Yoga and music event in Berwyn Friday June 9
BERWYN IL - Music & Potlucks, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization presents “Yoga, Wine & Song” on Friday, June 9 at 5:30 pm. The free event takes place in the Friendly Music Community Room, 6731 Roosevelt Road.
The program features a 45 minute session of gentle yoga led by certified yoga instructor Marianne Mohrhusen of Brookfield followed an acoustic mini-concert by Midwest troubadour Mark Dvorak. Light snacks will be provided and refreshments are available for purchase.
“It’s our once-a-month happy hour,” said Music & Potlucks director Stephanie Schrodt of River Forest. "For the last year we’ve been presenting Yoga, Wine & Song live stream. We’ve joined by people from as far away as Columbia, South America, Florida, Colorado and the east coast. We decided to approach Rob Pierce at the Friendly Music Community about doing the program live and in person, and he jumped at the chance.”
The Friendly Music Community consists of a bar, The Friendly Tap, established by Pierce in 2007, the Friendly Coffee Lounge just next door, the Friendly Music School on the second floor and the newly renovated Community Room.
“We’re in the business of attraction,” said Pierce. “Our goal is to create a space where people of all ages can gather for music, for lessons or for a cup of coffee. We just love working with Music & Potlucks. They do incredible work in the community and their mission and ours are pretty much in alignment.”
The Oak Park River Forest area based Music & Potlucks has presented more than 125 live and live stream events since March of 2017 and has raised thousands of dollars for agencies who serve those need: Helping Hand, Share Food Share Love Food Pantry, Housing Forward, Beyond Hunger Food Pantry, the West Suburban Community Pantry, the Frank Hamilton School, the Old Town School of Folk Music Employee Support Fund and many others.
