How exactly would it feel to let it all go? To release any negative energy and joyfully be together? Come find out!
Our third annual MANGATA gathering, Unbound, will fall just before the full moon in mid-September and will be conveniently held at a pavilion in Edwin Warner Park, a beloved greenspace in Nashville that offers healing and rejuvenation to so many on a regular basis.
Please plan to join us. It is sure to be a magical gathering once again.
