    Groton · verified Oct 4

    Nordic walking on local trails in Groton, Massachusetts and Nashua, New Hampshire introduces participants to a pole-assisted stride that began in Norway and is now widely practiced across Europe.

The first session starts with basic instruction to learn the fundamentals of the technique. Later outings include a quick review and additional tips to refine form. Routes include the J Harry Rich Eagle Loop in Groton and Mines Fall Park in Nashua, and a subsequent outing will repeat the trail that becomes the favorite.

    Arts at the Armory welcomes Alec Ounsworth of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to the Spotlight Stage for an intimate piano-centered set.

Fresh from a run of small European shows, this appearance offers a rare chance to hear his work reimagined up close and in a new light. Alt-americana artist Jessye DeSilva will open. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 on the day of the show, with general admission seating. Tickets are non-refundable and all sales are final.

    Townsend Public Library, 12 Dudley Rd, Townsend · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Get grounded in essential outdoor know-how with an introductory wilderness survival class focused on staying warm, hydrated, and nourished in the backcountry. Designed for hikers, backpackers, hunters, trail runners, and anyone eager to spend more time outside, it builds confidence, expands practical knowledge, and strengthens a personal connection to nature. Wilderness Survival 1 can be taken on its own or as part of the OEWS Alula Certification path, and successful completion fulfills the prerequisites for Wilderness Survival 2 or 3. Participants receive an OEWS logo patch along with a feather patch at the end. Training covers careful use, sharpening, and safety of carving tools, five fundamental knots, fire making with modern ignition methods, rabbit stick technique, shelter construction with contemporary gear, methods for disinfecting water, smart clothing choices for conditions, foraging guidelines and ethics, how to assemble a dependable survival kit, planning and mindset for challenging scenarios, and navigation with map and compass. Students should bring an OEWS Basic, Complete, or Ultimate Survival Kit or an equivalent setup, with the Complete Kit suggested for a single-package solution. Wear clothing suited to weather and insects, pack plenty of water plus extra to put out fires, bring lunch and snacks, a seat such as a camping chair, a baseplate compass, and an optional notebook and pen for taking notes. At minimum, plan to have a carving tool, a ferro rod or matches, a poncho or large trash bag, about 12 feet of rope, and whatever you need for personal comfort and safety. Loaner items are available, and carving tools and fire starters can be purchased at the start of class. The Complete Kit can be paired with a compass and poncho for a strong starter setup, and all suggested gear has been vetted by the instructional team. Instruction happens entirely outdoors in a forest setting a short walk from parking, so dress for the weather, especially cold conditions, and pack extra layers. Those interested in a specialized carving tool may look into The Talon, a design by lead instructor Tim Swanson, handmade by Jackson Mills of Freedom Forge with custom handle and sheath options. Builds typically take a few weeks and often cost around 200 dollars, depending on customization. The class is oriented toward adults, though mature minors are welcome at a parent’s discretion. Anyone under 18 must attend with a parent or guardian. One ticket applies to one participant regardless of age. Sessions run year round, entirely outside, and proceed rain or shine. If conditions are unsafe, the class will be canceled and students can reschedule. Instruction is led by Tim Swanson, founder and lead instructor of Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival, alongside apprentices and co-instructors.

    6th Annual Indigenous Peoples Day Newton Ceremonial Celebration

    Albermarle Field, 250 Albemarle Rd, Newton
    See details

    At Albermarle Field, the 6th Annual Indigenous Peoples Day Newton Ceremonial Celebration brings people together to honor the cultures, histories, resilience, and living traditions of Indigenous Peoples. It is the largest Indigenous-led ceremonial celebration in Massachusetts. The theme, Medicines of the Lands: Healing Through Ancestral Plants, highlights enduring relationships with the natural world, where plants offer nourishment, healing, ceremony, and guidance, and where knowledge is grounded in observation, reciprocity, and responsibility. Attendees can experience an opening Indigenous ceremony and a sacred fire, traditional drum groups, music and dance, storytelling, and presentations led by tribal representatives and cultural educators. Teachings on Indigenous plant medicines and traditional ecological knowledge are shared alongside demonstrations by artists, an Indigenous artisan marketplace, Indigenous food vendors, educational exhibits, and activities for children. The event includes a sensory-friendly space and is accessible, and community organizations will be present. Everyone is welcome, and admission is free to the public. Respect for cultural protocols is central to the day. Guests are asked to request permission before photographing ceremonies, sacred spaces, or individuals, to recognize that some songs, stories, medicines, and ceremonies are not meant to be taught or shared outside their original contexts, to support Indigenous artists, educators, authors, and businesses by purchasing directly from them, to care for the land and leave no trace, and to listen with openness and humility. Teachings are offered for education and cultural understanding and are not to be appropriated, commercialized, misrepresented, or removed from their cultural context. Not every teaching is intended for practice beyond the communities from which it comes. Respect includes listening, seeking permission when appropriate, acknowledging the Indigenous communities who have protected this knowledge, and uplifting Indigenous voices. The celebration is hosted by H.U.A.H., Mothers Path to Ancestors, Inc., the organizer of Indigenous Peoples Day Newton. The organization focuses on education, celebration, and uplift of Indigenous cultures, creating opportunities for Indigenous communities to share their voices, traditions, and living histories with the broader public while honoring the First Peoples of these lands and working toward respect, truth, relationship, and healing.

