Bethany Music and Dance and Solstice and Equinox Celebrations
and the Annual Celebration of May!

bmad gatherings are indefinitely suspended
my heart is full of all the wonderful memories of so many celebrations of community through music and dance at bmad over 25 years, there were +/-300 gatherings
the death of my friend bobby weidig on 12/25/15 has ended this monthly activity
every day i reflect on the many joys given me and others by all that bmad represented as well as the sadness resulting from bobby's accidental death, especially for his family and close friends
whereas i knew that the nature of the bmad gatherings needed to change before bobby's death, i am of course saddened at the way this change was realized
i am deeply humbled by the strength and breadth of the community engendered by bmad and grateful for the many friendships personally and collectively that bmad has spawned
