Step inside Suma Sessions for a rare chance to witness a live album recording with the Gruca White Ensemble in the Studio at Suma Recording. The audience becomes part of the process as the duo captures its newest repertoire in a historic space, and every ticket directly supports the project. The music follows their concert approach, moving from flute and guitar works by seldom-heard composers from around the world to their own arrangements and improvisations inspired by familiar rock and jazz tunes. After the performance, guests can enjoy a dessert reception with the artists and studio team, take a guided look around the storied Suma Studio, and receive both a signed CD and a digital download of the finished recording. Those who cannot attend also have a way to contribute to the effort. Guitarist Robert Gruca and flutist Linda White are known for inventive programming that bridges classical, rock, world, Latin, and jazz influences. Comfortable with written scores and improvisation, they draw on experiences ranging from rock bands to conservatory and jazz studies. Their 2020 debut on Big Round Records earned enthusiastic praise, and both are graduates of the Cleveland Institute of Music who teach at The Music Settlement in Cleveland.

Experience a quiet, phone-free sanctuary at Illumin8 dedicated to peaceful reflection and shared stillness. Participants enter quietly, settle into a comfortable spot in the upstairs space, and choose how long to sit, whether for a brief pause or an extended meditation. Everyone is welcome, including newcomers, with simple technique suggestions available to help get started. Practice can focus on intentions for world peace, follow provided prompts, or unfold through a personal approach. You may stay for the entire retreat or step in for a portion, and thoughtful arrivals and departures help preserve the calm. Sitting together is described as creating a strong, positive field that supports clearer focus, deeper relaxation, and expanded awareness, with the collective intention extending peace into the surrounding community. The retreat is organized into several quiet blocks so participants can attend one or more segments as they wish. A suggested love donation of $10 to $40 helps cover expenses, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Any surplus supports 3 Shanti in creating and hosting future gatherings.
