Common Fence Point Arts, Wellness, and Community Center

Join Drumsinger A. Michelle and Russell Kramer for an immersive and relaxing sound experience featuring singing bowls, gongs, drums, and chimes. Admission is $30 and attendees are encouraged to bring what they need to be comfortable on the floor for this 90-minute restorative session.&nbsp;
Come&nbsp;treat yourself to a sound journey like no other. Let the powerful&nbsp;resonance of the gongs carry you into a dreamlike state of relaxation&nbsp;and inner clarity. As waves of sound wash over you, many find that&nbsp;tension softens, the mind quiets, and the body naturally returns to a&nbsp;peaceful, balanced baseline. Settle&nbsp;in as drums, bells, and singing bowls open the space and guide you&nbsp;gently inward. The gongs then take you on a transformative&nbsp;journey—vibrational, expansive, and deeply restorative—before chimes and ocean drums&nbsp;welcome you back, played intuitively and created just for you&nbsp;in the moment.
No&nbsp;two gong baths are ever the same. Each experience is shaped by the time&nbsp;of year, celestial rhythms, and the collective energy of those present,&nbsp;allowing the sound to unfold uniquely every time. Participants&nbsp;typically rest lying on their backs on a mat or relax in a comfortable&nbsp;chair. You remain fully clothed; no water is involved. The “bath” refers&nbsp;to an enveloping wash of sound. For maximum comfort, please bring a&nbsp;mat, blanket, and pillow. 
This&nbsp;experience offers a powerful opportunity for meditation and deep&nbsp;relaxation—even for those who feel they “can’t meditate.” Within this&nbsp;spontaneous soundscape, many naturally drift into calm, expansive inner&nbsp;spaces where insight, rest, and renewal arise with ease. Your&nbsp;guides for this experience include Drumsinger A. Michelle, Piper Padillia,&nbsp;and Russell Kramer, holding space for a journey of sound, stillness, and&nbsp;restoration.

Art Play Learn Online

Take an art-creation journey each week that helps you develop your art technique and your artistic expression. Each week there will be a theme which will result in following instructor-led guided art and then adding your own personal artist spice to it using a variety of art media.Some examples from the past have been a guided drawing of an endangered animal with students' individual ideas of the landscape that animal might live in. The landscape ideas are formed using the Socratic Method of asking them questions that do not necessarily have to be answered out loud- but can be. Just letting those questions bounce around your head will help ideas form and get curated. In addition to learning art techniques and expression, students gain knowledge about the theme through fun facts, and games.

Hello Middletown Patch!
On November 1, 2026, my father, Drew McEnroe, and I (Regan McEnroe) will be running in the NYC&nbsp;Marathon for the Alzheimer's Association!&nbsp; We are so excited to be participating in this race, and even more so to be raising funds and awareness for a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts. 
Our grandmother/mother, Rita McEnroe, suffered from Alzheimer's Disease. My family, like so many others, was devastated as we watched this disease consume Rita, ultimately turning her into someone we no longer recognized. However, we are not alone. So many families are touched by this disease, each with their own story and sadness. We are running this race to honor all of the loved ones who suffered and currently suffer from this absolutely horrible disease. 
We are also running to support everyone out there who may be caring for someone with Alzheimer's Disease.&nbsp; Caregiving can feel incredibly isolating and often caregivers are unsure where and who to turn to in times of need. Alzheimer’s Disease continues to touch the lives of more and more families each year, but with an aging population and a dwindling long-term care workforce, we will be hard-pressed to ensure that all those who suffer receive the care they deserve.&nbsp; We know how important it is to raise awareness about the resources that these caregivers can access, and that is part of our mission as well.&nbsp;
We are committed to raising $10,000 to support efforts that strengthen the long-term care workforce and advance research for this disease in hopes of one day finding a cure. &nbsp;We are so appreciative of all the support we have and continue to receive from family, friends, and community members. We are turning to our fellow Middletown residents to support this cause and help in the fight against Alzheimer's. 
This is a link to our fundraising page:&nbsp;<a href="https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/mcenroe</a>&nbsp;On it you will see a picture of Rita as we choose to remember her, always with a smile on her face.&nbsp;
We really appreciate you taking the time to review our story and consider making a donation to our cause. While raising the money is a top priority, we also think it is equally important to spread awareness, and we are just as happy to be getting our message out there.&nbsp;
Thank You!
