September 27 - October 25 | 10 – 11:30am A five-week meditation courseMost of us live like a balloon blown about by the wind — up when things go well, down when they don't. We chase happiness out there, trying to control people, outcomes and circumstances that were never really ours to control. The exhaustion of that effort is anxiety itself.

Meditation offers a different way — not escape, but the building of an inner life so stable that the winds of daily life simply cannot knock us over.
Over five Sunday mornings, we will be guided through practical techniques taken from traditional Kadampa Buddhist sources to help you find lasting peace from within.
What you'll discover: * How to stop fighting what you cannot change and find genuine relief * Practical tools for working with stress, expectations and painful emotions * The profound healing power of meditation and mantra — available to you right now
Taught by meditation teacher, Jennifer DeSantis

During the teachings on this simple but effective practice, our Kadampa Buddhist Teacher, Jen DeSantis, will illuminate the purification practice of Buddha Vajrasattva following the sadhana Meditation and Recitation of Solitary Vajrasattva. This skillful and creative practice allows us to connect with the natural potential of our mind, to heal our past, and to free ourselves from old, painful habits of thinking and behaving. Through purifying our mind gradually we experience a wonderful lightness and inner freedom. We are then free to live a life based on wisdom and love, to experience a truly joyful heart and to become the person we really wish to be.

Spirit Animal

Vintage glamour, timeless music, comedy and storytelling collide in a charming cabaret filled with wit, mischief and musical surprises.
An Evening with Toots McApplesauce: Only Slightly Misbehaving
Vintage glamour. Timeless songs. Sassy comedy. And only slightly bad behavior.
Step into the wonderfully unpredictable world of Toots McApplesauce for Only Slightly Misbehaving, a vintage-inspired musical comedy cabaret where old Hollywood elegance meets a gloriously wandering train of thought.
Toots is an elegant society lady—or at least that’s the plan. With classic songs, jazz standards, original musical parody, character comedy, storytelling, and playful audience interaction, she attempts to maintain her dignity while her junk-drawer brain has other ideas. Between the music, memories, and whatever she came into the room to say, the evening has a habit of wandering delightfully off course.
Behind Toots is Susan Sassi, a Los Angeles-based vocalist, actor, comedy writer, and cabaret performer whose work combines vintage entertainment with sharp contemporary humor. A graduate of Point Park Conservatory’s Musical Theatre program, Susan has also trained with UCB, iO, Second City, and the Walnut Street Theatre Acting Apprenticeship. Her work has appeared at Visionarium Live, Don’t Tell Mama, and venues and community programs throughout Southern California and the East Coast.
For this special evening at Spirit Animal, Susan will perform Only Slightly Misbehaving as an approximately one-hour cabaret, followed by a short break. She’ll then return for a second set featuring jazz and Great American Songbook standards, for a full evening of live entertainment.
Whether you love classic jazz, vintage cabaret, character comedy, or simply appreciate a woman desperately trying to keep an evening classy, Only Slightly Misbehaving promises music, laughter, glamour, and just the right amount of mischief.
<h2>The Venue</h2>
Spirit Animal, located inside Hotel Zoso in downtown Palm Springs, is Take Five’s premium live entertainment venue—reimagined as a retro-inspired nightlife destination. Featuring state-of-the-art sound and lighting, a full bar, comfortable seating, and a non-smoking environment, Spirit Animal was built for intimate, high-quality live entertainment experiences.
<h2>Event Details</h2>
Doors open at 6 PM | Show starts at 7 PM
General Admission seating
<ul><li>Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis</li><li>Seats will be held until showtime; please arrive early</li><li>Full bar available</li><li>Paid valet parking available, plus free street parking nearby</li><li>Tickets are non-refundable</li></ul>
Our shows frequently sell out, so advance tickets are strongly recommended. General Admission seating is first come, first served, and arriving early is encouraged to settle in, grab a cocktail, and enjoy the room before the show.
