For the FIRST time ever, we have a GUEST teacher, Charlotte, talking about the powerful Astrological events taking place February 17th AND a first ever New Moon manifestation ritual! On Tuesday, February 17th, there is a New Moon in Aquarius, a solar eclipse, and the Lunar New year. Guest teacher Charlotte, Astrology expert and powerful Channeler, will talk about these events, what they mean to us, and how they connect to Tarot. We will also guide you in the first for this class New Moon ritual to harness the Aquarian energy to help manifest our goals for this month and year. At the end, we’ll practice pulling tarot cards for guidance for this new moon cycle. Please bring your own deck(s), if you have it. Since this is a special event, we ask for $15 from everyone, only if you are able - half of the procedes will go to Quest Bookshop for generously hosting us, and the other half will go to the guest teacher for their time. (If you’re unable to contribute at this time, please still attend and bring your energy to help build our community. ^*^)The class is officially 1.5 hours, but please feel free to stay longer if you'd like more practice or have any questions. ^*^

All players must RSVP. Please be on time (i.e. arrive 10-20 minutes early)! Everyone must bring their own light and dark shirt (no greys or in-between pastels). No sliding tackles No studded cleats (flats or turf shoes only) No bad attitudes - we play hard, but we all just want to have fun and get some exercise. It ain't that serious ;) Please bring $3 cash to pay at the game - there's no venmo account dedicated to the group.

**Join us for the first official walk of Power Walkers Universe (PWU)** — a global community without borders where **fitness, friendship, and belonging** come alive. We’ll gather, stretch, and set out on a refreshing walk together. Whether you’re here to build stamina, meet new friends, or simply enjoy moving in community, **you belong here**. **What to bring:** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and your great energy. **Walk at Your Own Pace** Prospect Park’s loop is about 3.35 miles. Everyone is welcome to walk at the pace that feels right for them: * **Brisk walkers** can move at a faster pace and finish the loop sooner. * **Leisure walkers** can take their time, enjoy the scenery, and finish at a comfortable pace. There are multiple entrances and exits throughout the park, so if you prefer to walk a shorter distance, you’ll have options to join or leave the loop without pressure. No matter your pace, there will always be someone walking near your rhythm — **you won’t be left behind.** The goal is movement, connection, and community — not competition. Whether you complete the whole loop or just part of it, **you’re part of the Power Walkers Universe.** A walk for every pace — brisk or leisurely, you belong here. Every step counts — your pace is the right pace here. 📍 **Meeting Point** We’ll meet at **Grand Army Plaza, on the Flatbush Avenue side, directly across from the Brooklyn Public Library (main entrance)**. This is the same area where the Farmers Market is usually held. Look for us gathered near the plaza entrance before we head into the park together. PS: As we grow, other days and times will be added.

**Intro:** On Sunday Feb 22, we will be celebrating National Margarita Day 2026. This tradition dates back to February 22 2009 for passionate fans of the drink that wanted it during the winter. That tradition is celebrated around the nation and BromptonNYC will do the same. Expect a nice day of social adventure cycling ending with food and drinks. **Meetup:** We will meet in front of the Maine Monument in Central Park, by Columbus Circle. This is the large fountain at the corner where Central Park West and South meet. Please be on time as wheels up is 11:15am. We will not wait for anyone and you will be responsible for catching up. **The Ride:** This ride will be classified at the intermediate level. Although there is not much elevation, riders should be comfortable riding in an urban environment and along traffic at certain sections. Although not the longest ride, we will have two points of interests along the way. The first will be Rykers Island. Yes, we will stop just outside Rykers Island. The second will be at LGA Airport for a restroom break. For those that seek a little adventure and off the beaten path, well you found it.The distance is around 15 miles. The ride will terminate at Coatzingo. Train service is available to the city across the street.

Women Over Dinner is a facilitated shared-meal experience designed to create a rare kind of space for women: one where each voice is heard, each woman is seen, and the most vital part of her has room to come forward. Around a table and a simple meal, women move through a thoughtfully structured format that allows for personal reflection and expression without interruption, feedback, or cross-talk. This creates an atmosphere of dignity, presence, and deep listening — something many women rarely experience in daily life. At its heart, Women Over Dinner is based on a simple premise: women carry an inherent power and value that is not dependent on circumstances, roles, or conditions. When women gather in the right environment, that sense of self-worth and inner strength naturally reawakens. From that place, women relate differently to themselves, to one another, and to the world around them. Join us for our next dinner on February 19th at 6pm in Harlem. Once you register through eventbrite, you will get details for attending. You must RSVP through eventbrite to attend. RSVP here: https://WomenOverDinnerHarlemFeb19.eventbrite.com \*\*Watch our video from our first ever Women Over Dinner in a Correctional Facility at Taconic:\*\*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P__BfaiYF-0&t=4s **Check out a short video about Women Over Dinner:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_5KZSrSymE&t=2sWe look forward to seeing you there.
