Led by the vibrant Alexander Shelley, our visiting friends from the National Arts Centre Orchestra promise an unforgettable evening!! https://nac-cna.ca/en/orchestra Experience the brilliance of Jean-Yves Thibaudet in Saint-Saëns’s sparkling “Egyptian” Concerto, paired with **Beethoven’s groundbreaking “Eroica” Symphony,** a stirring testament to resilience and the human spirit. One of Beethoven's most celebrated works, the ***Eroica*** (Heroic) symphony is a large-scale composition that marked the beginning of the composer's innovative "middle period. Composed in 1803....the dawn of the Romantic era. Beethoven’s music is characterized by large dynamic spans, from barely audible to dead-rousing, mirroring the full spectrum of the human experience—joy, sorrow, triumph, and despair. It is introspective and complex, yet accessible, and has remained a staple of concert halls across the globe for centuries. During the 2025/26 season, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will present **six of Beethoven’s symphonies**, spread across orchestras and venues. **Ticket link here**-- Use this promo code for 15% off: **TORONTOISCULTURE** https://www.tso.ca/concerts-and-events/events/national-arts-centre-orchestras-eroica Promo spot is at the top of the page, right side.

This is not just a money class. This is a restoration space. The I AM Worthy of Ownership™ Path is a 12-step, sister-centered journey for women who are ready to build financial stability without shame, fear, or pressure—and to do it in a way that honors both wisdom and the spirit. Many women don’t struggle with money because they lack discipline or intelligence. They struggle because of unhealed experiences, survival patterns, and the quiet belief that they are “behind” or “disqualified.” This series gently challenges those beliefs while offering practical tools for peace, clarity, and long-term planning. Together, we will talk honestly about: Releasing shame and money anxiety Building stability as a form of self-respect and spiritual discipline Understanding money as a tool, not a source of worth Managing debt with clarity instead of condemnation Preparing for life’s unexpected moments without fear Laying a calm foundation for future ownership and legacy Each session blends practical financial education with reflection, conversation, and encouragement. There is no pressure to share personal numbers or experiences. You are welcome to speak, journal quietly, or simply listen. This is not about hustle. This is not about perfection. This is about alignment, wisdom, and peace. Who this series is for: Women who are starting over or rebuilding Women who want stability without stress Women preparing for future ownership or housing decisions Women who want their financial lives to reflect wholeness, not fear No prior financial knowledge is required. Come as you are. Bring a notebook. Leave a little lighter than you arrived. Light refreshments will be served along with 30 minutes of networking.

Join us for The Fisherman by John Langan. In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