    Tricky

    The Sinclair, 52 Church St, Cambridge · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Tricky brings his singular sound to The Sinclair for an all ages performance. The moment aligns with Different When It’s Silent, his first release under his own name in six years, arriving after a run of projects on his False Idols label that include Lonely Guest with contributors such as Oh Land, Marta Złakowska, Joe Talbot, Murkage Dave, Paul Smith, and Lee Scratch Perry, Fifteen Days with producer Mike Theis under the name Theis Thaws, and a joint album with Marta last year. The new material reflects a period marked by personal loss and a desire to work quietly, a direction that shifted when manager Alan McGee encouraged presenting these songs as a Tricky album. On the record, Bristol singer Mitch Sanders leads most of the vocals, with additional appearances by Red Run Rambo and Christian Pattemore. The set of songs spans guitar grit, shadowy electronics, and moments colored by strings and an operatic voice, and it includes a reimagined version of Dope Lemon’s Marinade. Marta joins Tricky on the closing track Out of Place. True to form, he continues to spotlight emerging voices from his community. In addition, twenty five cents from each ticket supports The Shout Syndicate, a Boston based volunteer effort that funds youth led arts programs through The Boston Foundation in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.

    Brennan Wedl

    See details

    Brennan Wedl, raised in Minnesota and based in Nashville, writes from the perspective of someone long in search of herself and now settling into authentic ease. Through spiritual curiosity, empowerment, and renewed playfulness, she shaped an album that bears her name, loosening the grip of outside expectations and savoring the relief of being exactly who she is. It unfolds as a collaborative journey with earlier and future versions of herself, and with the friends who steady the way, tracing both the chaos and the victories that come from leaving a conventional route. Its familiar glow comes from themes many recognize, including the awkward, uncertain stretches of growing up, and the discovery that the anchor you seek can be found within. Sub*T, the New York indie rock duo of Grace Bennett and Jade Alcantara, began as a 2010s online friendship that evolved into a band after they learned guitar in 2019. Drawing on classic alt rock, grunge, and indie influences, they developed a voice of their own. Their debut full-length, How My Own Voice Sounds, follows the EPs Spring Skin, created with Aron Kobayashi Ritch of Momma, and So Green, made with Alicia Bognanno of Bully. Through rich vocal textures, vivid songwriting, and candid lyrics, the album explores identity, growth, grief, humor, and self-discovery.

    Crawford Memorial United Methodist Church hosts a Last Hope K9 Rescue adoption event featuring adoptable dogs. An application on file is required to enter the adoption area, and it can be completed in advance or upon arrival. Fully approved adopters are admitted earlier than those with applications still in process. To ensure there is enough time to complete placements and deposits, adoption and deposit conversations conclude shortly before the event ends. Dogs are available on a first come, first served basis, so arriving early is recommended if there is a specific pup you hope to meet. Fully approved attendees with no pets or additional humans at home may be able to adopt and bring a dog home the same day. Please bring a 6 foot non retractable leash. Fully approved attendees who have pets or additional household members, as well as those with applications in process, can place a $100 deposit toward the final adoption fee if they make a connection. Deposits hold for 7 days to allow for meet and greets and welcoming a new dog home, and in most circumstances deposits made while an application is being expedited are non refundable. For safety, children under 5 must be in strollers or held, and groups with children under 10 will be provided a family escort. Only adoptable dogs are permitted inside the event space. If there are pets at home, personality matches will be discussed and a follow up meet and greet will be scheduled off site, since on site introductions are not available. If any household members have travel plans in the three weeks following the event, browsing is welcome, but please wait to pursue a deposit or adoption until everyone has returned, as dogs cannot be held in foster homes and successful transitions require a stable schedule.

His discography spans a dozen albums, and his honors include the Doris Duke Artist Award, the United States Fellowship, and the Smithsonian Legacy Award. He has also spent nearly two decades in the Wayne Shorter Quartet with John Patitucci and Brian Blade, appearing on Blue Note’s EMANON, which earned the 2019 Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.

