A unique class that combines astrology with intention setting and vinyasa flow. Suitable for all levels, this class provides a holistic approach to wellness and self-care. Mats, blocks, and blankets are available for use. Connect with yourself and the stars in this transformative experience. Join us at Mind’s Eye Plants + Yoga for an evening of transformation as we honor the New Moon in Taurus. As the first signs of a new age begin to stir, we invite you to move beyond the old veils and recommit to your own personal truths. Earlier this season, we faced the realization that some things are so fundamentally broken that we have no choice but to move differently. Now, with the energy of “what is seen cannot be unseen” still fresh, we transition from internal realization to outward action. This lunation asks: how can you work with your deepest shadows to redefine your concept of what you deserve? Event Details: When: Thursday\, May 14th \| 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Investment: $24 per person (or save with a 4-class pack) Included: Mats, blocks, and blankets are all provided for your comfort Our Evening Together: * Astrological Discussion: Explore the shift from physical security to emotional alchemy. * Gentle Flow: A movement practice designed to work directly with the cosmic energies. * Guided Journaling: Raw, unedited writing to clear illusions and reveal our inner truths. * Community Connection: Space to commune and share with others in our Round Rock sanctuary. * Guided Meditation: A grounding practice to help you evolve and embrace the choices ahead. It is time to evolve and shape a new experience of the world. Whether you are rebuilding from a “zero point” or simply seeking to align with your biggest dreams, find your seat with us Come as you are. Let’s sit with the energy and find our center together. Only 7 spots available for this intimate circle.  All props (mats, blankets, blocks) provided. Please note this event is held after normal retail hours.

**Come out and enjoy live music, food, and fun at Lakeline Park! Bring your lawn chair or share a blanket and relax by the lake while enjoying free live entertainment** **Deets from park and rec with some Heather advice sprinkled in:** **There will be food and beverage trucks available starting at 6:30, and the concert starts at 7. There will also be yard games, bubbles and other “kids” activities (that I may or may not also enjoy) and there are some other things as well. Feel free to bring your outdoor activity of choice as appropriate. I have brought my “big” camera, some people bring balls, etc. Maybe I will bring some sort of creative activity to share. We’ll see what Heather feels like on the occasion.** **Dog friendly, inclusive activity.** **I will attempt to arrive by 6 to pick a group spot. I tend to sit farther from the stage to reduce the volume a little bit. Feel free to come and go as necessary. I will hopefully remember to bring both of my picnic blankets which I am happy to share. I recommend bringing your lawn chair if you have one, especially if you have mobility issues.** **This is the final of Live @ Lakeline 2026 concerts and this week is the WILCO Symphony.**

## Sunday, May 17, 2026 / 1:30- 3:30pm Mind’s Eye Plants – 100 E. Main St. Suite 202, Round Rock, TX \*All Levels Welcome!! \*This is a monthly event **$25.00** **[Register Here.](https://dailyreikiaustin.com/round-rock-reiki-share/)** ## A Space For Those Who Practice Reiki To Come Home To Themselves. ## Whether you’re newly attuned or have years of experience, (or even years of inexperience) this in-person Reiki Share is where your practice deepens, your energy resets, and you remember why you started. ## **What This Is** This isn’t a class. This isn’t a performance. And you don’t have to prove anything here. This is a **Reiki Share for people who have been attuned to Reiki (any kind)** —a space to practice, receive, and connect with others who understand the quiet, powerful language of energy work. You’ll give Reiki. You’ll receive Reiki. And you’ll leave feeling more like yourself again. ## **You’ll Want to Be Here** Because even practitioners need support. Because giving all the time without receiving wears you down. Because your intuition sharpens when you’re in a room with others doing the same work. Because sometimes you just need to **lay down, breathe, and let someone else hold the space for you.** ## **What to Expect** * A welcoming, judgment-free environment * Guided opening to settle your energy and focus your awareness * Structured hands-on Reiki exchange (so everyone gives and receives) * Time for quiet reflection and integration * Optional sharing and connection (no pressure to speak) No egos. No hierarchy. Just real practice. ## **Who This Is For** This space is for people who: * Are attuned to Reiki (Level 1, 2, or Master) * Want to **practice without pressure** * Are craving **connection with like-minded people** * Feel a little disconnected from their practice and want to come back to it * Know that receiving is just as important as giving If that’s you—you’ll fit right in. ## Sunday, May 17, 2026 / 1:30- 3:30pm Mind’s Eye Plants – 100 E.

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
