A meditative concert for flute and nature sounds by ENØE, performed in the intimate setting of the Chapel.
This gentle concert invites you into the world of Radagast the Brown—a quiet, vibrant, and sensory-rich nature where birds speak and trees listen.
With simple flute melodies and natural soundscapes, a space is created for calm, reflection, and connection with the green and the mysterious. The music is not grand like the Ainur’s song of creation, but humble and present—like a whisper from the heart of the forest.
Take a seat, breathe deeply, and let your mind wander with Radagast through clearings, birdsong, and silence.

When playing DnD, dungeon accessories are some of the most essential—and luckily, easiest—things to make. In this workshop, you will create dungeon tiles, walls, and pillars that can be used in any dungeon crawl.
