FIND YOUR PEOPLE: Weekly Community Circle
Connect with kind, open minded people in a relaxed community circle hosted by The Spirit University. Newcomers and returning participants meet for easy conversation, shared laughter, and moments of reflection in a welcoming space where you can be yourself. There are no forced icebreakers, no obligation to speak, and no prior experience needed. It is a good fit if you are exploring a spiritual path, are new to the area, or simply want meaningful connections with curious, encouraging people. Many attend for the first time without knowing anyone and leave feeling they have found a community. Admission is $15.
Yoga By the Bay
A free outdoor yoga class led by certified instructor Erin Collins is offered weekly as a gift to the community. Each one hour session welcomes all experience levels, from first timers to seasoned practitioners, and focuses on mindful movement, steady breathing, and cultivating everyday gratitude. This long running gathering emphasizes affirming messages about the beauty of life, personal worth, and releasing shame while creating space to connect with others and reconnect with yourself. Participants are encouraged to bring a mat, water, and an open heart.
