The Teal Center

Give your mind and body a reset. Join us for an evening sound bath meditation, where the healing tones of crystal bowls, wooden flutes, pan drums, and chimes guide you into deep relaxation and presence.
Led by renowned DC area spiritual teacher, Dante Baker — a licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher, and sound healing practitioner — this session uses vibrational sound to help release tension, quiet the mind, and restore balance. Each instrument's tone is believed to correspond to a different energy center in the body, working together to bring you into harmony.
What to expect:
<ul>
<li>A guided introduction to settle into a relaxed, receptive state</li>
<li>A full sound bath using wooden drone flute, pan drum, and Healing Yantra drum</li>
<li>Time to simply lie back, breathe, and let the vibrations do the work</li>
</ul>
No experience necessary — just bring an open mind (and maybe a mat or blanket for comfort. We will have extras just in case).
Investment: $45

City of Falls Church City Hall

The 2026 Falls Church Arts “Scenes in the City” Plein Air Festival culminates on Saturday, September 26, from 8 a.m. to noon, with a lively morning of outdoor painting, competition, judging, cash awards, and art sales.
The festival will take place on the grounds of Falls Church City Hall, 300 Park Avenue. Visitors can watch artists paint en plein air—French for “in the open air”—as they work quickly on location to capture changing light, atmosphere, and the character of Falls Church.
Before the September 26 finale, artists have had three weeks to capture picturesque and historic scenes throughout Falls Church, including the W&amp;OD Trail, local parks, Cherry Hill Farmhouse, Clare and Don’s Beach Shack, and the Falls Church Farmers Market.
More than forty artists will compete for cash prizes. Noted juror Glen Kessler will judge the paintings and announce the winners at noon. The 2025 festival awarded more than $5,000 in prizes, and generous sponsors have made this year’s awards possible.
The morning’s centerpiece is the Quick Draw Competition, in which participants create an original painting within the three-hour festival window and submit it for judging. The competition is open to artists of all ages and skill levels, who may register at the Quick Draw table for a $15 entry fee.
Attendees may also vote for their favorite painting in the People’s Choice Award, honoring the artwork that receives the most public votes.
This free, family-friendly event invites visitors to meet the artists, watch paintings take shape, and purchase original artwork to take home the same day. If it rains, the festival will be held on October 3.
