In this time when all of us are sequestered in our houses, online events, whether concerts, group singings, meditation gatherings, and a whole host of other events are being scheduled. I was finding that there were so many happening, that I wanted to have one place that I can see what’s happening.
I decided to put together this calendar to keep track and figured that others would also like to find cool events that we can all take part in virtually.
If you have any suggestions of events that I should add to this, please send me a message with the information (website URL, date/time, etc.)
Also, live events allow us to interact with each other and have a shared experience, and that is what we need most now. Remember, social distancing should not mean social isolation.
