In response to popular demand, the church has renewed its “Wellness Wednesdays at TCC” series, which features a variety of different activities aimed at addressing the mind, body and spirit. They include meditation classes and gentle yoga sessions, as well as creative workshops such as mandala painting with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmandalasbymichelle?stkn=MTlxZnpwamY5YjAzZQ%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Mindful Mandalas By Michelle</a> and flower arranging with <a href="https://bloomncompany.com/collections/fresh-flowers?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAdGRleAUiygxleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAmZkaWQWUPG-mAcPP_hebnTV0re7zLodbKafe3NydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp6cYxjOzA71_74YESvFsgNJ2-vLolmQCNbBXuk1EzgwpqsINmxUQFbe5FIMj_aem_Y3mWrBXhnYg20wnVjkQIPQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bloom &amp; Co.</a> There’s even a community cookie swap for the holiday season.
The secular programs, which are scheduled through December 16, take place at the church at 3115 Reservoir Avenue and are open to all members of the community, with no prior experience required for any of the activities.
“The overall objective of this series is to enable participants to take a pause, unwind and connect with one another,” says Kirsten Nestro, a Trauma-informed Certified Instructor in Mindfulness Meditation who will again be leading four of the sessions. “By giving attendees the chance to relax, learn and be creative, we hope they will leave feeling lighter and refreshed.”
The sessions, which all begin at 6 p.m., will run either one or two hours and cost between $10 and $65, depending on the activity.

About the Artists
Baritone Sidney Outlaw has been described by The Washington Post as a "generous &amp; expressive singer", The New York Times as a "terrific singer" with a "deep rich timber," and an internationally acclaimed vocalist for his "weighty and forthright" singing (San Francisco Chronicle). Since winning the Concurso International de Canto Montserrat Caballe in 2010, he has performed widely in the US and abroad. In the 2024/2025 season, Sidney performed recitals with pianist Warren Jones at the Brooklyn Art Song Society and The Manhattan School of Music. He debuted with the California Symphony, singing Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, and with the Bozeman Symphony, singing Mozart's Requiem. He also returned to the Jacksonville Symphony for Handel's Messiah. On the operatic stage, he reprises the role of Mozart in Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni with Pensacola Opera and Opera Philadelphia. Last year, Sidney released his album, Black Pierrot, featuring music by William Grant Still and Dr. B.E. Boykin, including the world premiere of 26 Ways of Looking at a Black Man, with text by poet Raymond Patterson (Commissioned by Merola Opera), which was recently nominated for a Grammy award. Sidney’s recent highlights include performances with Boston Baroque, Chattanooga Symphony, Toledo Opera, National Symphony and appearances at NYC’s Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall. He currently holds voice faculty positions at the Manhattan School of Music, The Conservatory at Brooklyn College (CUNY) and Teachers College, Columbia University, where he is pursuing his PhD in Music Education.&nbsp;
Piotr Kozlowski is a versatile Polish pianist and educator with a strong focus on chamber and contemporary music. He is deeply committed to creative programming and to presenting classical and contemporary repertoire. A laureate of chamber music and solo piano competitions, Piotr has performed widely across Europe and North America. He studied at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw and completed his doctoral degree in piano performance at the Frost School of Music, University of Miami, where he also served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant under the mentorship of Kevin Kenner. As an Erasmus scholarship recipient, he studied chamber music with Avedis Kouyoumdjian at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. He held fellowships at the Bowdoin International Music Festival and the Lunenburg Academy of Music Performance. Now based in New York City, Piotr maintains an active international freelance career. He has premiered works by Jonathan Howard Katz, Donald Scott Stinson, and other living composers. He serves as Staff Pianist at Manhattan School of Music, Piano Mentor at tonebase and has an affinity for Baroque, Classical and 20th-century repertoire.
