Dream Come True Time.... I created a collective of best freestyle hand drummers in the city and added Toronto funk legends Brainfudge - Chris Bottomley (bass), Rich Underhill (sax), Donne Roberts (guitar) and Great Bob Scott (kit), and Tim Gentle (Ripple Rhythm) rocking the mic, at Drom Taberna, the best live music venue in the city. Structured improv, with one mission: To remind hard core dancers what they forgot they’ve been missing - drums on the dancefloor. Tell your dancing friends. Block party vibe. Wear something fun. It’s gonna be bonkers.

Tim (@atimosabeart https://www.instagram.com/atimosabeart/ on Instagram) has been making, showing and selling photographic art from pictures of torn posters, rusted dumpsters, peeling paint, alley grunge and decorative bird poop since 2018. He hosts a regular online forum with Abstract Photographers International, a community of talented photographers and artists from around the world, who share their insights and experience.

Renegotiating your relationship with your mind and emotions can be a total game changer. You don't need to be a monk. All it takes is practice. Learn, discuss and practice simple, powerful and proven techniques for relaxation, concentration, mindfulness and finding equanimity in everyday life.
Tim has been practicing and studying meditation since 2012, sitting and serving at several Vipassana retreats (Goenka). In 2019 and throughout the pandemic, Tim discovered, and still practices daily with the Waking Up app* and its seemingly endless wealth of resources. He’s been offering meditation instruction and guided meditations since 2021, and offers a fresh, relatable perspective on an ancient practice.