    Circles of Wisdom, 386 Merrimack St, Methuen · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Experience in-person training in the Usui Reiki Ryoho tradition with Nicholas Pearson as guide. This third-degree and master teacher course, known as shinpiden or mystery teachings, supports second degree practitioners and established instructors who want to deepen their understanding, expand their skills, and cultivate inner peace. Reiki, a spiritual practice and healing art honored worldwide, works with universal life energy to bring balance to body, mind, and spirit. Practitioners receive empowerments called reiju, sometimes referred to as initiations or attunements, to connect with and share this energy. The curriculum revisits essential principles from the first and second degrees, explores the history, meaning, and application of the fourth symbol and its mantra, and teaches how to offer reiju and Western-style attunements in person and at a distance. Participants study advanced Japanese techniques, refine approaches for healing and personal development, and gain practical strategies for planning and teaching effective classes. Guidance is also provided on facilitating community practice, including Reiki shares, training sessions, and reiju-kai. Those who complete the program receive the title shihan, the Japanese term for instructor, often called Reiki Master in many lineages. Graduates are trained to conduct the reiju ceremony to transmit Reiki to others. Each participant receives a certificate, a comprehensive manual with supplemental materials, traditional reiju to affirm connection with the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage, dedicated practice time for treatments, attunements, and advanced meditations, plus resources for continuing education and professional growth. Ongoing support from Nicholas continues after the course. Nicholas brings decades of experience in the healing arts and insight gathered from studying multiple Reiki styles around the world. His teaching emphasizes the spiritual heart of the practice and provides clear, in-depth instruction for meaningful, sustainable growth. Prerequisites include initiation and training through the first and second degrees in any Reiki lineage, with certificates that may be requested, at least six months of personal or professional practice, the ability to conduct sessions both in person and remotely, and a commitment to live by the Five Precepts. A discounted rate at a nearby Hampton Inn may be available for travelers upon request by email.

    The Jury Experience – The Burning House Case | Boston

    Regent Theatre Arlington, 7 Medford St, Arlington · verified Oct 4
    See details

    An immersive courtroom drama from Law&Crime places the audience in the jury box, turning a night at the theater into a high-stakes deliberation. As the Burning House case unfolds, attendees listen to testimony, examine evidence, and vote at decisive moments that can alter the course of the trial, with the final verdict determined by the crowd. This is not a passive show... the justice delivered comes from the people in the seats. The case centers on wedding planner Mary Barrett and her boyfriend, firefighter Danny Cullen. After Mary breaks years of sobriety during a party and a fierce argument follows, Danny is later found dead and his home is destroyed by fire. Angry messages from Mary, traces of accelerant in her car, and a night she can barely recall all seem incriminating. Yet unanswered questions muddy the picture. Danny suffered a serious head injury before the fire, key security footage is missing, and the arson investigator, Mikey Doyle, was Danny’s close friend and had clashed with him over secret messages with Mary. The mystery asks whether Mary set the blaze in a drunken rage or whether the investigator is concealing his own role. The experience includes themes of violent and accidental death, relapse and addiction, and intense domestic conflict, with emotionally charged moments and a detailed discussion of a fatal fire. Presented at Regent Theatre Arlington. Seating is general admission within the zone purchased. The venue is wheelchair accessible with a designated wheelchair area. It is suitable for ages 12 and up, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. An on-site bar serves drinks and snacks and accepts cash only. Photography and recording are permitted without flash, and there are no strobe effects. Service animals are welcome.

    Harvard Book Store hosts Emily St. John Mandel, the author of six novels including "Sea of Tranquility", "The Glass Hotel", and "Station Eleven", for a conversation about her new novel, "Exit Party". She will speak with Allegra Goodman, the national bestselling author of "Isola" and the recent book "This Is Not About Us". Tickets include entry for one and a hardcover copy of "Exit Party" signed in advance. Books bundled with tickets must be picked up at the venue on the night of the event and are not available for in-store pickup beforehand.

Signed copies are not guaranteed for those who do not attend. About "Exit Party": The writer of "Station Eleven" and "Sea of Tranquility" returns with a sweeping story of doubles, shadow worlds, and fractured timelines. In Los Angeles in 2031, during the first spring after the United States has collapsed, peacekeepers leave the city, jacarandas bloom, and the curfew lifts. Ari Waker and her roommate traverse Silverlake past bomb-sniffing dogs, makeshift encampments, and Red Cross tents to reach a raucous apartment party where the room hums with dancing and someone shimmers in a silver, tinfoil-like dress.

    Curious about the potter’s wheel without wanting a long commitment? This two-session workshop offers a straightforward introduction.

