They bring fresh spirit to Quebecois and Celtic traditions that have been part of Canadian music for generations. Individually, they have cred for miles: Timi was Quebecois Champion on accordion three years running with her siblings in the band LEAHY, Erin is a multiple JUNO Award winner and Louis is the only eight-time Canadian Fiddle Champion (and a four-time Grand Masters Fiddle Champion). As Cécilia, they invite audiences to share in the unmistakable, irresistible vitality of their music and culture.

Join Laura in the Air Studio for 60-minutes of Mandala Mindfulness, designed to center your system and deepen your focus. Rooted in the Sanskrit word mandala, meaning “circle” or “wholeness,” this practice uses circular movement and imagery to cultivate focus, balance, and a sense of completion. The session begins with a 30-minute gentle mandala yoga flow, guiding you in a continuous, circular sequence around your mat. You’ll then transition into a 30-minute mandala-inspired mindfulness activity, encouraging reflection, creativity, and inner stillness. After class, you’re invited to stay and connect with the community over light refreshments. This event is designed for all levels of experience—no prior experience is needed. This is a donation-based offering, with all proceeds supporting the Lotus Education and Arts Foundation. Space is limited, so advance registration is encouraged. The event will be held outdoors in case of inclement weather, it will move to the Water Studio.
