About Max Claros
Maximus Claros is a young drummer that has played jazz/funk all across Rhode Island. Claros performed on Lincoln Center Campus through the Jazz Arts Collective. He received a scholarship to play in NYC getting mentorship from many great musicians including Douglas Marriner, Kenny Washington, Charles McPherson, and Dion Parson. At 14 years old, Maximus was drumming in venues like Sons of Liberty, Chans, Bar and Board, and more. Now he’s bringing his trio to the Botanical Center to vibe with the plants, the people, and more.

Venue

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
Our next episode of Swan Stories features Roz Raskin of the dreamy Providence-based band @novaone_! Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more!
