Join us for the summertime re-boot of the Wonder Sessions Open Mic! This night, the Mt Airy Supper Sessions are also happening; so you can simultaneously enjoy the great vibes of our Open Mic alongside of the awesome energy of a street festival with food trucks and local vendors!
The Wonder Sessions : a featured musician, an open mic, and an herbal bar with vegan food! Come for the show or come to enjoy the food and drink and catch up with a friend in the side room or out about Germantown Ave for the Mt Airy Supper Sessions on the 71-200 blocks! (https://mtairycdc.org/event/supper-sessions/2024-06-12/)
Suggested donation for the Open Mic is $5-$15: or an equivalent amount of food and drink (though no one will be turned away due to lack of funds!)

Richie Parrella is a Somatic Therapist, Certified yoga teacher, Reiki Master and sound healer trained in Prana yoga, based in the lineages of Kundalini and Tantra yoga and Ayurveda in the lineage of Dr. Vasant Lad. He facilitates sessions, classes, and groups with the intention to create a safe space for others to explore their inner experience, create transformation, as well as reduce stress, anxiety, and support the allowing of the body, mind, and spirit’s natural ability to heal. His teachings are rich in yogic philosophy, breath work and mindfulness.
Through his journey with Ayurveda, Yoga, Tantra, and Somatic therapy, he has come to learn that the body, mind and spirit are intrinsically connected, and must be treated as such, to achieve optimal health, and to support in self realization, and transformation.
