Classic work\, made fresh\, right here downtown.\nSeats are limited by design\, and this run moves fast.

SUMMARY:Guided Imagery & Creative Expression
DESCRIPTION:This offering begins with a gentle warm-up\, followed by a guided imagery journey that invites participants to connect with their inner landscape through embodied awareness\, visualization\, imagination\, and intuition. Following the journey\, participants are invited into creative expression – writing\, drawing\, painting\, etc. – to integrate and give form to what emerged. Time & space will be offered for optional sharing of your experience and/or creation. Art supplies will be provided. No artistic experience is needed. Participants leave feeling grounded\, resourced\, & connected\, along with a tangible artistic creation and a self-care tool they can carry with them wherever they go.\n——————————————————————–\nSarah Sue Burich serves as a naturopath\, wellness guide & coach\, healing facilitator\, educator\, and earth steward. With 15+ years of experience\, she supports people who long to be more informed and empowered in their healing journey. She often serves those who feel overwhelmed\, unseen\, burned out\, chronically unwell\, alone\, disconnected\, “stuck\,” moving through significant life transitions\, and longing for more answers about their health & well-being than conventional medicine can offer. Her approach bridges modern science with ancestral & earth wisdom\, intuition\, creativity\, & magic. She guides others on the most important journey of all ~ back home to themselves.\nSarah Sue integrates many “tools” into her practice\, including nutrition\, herbal medicine\, energy medicine (chakras\, qigong\, homeopathy)\, somatic\, embodiment & dance therapy\, mind-body exploration\, guided imagery\, family constellation therapy\, soul & spirit medicines\, empowerment & more to address healing across physical\, emotional\, spiritual\, and ancestral layers. Her intent is to create a safe & sacred space\, to allow others to tell their stories\, to be seen\, witnessed\, validated\, and honored. She meets each person with humility\, warmth\, and deep respect for their own lived experience\, wisdom\, gifts\, and inner knowing. She serves as an ally on the journey back home to wholeness through individual sessions\, group experiences\, and workshops that honor the whole person – body\, mind\, & spirit.\n——————————————————————–\nScheduled dates:\n– March 21st\, 10-11:30am\n– April 11th\, 10-11:30am\n– May 16th\, 10-11:30am\n——————————————————————–\nTickets: $15 per person.

SUMMARY:The Two Tracks
DESCRIPTION:On June 5th\, The Two Tracks release their 5th studio album\, Seasons Unknown. And also on June 5th\, they’re LIVE on our historic stage at 7pm!\nThat feels like a pretty great reason to celebrate\, so we’re inviting all ticket holders to hang with us and the band before the show.\nCome by at 6:00pm for a laid-back album release shindig. Meet the band\, connect with other fans\, and help us give Seasons Unknown a proper welcome.\n2022 & 2024 Wyoming Arts Council Performing Arts Fellowship Winners\n“They avoid many of the cliches and gimmicks that have grown common in the Americana world while still championing a natural\, Earth-grown sound. To hear an acoustic quartet reach a level of dynamic and thematic intensity like The Two Tracks do is an immeasurably rewarding experience. It’s pure musicianship\, it’s pure excellence\, it’s pure Americana.” – American Songwriter\nRooted in the wide-open landscapes of Wyoming\, The Two Tracks create music that fuses rich storytelling\, soulful harmonies\, and the spirit of the American West. Led by songwriters Julie and Dave Huebner. With Taylor Phillips on bass and Fernando Serna on drums\, the band has carved out a sound that nods to ’70s Americana while forging something entirely their own. Dave’s signature cello playing\, woven into the band’s four-part harmonies\, brings a distinctive edge that sets them apart. \nWith four acclaimed albums and tours across the U.S. and abroad—including a performance at the World Expo in Dubai—the band has graced major stages such as Americanafest (TN)\, Kate Wolf Music Festival (CA)\, Albino Skunk Music Festival (SC)\, Red Ants Pants (MT)\, and NewWestFest (CO). They’ve also shared bills with artists like Orville Peck\, Eilen Jewell\, The Brothers Comatose\, and Shook Twins.\nTheir most recent release\, It’s a Complicated Life\, produced by Will Kimbrough and engineered by Grammy-winner Sean Sullivan\, highlights the band’s dynamic range: from Julie’s raw reflections in The Push and The Pull and Dave’s heartfelt Momma’s Gone\, to political anthems like Workingman’s Blues and the infectious rocker In the Morning.\nAt the heart of The Two Tracks is a deep commitment to connection\, on stage and on record. Their four-part harmonies\, heartfelt songwriting\, and joyful energy resonate long after the last note\, leaving audiences with the sense of having truly shared an experience. Album #5 is already on the horizon\, slated for a 2026 release.\nDoors open at 6:00 PM\, and the show starts at 7:00 PM on Friday\, June 5\, 2026\, right here at The Matthews Opera House. Tickets are $25 + Fees
