It features over two dozen rousing southern gospel and bluegrass songs sung and played by the Sanders family, a traveling group making their return to performing after a five years. Though they try to appear perfect to the congregation, a sequence of "witnessing" from the each family member reveals their true...and hilariously imperfect nature.

Awakening the Chakras, vortexes of energy, that start at the tailbone and end at the crown of the head. There are many chakras in the body, these are points in the body that correspond to a specific area where multiple nerves crisscross. It is believed that through meditating on these specific Chakras you can learn to control the energy in your body and experience everything from spontaneous healing to enlightenment. Vision Board Workshop: June 18 at noon. Doubtless you have heard it said that most of us never get what we want because we don’t know what we want.
