Volunteers Only Night
Volunteers Only Night
We will be open ONLY for volunteers who want to work on our donated bicycles OR if you have your own bike to work on. Everyone else will be turned away. Sorry but we want to reserve this time for fixing up bikes for our various upcoming community programs. Some help and guidance will be offered but be prepared to work mostly on your own. We want to give time back to all our hard-working volunteers who have been so essential.
Vintage Cube at Your Hobby Place - Old Town Alexandria
Vintage Cube at Your Hobby Place - Old Town Alexandria
**NEW UPDATE:** Additional members of the cubing community have reached out to me and we all agree, the more cubing the better! I have removed the 12 person limit and we are adding an overflow cube for those also interested in non vintage type cubes! These guest cubes may consist of the following: \- Alex's Enchantment Cube: [Enchanted to Meet You](https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/enchantedCube)! \- Matthew's Avatar cube: [Avatar: The Last Airbender Power(ful) Cube](https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/avatarTLA) Priority will still fall to firing the vintage cube but what this means is if we reach 12 members we can offer the option to fire both cubes at 6 and 6 or just the vintage cube at 2 pods each. If we reach over 12 we will divide up the players between the two cubes with earlier RSVPs getting priority on their choice. If you have a cube that you are interested in having as a spill over cube please reach out to me and we can coordinate. Thank you! Come join and casually draft a vintage cube that is open to everyone. No cost to enter! The store provides promo booster packs and I usually throw in a pack of the most recent standard set to award to the people with the best records at the end of the night. [What is Cube?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDBTRG6keM) What: Vintage Cube Draft When: 6:00pm Where: Your Hobby Place in Old Town Alexandria (Your Hobby Place, 700 N Washington St, Alexandria, VA 22314) We aim to start drafting shortly after 6:00pm as the store's register closes at 9:00pm. The store owner is kind enough to keep the space open for us to finish rounds. In previous events we've usually wrapped up around 9:45. All skill levels are welcome and all cards, lands, tokens needed are provided so you only need to bring yourself and potentially some dice and playmat if you prefer. The list can be seen here: [https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/proxybacon](https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/proxybacon) Join Your Hobby Place's Discord and grab the Cube Role in the mtg-chat channel for the most up to date information on cube at their location: [https://discord.gg/9je3G8vzXh](https://discord.gg/9je3G8vzXh) **Important Notice:** I have seen an increased number of signups and no shows amongst brand new accounts. In an effort to make sure we have room for everyone if this is your first time joining and you have just created a meetup account please reach out to me via Meetup or discord. **Late Policy:** RSVPing will hold your spot for up to 10 minutes after 6. If you expect you may be running late please reach out to me via the store's discord. My username is iluvbacon610.

Rituals of the Planets: Vedic Astrology for Everyday Healing
Rituals of the Planets: Vedic Astrology for Everyday Healing
Overview A 2-hour workshop with Sherry Steine weaving Vedic astrology, breath & aromatherapy into grounded rituals for everyday balance and calm. ***[REGISTER HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rituals-of-the-planets-vedic-astrology-for-everyday-healing-tickets-1989400584702?aff=erellivmlt)*** **Rituals of the Planets: Vedic Astrology for Everyday Healing** Feeling energetically out of sync? This 2-hour experiential workshop is your invitation to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with the living wisdom of Vedic Astrology — using practices you can carry into everyday life: your breath, your senses, and your awareness. Through guided pranayama paired with planetary aromatherapy rituals, you'll learn simple, grounded ways to harmonize with planetary cycles, regulate your nervous system, and create real moments of balance in your daily rhythm. No astrology background, no Sanskrit, no experience required — just a willingness to notice and attune. ***[REGISTER HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rituals-of-the-planets-vedic-astrology-for-everyday-healing-tickets-1989400584702?aff=erellivmlt)*** **What you'll experience:** 🪐 Guided breathwork (pranayama) paired with planetary attunement 🪐 Hands-on aromatherapy rituals using essential oils aligned with the nine planetary archetypes (Navagraha) 🪐 A personal planetary ritual you can return to again and again — at home, at your altar, or in the middle of a hectic day 🪐 A gentle introduction to working with your own chart, offered as a doorway, not a doctrine 🪐 A grounded, pressure-free space designed to feel nourishing, not overwhelming **What you'll walk away with:** ✨ Practical, sustainable rituals that weave astrology into everyday life ✨ A deeper understanding of how planetary cycles influence your mood, energy, and sense of purpose ✨ A renewed sense of balance and connection to your inner rhythms ✨ A reminder that you are not separate from the cosmos — you are in conversation with it ***[REGISTER HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rituals-of-the-planets-vedic-astrology-for-everyday-healing-tickets-1989400584702?aff=erellivmlt)*** **Meet Your Guide:** Sherry Steine is a Yoga Therapist, Vedic Astrologer, and Certified Aromatherapist through the National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA). Her work weaves together the ancient sciences of Jyotish, yoga, and aromatherapy — offering planetary wisdom not as prediction, but as relationship. Through breath, scent, and subtle body awareness, she invites students to feel the cosmos as something near, not distant; something you live in conversation with, not under. Sherry's teaching centers on accessibility and embodiment, meeting each student where they are and offering practices that are both practical and meaningful. She is the author of *Aligned by the Stars: An Integrative Guide to Vedic Astrology and Aromatherapy for Life Challenges,*, and through her private work, educational offerings, and writing, she empowers individuals to engage with ritual and self-study in ways that feel grounded, intuitive, and sustainable. This workshop is facilitated in a trauma-informed, inclusive, and accessible manner. You are always invited — never instructed — to engage at your own comfort level. ***[REGISTER HERE](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rituals-of-the-planets-vedic-astrology-for-everyday-healing-tickets-1989400584702?aff=erellivmlt)*** This workshop is about attuning, remembering, and feeling held by something larger than yourself.
Pro-Animal Meetup
Pro-Animal Meetup
Speaker: Michelle Kleinhans is an avid native-plant gardener and nature lover who has transformed her conventional yard into a haven for wildlife. She will share with us fascinating facts about backyard fauna, explain why native plants are key to animal wellbeing and biodiversity, and steps you can take to protect local wildlife, even if you don't have a yard of your own. Finally, she will discuss how native-plant gardening relates to veganism and how one can practice animal-rights activism within the gardening community. Join your fellow animal lovers and DC Animal Protection to discuss what’s happening in the animal advocacy scene in DC! This series is a weekly meetup, with guest speakers from all of the major animals rights orgs. We’ll host non-profits such as Pro-Animal Future, International Council for Animal Welfare, DC Voters for Animals, The Humane League, Mercy for Animals and Direct Action Everywhere as well as local grassroots groups like the DC Coalition Against Foie Gras and sanctuaries. We’ll also have special sessions related to health, nutrition and mindfulness! We encourage anyone who is interested in helping animals to attend- no need to be vegan! Come learn about our rich variety of local activism. With protests, outreach, wheat-pasting, signature collecting, leafletting, lobbying, tabling etc. there’s something to match everyone’s comfort level and skill set. Coffee, bagels and community will be provided! Feel free to bring any extra treats to share (no animal products please.)

Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream!
