Morning Glow Flow

A $5 drop-in, somatic-inspired vinyasa class designed to ease into the morning with gentle, breath-centered movement. Sessions move slowly and intentionally, weaving soft spinal waves and intuitive transitions to create a sense of spaciousness in the body and steadiness in the mind. You can look forward to grounding standing shapes, open hips, simple twists, and quiet pauses to notice how each movement resonates.

This practice suits beginners and experienced yogis alike who want a short flow they can return to, a focus on feeling over form, a mindful way to wake the body and nervous system, and a calm, grounded start to the day. Please bring exact change, as there is no cash on site to make change.

Unlock the Power of Feeling: Where Healing Begins (1 pm)

At The Expansion Center, guest teacher Nayibe “Gigi” from EnCompass leads a hands-on session that treats emotions as guides instead of barriers. Participants will explore how thoughts and feelings influence one another, then practice accessible tools such as guided imagery, thought reframing, and meditation to shift from stress and overload toward clarity, equilibrium, and a stronger sense of empowerment. The emphasis is on practical application, encouraging a new relationship with feelings so that understanding them becomes a doorway to healing. Gigi’s background spans conventional and holistic care. She was born in Bogotá, Colombia and earned a dentistry degree from Universidad El Bosque in 1992. An early interest in complementary and Eastern approaches led her to study Shiatsu to ease anxiety for patients, friends, and family. After relocating to the United States in 1999, she experienced periods of anxiety and depression and pursued a more integrative path when traditional methods alone did not bring lasting relief. Beginning in 2019 she deepened her practice through Reiki and meditation, work that helped her move beyond panic attacks and reconnect with balance and inner peace. She became an Angelic Reiki Practitioner in 2021, trained in Cognitive Coaching, and earned a Life Coach certification from the Synchrony Center in Fort Lauderdale the same year. Her studies now include Crystal Therapy and Akashic Records to uncover patterns that can shape physical health, emotions, and relationships, and she also offers energetic clearing for homes and workplaces. In 2022 she founded EnCompass, integrating multiple modalities to personalize support, with a focus on teaching others to build awareness, practical tools, and inner guidance for their own transformational path.

Helmet For Hops

A welcoming hills ride invites cyclists of all experience levels to sample the Loess Hills with a friendly group format. The ride gathers at Jackson Street Brewery East, travels toward the Jefferson Bridge, then returns to the starting point. Expect rolling hills and steady climbs, with a regroup at the Highway 12 and K18 intersection. Riders choose a comfortable pace, staying steady on descents and taking it easy on climbs. This is a no-drop outing with a ride leader and a sweep to support the group. Helmets are required, and bringing one inside afterward earns $1 off a beer. In the event of severe weather, plans may be adjusted or canceled.

Morning Glow Flow

Settle into a $5 drop-in morning vinyasa class with a somatic approach that centers breath, smooth spinal waves, and easy, intuitive transitions to cultivate a sense of space in the body and steadiness in the mind. The pace is slow and intentional, with attention on breathing and sensation, inviting curiosity rather than push or performance. Expect gentle undulations through the spine, steady standing poses, open-hip shapes, simple twists, and unhurried pauses to feel the aftereffects of movement. It is designed to meet you exactly where you are at the start of the day, encouraging listening instead of fixing and sensing instead of striving. This session suits anyone seeking a short morning flow to return to, beginner-friendly or all-levels gentle vinyasa, a somatic practice that values feeling over form, a mindful way to wake up the body and nervous system, and a calm, grounding beginning to the day. Please bring exact payment, as there is no cash available on site to make change.

Hickey holds a PhD from the University of Illinois and specializes in early American and military history.

HERd Sense - An Equine Assisted Therapy Group for High School Girls

Prairie River Counseling and STARS Inc present a four-session equine assisted psychotherapy group designed for high school girls preparing for a new school year. The series focuses on building confidence, strengthening self-worth, improving communication, and fostering genuine connection with self and others. Across the four weeks, participants explore forming healthy relationships, cultivating positive body image and self-esteem, navigating challenges with effective communication and problem solving, and weaving these skills into everyday life. Sessions use an experiential, ground-based approach with no riding. A STARS equine specialist and a therapist are present when working with the horses. Activities vary by group goals and may include grooming and observing the herd, storytelling, creative exercises, or structured tasks alongside the horses. This modality brings horses into the therapeutic process, offering an option for teens who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy, prefer to move and work hands-on, or simply appreciate time with equine partners that can reflect emotions and responses like co-therapists. The group meets outdoors when weather allows, so dressing for conditions is encouraged. Water is available, and many participants bring their own water, bug spray, and sunscreen if needed. Cost is $120 with payment plans available, and the event is non-refundable unless canceled by the host. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited to 10 teens.
