It's almost September, and time for the new Ukulele journey. Starting this Sunday, August 29th, we'll be learning and jamming with the talented Lenny San Jose (ukulenny).

This journey is open to all skill levels and has separate beginner and intermediate tracks.

You can choose between a hybrid format with both outdoor and online sessions, or online only.

For the hybrid journey, we start by playing together outdoors under the redwoods in Albany, CA, then spend 3 weeks on zoom practicing, before having our outdoor grand finale celebration!

Registration closes Saturday at midnight, so sign up now before it's too late. You get the entire 5 part series for $122.50 for new students, less than $25 per session.

It can be hard to make progress when learning on your own. It's easy to be distracted or get stuck trying to figure something out and waste time finding the right tutorial. Maybe you just need to have one question answered.

This journey makes it easy to jumpstart your creativity and start making progress. You have lots of opportunities to ask questions and get feedback: before and after class, and in our private online forum between classes.

Our live, small group format encourages you to practice between lessons and share your experience with people who understand the ups and downs of learning a new instrument.

Come try it out!

We’re excited to announce a brand new journey starting in September- stand-up comedy! Taught by professional comedian Matt Baetz, this course is designed to teach the basics of creating and performing standup, while looking at the world with a sense of humor.

Come get a taste during our free workshops on either Saturday or Thursday, Aug 26th! Link in bio

Matt’s impressive accomplishments include appearances on The Late Late Show on CBS, Comics Unleashed, Comedy TV, as well as clubs, colleges, and corporate events around the country.

This course is for complete beginners who are willing to learn about what goes into crafting a standup routine and want to give it a try. You don’t have to be ‘funny’ or even aspire to be a comedian, you just need a desire to tell stories, make others laugh and appreciate good humor.

At first, it might sound odd that a workshop in Stand-up Comedy could be a useful tool for coping with stress and life’s challenges. However, the practice of creative self expression, reflecting on your experiences, and having a laugh with other members of a group have all been shown to benefit your mental well-being. Also - you won’t be required to perform if you choose not to!

Still not sure if standup is for you? Join us for a free workshop and find out! Link in bio and at mixlife.com

We can’t wait to laugh with you!
