Marble Collegiate Church

Matt Grace, a transformational recovery expert who has devoted his life to helping people break free from addiction and reclaim their future and author of the forthcoming book, God Doesn’t Relapse: Sex, Drugs, and the Life that Almost Killed Me, will speak as part of “Inspired Conversations with…” Marble Collegiate Church’s new series featuring notable thought leaders, on Thursday, May 7, 6 p.m. in the historic Sanctuary at 1 W. 29th Street in New York City.
With more than 20 years of sobriety, a bachelor’s degree in Addiction Studies with a focus on Integrative Healing and more than 10,000 hours mentoring individuals and families, Grace has become a trusted guide to both the highly privileged and the deeply overlooked. He is also the founder of Saving Grace,a practice designed to help families navigate the painful intersection of generational wealth and generational wounds.
God Doesn’t Relapse is a raw, unflinching memoir of addiction, redemption and the faith that turned a man’s worst mistakes into a life of purpose. The $10 admission includes his book, which will be mailed to attendees after it is published in August.

For thousands of years, the principles and practice of T’ai Chi Chuan have been helping people to release tension, regain their health, and experience more of their full potential.

Every child should know what it feels like to dance

Tutu School Chelsea

Tutu School exists to make space in the lives of children, 6 months to 8 years old, for creativity and joy. We do one thing – provide very young students with a magical introduction to ballet – and we focus all of our energy on doing that one thing in the highest quality manner possible. This means that every aspect of your child’s experience at Tutu School- from the sparkling spaces to the smiling faces – has been specifically tailored to the needs of even the tiniest dancers. Our carefully crafted curriculum was designed by dance professionals and developmental specialists to ensure that precisely the right amount of ballet technique is being introduced to students at exactly the right time, and not any earlier than their little bodies and young imaginations are ready for it. Importantly, our Tutu teachers receive thoughtful training in our curriculum and in the best ways to support young dancers, whatever their age, developmental stage, or level of experience. We believe in introducing students to ballet in a way that makes sense for their bodies and their development, but that also nurtures their creativity and love of music and movement. We want to cultivate an appreciation of the arts and to provide students with a solid technical foundation to study ballet more seriously later on (if they choose), but more importantly, to give them the kind of formative early enrichment experience that will serve them well in whatever dreams they follow later on.
