to the ecstatic by Elizabeth Adams, Edward Green, and Anne
Goldberg, including the premiere of The Figure Ground Party
by Ms. Adams. The library combines soaring gothic windows
and ceiling with warm, comfortable furnishings. Meditation
will be led by Ishmael Wallace, of the Community of
Mindfulness and the Order of Interbeing.
What a Neighborhood! is a concert series founded in 2003 by

drawing neighbors together.
