Events Calendar

Join us for an afternoon of incredible music and uplifting stories!

At 4:00 pm on October 5th in the beautiful Blackman Music Hall at Converse University, Classical Healing Keys will present a #Stigma-Free Concert—a powerful hour of music dedicated to breaking down the barriers and misconceptions surrounding mental health. Music has the ability to open hearts, start conversations, and create healing spaces, and this concert will do just that.

We have an incredible line up of musicians I know you will enjoy. In addition to the music you’ll hear three brief inspiring true stories from real people about living fully with mental illness. So come, relax, and be uplifted for 60 minutes on Sunday afternoon.

Saturday October 11 is Dog Adoption Day at Hatcher Garden’s Strutt Your Mutt event.
