Start: 2026-03-14T11:00:00-04:00
Location: The Space

The Space

This is a guided meditation and creative workshop inviting you to meet your spirit animal and bring it to life through art.  Journey inward, then express what you receive.
This guided workshop begins with a gentle grounding practice and a guided journey designed to help you connect with your spirit animal – an inner guide that reflects your instincts, strengths, and wisdom.  No prior experience with meditation or art is necessary.
Following the journey, you’ll translate what you received into form through sketching, collage, and markers.  This is not about artistic skill, but about expression, curiosity, and allowing what emerged to take shape on the page.

The Wellmont Theater

Back in 2004, four lifelong musicians got together down in Florida. Even though they had traveled separate paths, similar lessons learned, wisdom earned, and dues paid united these gentlemen—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—as Alter Bridge. Over the ensuing two decades, the band endured countless trials and tribulations, defied every odd, and rose to the head of the pack as a hard rock juggernaut, cementing a singular legacy by selling out arenas, gathering nearly 1 billion streams, inciting international acclaim, and quietly attracting a diehard audience. Beginning with the Top 5 entry of 2004’s gold-certified One Day Remains, the band have scored six consecutive Top 20 debuts on the Billboard 200.

A bi-weekly gathering for men to explore conscious masculinity and supportive brotherhood.
Through open dialogue, mindfulness, and somatic practices, we quiet the mind and drop into a safe space where we can deepen our connection to ourselves and each other.
The meetings are hosted by mindfulness coach, teacher, and dad, Leo A. Sante and special guests.
We start by sharing our wins and challenges, honoring each voice without judgment or advice.
Then we dive into practices like drumming, meditation, and music to help us release stress, shift perspectives, and cultivate awareness and resilience.
Together, we explore themes of trust, vulnerability, family, rest, intimacy, and presence — discovering new ways to move through the world as men.

Alzheimer’s New Jersey® will host its annual Walk to Fight Alzheimer’s® on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at South Mountain Reservation in West Orange. The event will begin at the Clipper Pavilion and bring the community together to raise awareness and funds for programs supporting individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.
Day-of registration will open at 9:00 a.m. followed by a kick-off rally at 10:00 a.m. The walk will officially begin at 10:30 a.m. Participants will enjoy a scenic walk around the Orange Reservoir. There will be music, entertainment, refreshments, and door prizes.
Funds raised from the event will support Alzheimer’s New Jersey® programs, including a statewide Helpline, family support groups, community and caregiver education and the Respite Care and Wellness program. These services provide essential guidance, emotional support, and relief for caregivers navigating the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. 
“We invite everyone to walk with us. There will be lots of energy and fun,” said Ken Zaentz, President and CEO of Alzheimer’s New Jersey®. “More than 600,000 people in New Jersey are affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Families rely on Alzheimer’s New Jersey® for personal and confidential assistance, education, and support. As the number of families impacted continues to grow, community support is more important than ever.”
As part of Essex County’s Essex Cares program, Alzheimer’s New Jersey® will offer event attendees a special benefit on the day of the walk only. With proof of participation, attendees will receive $5 admission each to the Turtle Back Zoo, Mini Safari Golf, and Codey Arena.
There is no fee to register for the walk; however, fundraising is strongly encouraged and vital to sustaining the organization’s programs. All registered walkers will receive a promotional item the day of the event, and those who raise $75 or more will receive a complimentary event t-shirt. Dogs are welcome, provided they are leashed.
