This event coincides with Cherry Valley First Fridays, an evening of gallery openings, music, food and fun throughout the Village of Cherry Valley.
The Telegraph School will hold a monthly “Red Tent” gathering on Saturday, June 8—a safe and sacred place where self-identified women gather to experience, share, celebrate, and mourn the rhythms of the life of a woman.

On Friday, June 21, The Telegraph School will host its next “Roving Dance Party.” Organizers said they are excited to be a part of Living Earth Sanctuary’s Summer Solstice event at Moreland Park, 173 Ritter Park, Little Falls. Activities and workshops will be featured throughout the day, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. “Come dance down the sun,” invited Telegraph School founder Angelica Palmer.
