- Zumba classes are 6:30pm on Mondays and Wednesdays in our courtyard. Free and open to all. Check Instagram and Facebook Stories for latest Zumba news.
- Meditation classes meet at 6pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our Community Room. Free and open to all.
- Unstructured Silent Meditation gathers Mondays from 9am to 10am. This meditation hour is silent and unstructured; you can enter the space at any time during the hour to meditate. Participants will meditate facing the wall, so as not to be disturbed by those entering after 9. A greeter will act as time keeper–- ringing a bell at 9 to start the sitting period; at 9:30 to signal the midway point, during which one can change their sitting position, or practice walking meditation; and 10 to signal the end of the sitting period.
- Self-Led Ashtanga meets at 9am on Tuesdays and Thursdays in our Community Room. People with an existing yoga practice are invited to do yoga in community; no teacher is present. Mats available.
- AA meets virtually --and occasionally live -- in our community room on Saturdays at 12pm. Join here.
