Intermediate Home Mead Making – Traditionals: Honey and Yeast
This intermediate class discusses how to make a good, traditional mead. It’s harder than many people think to create an environment that will keep the yeast happy. You’ll start with honey and how the different flavors of varietal honey can impact the flavor of the mead. Participants will be tasting honey, varietal traditional meads, and a yeast experiment to see how the decision of ingredients can impact the finished mead. You’ll also cover yeast nutrients to keep the little “yeasty beasties” happy! All class participants must be over 21 – no exceptions. The registration deadline is Sun, Oct 15. $50 for individuals or $75 for couples.
monthly sound baths
Fridays, 7:30pm-8:30pm, Candleglow Sound Bath Meditation Oct 20, Nov 17, Dec 15
The nighttime sonic ceremony is back by popular demand on the third Friday of each month for a candle-lit evening sound bath featuring a variety of singing bowls, chimes, and percussion accompanying the human voice. Honoring seasonal cycles, Ancient Song Therapy crafts sonic landscapes that are conducive to relaxation and meditation, as well as journey work and integration. RSVP is required. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with [email protected]. This event is $25 per person.
Sun, Nov 5, 12:30pm-1:30pm First Sunday Sound Bath
Every first Sunday, the cathedral-like acoustics in the tasting room of Starrlight Mead bring a sense of reverence and play to these sessions. Think of it like a non-dogmatic sonic church. To attend, please RSVP at [email protected]. Admission for this event is $20. If you are able, please use Venmo (@AncientSongTherapy) or PayPal (paypal.me/AncientSongTherapy) or make other arrangements. This exchange is very much appreciated! Please bring your own yoga mat, cushions, and comfort items.
