Tai chi (also spelled Taiji Quan) teaches us to float like clouds and flow like water, yet have the quiet inner strength of a mountain. Come learn, in exquisite detail, a basic series of Yang Style Tai Chi movements, suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced students who wish to experience a fresh approach while greatly expanding their skill and understanding.
Ken Cohen’s emphasis is on quality—each posture contains a world of information about relaxation, alignment, grounding, and inner strength. These principles are important not only for health, but to improve ability in any sport, including the martial arts. The class also includes an introduction to the science behind Tai Chi and how it promotes longevity and harmony with nature.

"Hadestown: Teen Edition" is an intriguing and beautiful full-length adaptation of the fantastic folk opera that delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.

More than a book, this is an invitation to The Belonging Project, a growing movement of small circles dedicated to deep listening, authentic connection, and remembering what it means to be human together.
We don't need to agree to belong. Beneath our differences, we are already connected.
Join us Sunday, November 1, at noon after the Unity service to celebrate the book, meet the author, and discover how you can join this growing movement. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

The 2026 Sierra Nevada Conservation Conference invites participants to explore how a deeper relationship with the Sierra can strengthen conservation, stewardship, and community action. Inspired by keynote speaker Kat Anderson’s work honoring Indigenous knowledge and the reciprocal relationships between people and the natural world, the conference will examine the many ways we come to know, care for, and belong to this region. Through presentations, conversations, art, research, and shared learning, attendees will consider how cultural knowledge, community engagement, equitable access, environmental education, advocacy, and hands-on stewardship can help us move beyond simply protecting nature toward living in a more attentive and reciprocal relationship with it.

Join Michael Stone for a 21-week journey inspired by his new book, The Wisdom of Belonging. Together, we'll create a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore the deeper work of healing the wounds that separate us and rediscovering our essential wholeness.
Through meditation, embodied awareness, deep listening, authentic sharing, and relational practices, we'll move beyond simply talking about belonging to experiencing and cultivating it in our lives.
We don't need to agree to belong. We need to learn how to be present with one another, even in our differences.

Beginning Thursday, November 5 | 1:00–2:30 PM
What does it mean to truly belong—to ourselves, one another, and the living world?
Join Michael Stone for a 21-week journey inspired by his new book, The Wisdom of Belonging. Together, we'll create a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore the deeper work of healing the wounds that separate us and rediscovering our essential wholeness.
Through meditation, embodied awareness, deep listening, authentic sharing, and relational practices, we'll move beyond simply talking about belonging to experiencing and cultivating it in our lives.
We don't need to agree to belong. We need to learn how to be present with one another, even in our differences.
To participate: Sign up at Unity in the Gold Country or email Michael@WellofLight.com.

What does it mean to truly belong—to ourselves, one another, and the living world?
Join Michael Stone for a 21-week journey inspired by his new book, The Wisdom of Belonging. Together, we'll create a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore the deeper work of healing the wounds that separate us and rediscovering our essential wholeness.
Through meditation, embodied awareness, deep listening, authentic sharing, and relational practices, we'll move beyond simply talking about belonging to experiencing and cultivating it in our lives.
We don't need to agree to belong. We need to learn how to be present with one another, even in our differences.
To participate: Sign up at Unity in the Gold Country or email Michael@WellofLight.com.

Join Michael Stone for a 21-week journey inspired by his new book, The Wisdom of Belonging. Together, we'll create a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore the deeper work of healing the wounds that separate us and rediscovering our essential wholeness.
Through meditation, embodied awareness, deep listening, authentic sharing, and relational practices, we'll move beyond simply talking about belonging to experiencing and cultivating it in our lives.
We don't need to agree to belong. We need to learn how to be present with one another, even in our differences.

The Belonging Project Circle
Nevada City Chamber
The Belonging Project — Circles at Unity
Beginning Thursday, November 5 | 1:00–2:30 PM
What does it mean to truly belong—to ourselves, one another, and the living world?
Join Michael Stone for a 21-week journey inspired by his new book, The Wisdom of Belonging. Together, we'll create a safe, confidential, and compassionate space to explore the deeper work of healing the wounds that separate us and rediscovering our essential wholeness.
Through meditation, embodied awareness, deep listening, authentic sharing, and relational practices, we'll move beyond simply talking about belonging to experiencing and cultivating it in our lives.
We don't need to agree to belong. We need to learn how to be present with one another, even in our differences.
To participate: Sign up at Unity in the Gold Country or email Michael@WellofLight.com.
All are welcome.

Playwriting Group
Tourism GoNevadaCounty.com
All playwrights welcome! Whether playwriting is new to you or you're already an accomplished playwright, come join this on-going bi-weekly writers' group. We'll spend our time focusing on our writing, but with that magical element of doing so within the presence of others. Come discover the amazing experience of writing within the context of a group. Bring your computer, notebook, iPad, or whatever you like to use for writing. We share resources, discuss our goals and challenges, even provide feedback, but the primary focus of the group is to work on your own play! We'll do a check-in/discussion at the beginning of the meeting, then write in silence, and check-out at the end of our session. Contact Kimberly for the location and to answer any questions you may have.
