Mother’s Day Sound Bath
Step into a world of serenity with a sound bath—a deeply immersive and therapeutic sonic experience that rejuvenates the mind, body, and soul. Participants are enveloped in a symphony of soothing sounds created by instruments such as crystal singing bowls, Native American flutes, and drums.

Beyond the immediate calming effects, a sound bath can help reduce anxiety, enhance mindfulness, and promote better sleep.
This session is beginner-friendly and open to all levels; no prior experience is necessary.

Red Dirt Comedy Presents: William Lee Martin - Seemed Smart at the Time Tour
Meet William Lee Martin
For nearly 30 years, William Lee Martin has been making America laugh with his fast-paced, “PG…in 1985” brand of comedy—fun, a little edgy, but never filthy. His new tour, Red Dirt Comedy Presents: William Lee Martin – Seemed Smart at the Time, delivers another round of original, heartfelt storytelling that turns everyday life into side-splitting laughter.
A prolific writer, Martin refreshes his material every year, so no two tours are ever the same. The show kicks off the moment you enter, with a full audio-visual experience featuring music he’s written himself.
Seen in his hit specials, popular tours like The Funny Life and Nuttier Cracker, and his podcast The Red Dirt Comedy Show, Martin’s comedy is real, relatable, and full of heart. A proud family man and Texas cowboy at heart, he reminds us to laugh at life’s absurdities and enjoy the ride.
If you want a comedy show that’s as smart as it is hilarious—this is it!
