Every 1st Friday
This popular monthly community potluck has returned to The Gatherings, every First Friday of the month at 5.30pm.

Every Monday at 5.30pm & Saturday at 9am
If regular yoga classes are a bit out of your price range, you have trouble finding the motivation to practice alone, or you have been curious to try out yoga for the first time, Community Yoga is for you. These casual classes happen in person every Monday evening at 5.30pm and every Saturday morning at 9am.
The Gatherings is grateful that Glo Yoga (glo.com) has generously donated access to 1000s of classes via their online platform, which allows us to stream many different yoga styles by certified teachers onto our big screen. We may do Vinyasa, Hatha, Kundalini, Restorative, Iyengar, Yin Yoga, and more!
After class, for those who want to, there will be time to ask questions about poses, help each other out, or share tips and stretches we've been enjoying.
These classes will be mostly beginner to intermediate levels, and are open to all ages. There are mats available, no special clothes are required (stretchy recommended) and there is a separate unattended playroom for children if needed. $2 per person goes to the community center.
For more information contact Alice: 385-7694 or alicekslater@gmail.com

Series begins Sunday July 23rd, 5.30pm (and most Sundays thru mid Sept)
If you want the benefits of meditation but struggle to “just sit still” and quiet your mind, this class might just be your cup of tea.
Yoga Nidra, the "yoga of sleep", is a guided practice of deep relaxation and a powerful tool for self-transformation.
Gaining popularity in recent years, Yoga Nidra is beloved for its ability to bring us into a state of profound relaxation and deep awareness without great effort. In Yoga Nidra your task is to lie down, remain comfortably still and follow the instructions. Through those simple steps you begin to access the state of deep rest where regeneration, healing and transformation take place.
In this 7-class series, each class begins with 15 minutes of simple asana (postures) and pranayama (breath work) to help prepare the body & mind for the stillness of Yoga Nidra (25-30min). Classes build on each other, so it is recommended to come as regularly as possible to become familiar with the full scope of Yoga Nidra.
Recordings of the Yoga Nidra we do together will be available upon request for you to access freely. Join in and discover the positive changes that happen when we learn to truly rest.
Class length: 45min
What to bring: a light cover (blanket), your favorite yoga mat (if you have one), any bolsters/cushion you may need to lie comfortably, comfy clothing.
Level: Suitable for all. Age 16+. No previous experience in meditation or yoga required.
Suggested price: $12 (minimum $2 donation)
For more information contact Yogatara at info@isha-institute.com or 2078010147

Every Sunday
We play new & old board games, card games, dice games, word games, tile games, team games... bring your favorites! Everyone welcome.

Every 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Friday

This is a physical practice that prepares us for meditation. A typical class involves breathwork, Sanskrit mantras (repeating exotic words out loud), physical poses and relaxation. I channel my heart-centered energy to bring you closer to your inner knowing. My method of teaching is by awakening love. Think of me as a Love Alchemist! By the end of the night you’ll feel more uplifted and confident. What a great way to start the weekend!

I started taking yoga to be more comfortable in my body. I continued as a student because it helped me notice my thoughts. It is an honor to be of service to you and let my compassionate animal and spirit guides work through me to bring you closer to your own inner teacher. I enjoy working with my shamanic guides because I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders and it is awesome not to have to do all the heavy lifting alone.

Please bring a mat, strap, block, towel, bolster, blanket, water, journal, pencil and an open mind.
Class cost is $13. Or just come and pay what you can! All levels are welcome.

Every 2nd Monday

We invite you to join our open women's group at The Gatherings on the 2nd Monday of each month from 7 to 8:30pm.
This is a safe and supportive space to come together in community. The format will be a brief opening meditation and then each person that wishes will have a chance to confidentially share for a few minutes. After a few moments of silence, we move to the next person. If time, at the end, we have the option to open the group up to discussion on a topic of interest and/or if anyone would like to receive input on anything in particular.
Please do your best to arrive 5 minutes early as it is most supportive to the group dynamics that everyone has had a chance to come together in the space before sharing.
$2/person. All group fees go directly supporting The Gatherings.
For more information and to RSVP for the group please email Kalindi at kdinoffer@gmail.com or call 214-334-0711
