Climate change, super storms, rising sea levels, large-scale pollution—do these problems seem large, looming, intractable? If you’re feel vulnerable, dis-empowered, or burnt-out, you’re not alone: eco-anxiety, climate grief, and other climate feelings are shared by many people who are paying attention to the climate crisis. Addressing these heavy feelings in community can be a way of generating the personal resilience needed to cope with an uncertain future. Waterspirit hosts and online eco-anxiety peer support group using the Good Grief Network’s “10 Steps to Personal Resilience and Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate” method. Waterspirit's Spring 2024 group will run on Tuesdays from 2/6/24 to 4/23/24 from 2-4 p.m. ET. For more information email: Water@waterspirit.org

On Sunday, April 28th, Musicians on a Mission will host the MONEY, CASH, and DOUGH - OPEN MIC & FOOD DRIVE at the Belmar Arts Center.
Guest hosts will be Kevin Spyker & Jen Clemens.
Kevin and Jen have chosen a great theme “Money, Cash and Dough” for this month’s open mic, which means you should do at least TWO songs that have to do with the theme, plus one more song (cover or original). This means that you will sing at least two songs that have to do with money. We'd love to hear someone tackle, Money Changes Everything by Cyndi Lauper or the Flying Lizards’ version of Money (That’s What I Want). Maybe try, Silver Threads and Golden Needles or Material Girl or Take the Money and Run by the Steve Miller Band. You decide on three good songs and we'll listen. Just keep it at 12 minutes or under!There will be a grand finale song, “Heart of Gold” by the Neil Young for everyone to share at the end of the event. Video with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFQ1NV3deIE
Support for other performers is a priority for MOAM, so please show up early and stay late to sing the finale with everyone.
Admission is $5 donation at the door or $3 with two non-perishable food donations. Proceeds to benefit FULFILL – the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties and the Belmar Arts Center. http:/fulfillnj.org/ https://www.belmararts.org/
