Combining aspects of Peace-Building and elements from the Curious Collaborative Creativity approach, we celebrate improvisational "musicking" experiences with others.

We are located in the town of Pierrepont, NY in foothills of the Adirondack Mountains where we gather together on special occasions such as holidays, Earth Day, Solstices, World Music Day, and international Play Music on the Porch Day. These community gatherings include sharing our own improvisations using a variety of percussion instruments, Native American Style flutes, string instruments, and song singing. Included with our music-making, we incorporate activities derived from Caron's experience with Musicians Without Borders.