    Bedouine brings an intimate evening of reflective folk to Arts at the Armory, shaped by a life spent crossing borders and finding home in sound. The project of Azniv Korkejian, born in Aleppo to Armenian parents and raised between the Middle East and the United States, blends 60s-inspired folk, 70s country textures, and a touch of bossa nova, carried by delicate guitar work and understated, nuanced vocals. A career in dialogue and music editing led her into a close-knit Echo Park music community, and a spur-of-the-moment studio visit with producer Gus Seyffert yielded the first take of Solitary Daughter. She went on to craft songs with contributors including Smokey Hormel, and worked with Matthew E. White and Trey Pollard before Thom Monahan brought the recordings together in a polished final mix. Her writing lingers on movement, memory, and belonging, at times folding in vivid sonic souvenirs such as the street sounds from her grandmother’s neighborhood in Aleppo. This concert is open to all ages.

This is a physically demanding class that rewards patience and persistence. Instruction takes place in all weather, so participants should dress for changing conditions and bring their own food. Those traveling from out of town should arrange lodging, and organizers can suggest nearby hotels or campsites. It is not an overnight campout, and each day wraps up when the day’s work is complete. Real animal skins are used. Students will handle tasks such as scraping away tissue, hair, and other material. Hides are kept fresh and frozen, and gloves, aprons, and a hand washing station are provided. Participants should arrive hydrated, well fed, sober, and ready to work hard. Instruction is provided by the Owl Eyes Wilderness Survival team.

Winner of eight Tony Awards in 2019, including Best Musical, and the 2020 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album, it offers a theatrical journey that is both dark and full of hope, holding tight from the opening note to the final moment.

    Temples brings The BLISS Tour to The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA, offering a night with a band known for reshaping pop forms through a forward-looking strain of psychedelia. Founded in 2012 by bassist Tom Warmsley and singer and guitarist James Bagshaw, the UK group blends gritty glam rhythms, shimmering 12‑string textures, and hypnotic atmospheres into songs that feel classic and contemporary at the same time. Their home-recorded breakout, Shelter Song, led to a deal with Heavenly Records and a swift rise that included festival appearances and a Hyde Park bill alongside The Rolling Stones, with admirers such as Johnny Marr, Robert Wyatt, Suede, and Noel Gallagher taking notice. Their debut album, Sun Structures, mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer, later reached number 7 on the UK chart. The band draws on a wide palette that ranges from 60s psych to Motown, glam, Krautrock, and baggy, always keeping melody and invention at the core. This event is open to all ages. With every ticket sold, $0.25 benefits The Shout Syndicate, a Boston-based, volunteer-run effort that helps fund youth-led arts programs at established non-profit creative youth development organizations in Greater Boston.

    Mr Sun Plays Ellington’s Nutcracker Suite

    Groton Hill Music Center, 122 Old Ayer Rd, Groton
    See details

    Beloved melodies from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker are reimagined as Mr Sun channels the stylish jazz suite that Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn crafted, all viewed through the vibrant lens of a modern American string band. The quartet of Darol Anger on fiddle, Joe K. Walsh on mandolin, Grant Gordy on guitar, and Aidan O’Donnell on bass explores the score with both reverence and curiosity, blending chamber-like textures with the drive of roots music. Drawing from their recording, the music ranges from close readings of Strayhorn’s charts to expansive improvisations that spring from the suite’s themes. Solos are largely original, while signature statements by Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves are thoughtfully quoted. Strayhorn’s striking horn voicings are translated to bowed strings, and layered mandolin parts give the arrangements extra punch. The album introduces one additional piece built from three ballet themes in a classic Dawg Music setting. On that recording, the Russian Dance bursts into full bluegrass with guest banjo by Alison Brown, and Jerry Douglas adapts a celebrated Lawrence Brown trombone feature in Dance Of The Floreadores, retitled “(don’t) Walk On The Flowers.” Now on tour, the group recreates the scope of the album... the core quartet is often joined by regional string players to evoke the sweep of a larger ensemble and a full orchestra of sound.

    An intimate evening of trance mediumship unfolds in a small, carefully held group. British psychic medium Tony Stockwell works with his spirit guides to share spiritual philosophy, channeled messages for the room, healing energy, and insights that look ahead. Those who wish to participate are asked to remain for the full session and help sustain a calm, supportive atmosphere while the medium is in trance. The lights are kept low, yet the medium remains visible, and seating is limited. As Tony relaxes into an altered state, his awareness recedes so that his guide, Zintar Lungar, described as a Buddhist monk from long ago, can blend and speak. Attendees may notice shifts in his appearance and voice, may sense the presence of spirit, and may feel healing energy. Group communications often come from Zintar and other spiritual communicators, including messages connected to departed loved ones, and some participants receive personal messages or healing. The experience centers on soul-to-soul communication and the enduring love of the spirit world.
