The Buttonwood Tree Offers Peace, Joy and Freedom and WORLD-CLASS Jazz This Weekend

You may have heard of The Buttonwood Tree Performing Arts Center - a music venue, a community space for gatherings, a venue for Open Mics, a place where they do weird things like Laughter Yoga and workshops called Aligned with Source ... but what is it really?

It's a sanctuary where peace, freedom and joy prevail. It's a space that allows those who enter to leave behind the messiness of the streets, the chaos of politics, the debilitating energy of stress or the fears of lack or unworthiness. When you walk in you are enveloped in a comforting, peaceful energy that - if you allow it - will relieve you of stress, will lift your spirit and will give you time to truly unwind and reset yourself so that facing the world doesn't seem so daunting.

The Buttonwood Tree offers opportunities over and over again to improve your life's situation by presenting programs that educate, or connect you to others, or help you to increase your confidence or move you closer to your goals, all which can enrich your life with meaningful and joyful experiences.
