						1 Gratitude Rock Workshop Gratitude Rock Workshop February 1, 2020 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm The Cotton Seed Creative Exchange Event: https://facebook.com/events/1878480242295516/ Gratitude is something that everyone should have daily. A reason to be thankful in order to manifest all that the universe has to offer us. As easy as it sounds, some days are harder than others to be positve and grateful. One thing that can make it easier is a constant reminder that when times get hard there is a lot to be thankful for. In this workshop we will discuss gratitude and how to shift to powerful thinking by simply having a daily reminder to be thankful. Gratitude is the easiest step to keep a positive attitude! We will begin by discussing how our life changes by being grateful and what we can do to try and stay positive through the ups and downs of life. Everyone in attendance will paint a gratitide rock and create a daily checklist on how to remain grateful throughout the year. See more details •
2 Sea Shanty Sing Sea Shanty Sing February 2, 2020 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm Ballydoyle Irish Pub Fox Valley Folklore Society (an Aurora / No. Aurora based 501 (c) 3 charitable organization) has been doing 100 events annually in Aurora and the Fox Valley since 1975. Currently, two of our regular events are held in downtown Aurora. These include: A weekly "Sing Around" (an informal song circle) that we have held every Wednesday night since 1/15/1975. It started in Aurora and remained there for about 16 years when we began a series of moves up and down the Fox Valley. In 2013 we returned to Aurora at Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant. The Sing Around is held every Wednesday night beginning at 7 pm and often continuing until 11 or 12. A monthly "Sea Shanty Sing" held on the first Sunday each month from 3 to 6 PM at Ballydoyle Irish Pub & Restaurant. Sea Shantys were the work songs used to coordinate the labor of the work on the Tall Ships. They're great songs, mostly a' capella, with rousing sing along choruses. You don't need to know the songs, just be ready to belt out the choruses! This has been a regular monthly event since 2014. See more details •	3 M.U.S.I.C. Monday M.U.S.I.C.
