    Spill The T.E.A. Community Circle

    Orlando · Spiral Circle Bookstore & More, 750 N Thornton Ave

    This monthly in-person community circle offers a gentle pause to slow down through the lens of Time, Expectations, and Access. It is a welcoming place to land in your body, in your real life, and in what is true right now. Together, participants explore how time can feel stretched, rushed, stuck, or out of rhythm, how expectations show up as shoulds, roles, inner pressure, and inherited standards, and how access relates to capacity, support, resources, boundaries, and what is genuinely available. It can be a supportive fit if you have been carrying a lot and need space to exhale, if you feel distant from your needs or inner clarity, if you are in a season of transition and want steadier footing, or if you want meaningful community without any pressure to overshare. You are welcome exactly as you are. Facilitation is led by Colette McLeod, a Licensed Therapist and facilitator who supports individuals and groups in reconnecting with themselves through grounded reflection, nervous system truth telling, and a blend of modern and ancient practices. Her approach centers sustainable change by honoring what is real without abandoning yourself in the process.

    Wellness Roundtable

The group will also consider when not to rely on AI, including privacy concerns, the risk of misinformation, and the limits of these tools, with a clear emphasis that AI complements rather than replaces medical professionals. This is a hands-on conversation, not a lecture, with opportunities to share ideas and try tools together. Participants are encouraged to bring a phone and their questions. No prior AI experience is necessary, whether these tools are already part of your routine or you have never tried ChatGPT. Villager IDs or Village Guest passes are required, and RSVPs are not needed.

    Rekindle Your Magic: An Astrological and Restorative Immersion for Transformation and Empowerment

    Inverness · Full Circle Retreats, 9150 S Brittany Path

    Designed for women who have long kept everything going for others yet feel drained inside, this astrology-guided, restorative retreat invites a slower rhythm, steadier nerves, and a renewed sense of freedom. Set at Full Circle Retreats, a serene mini-farm in Inverness, FL, the land itself supports the experience with quiet forest paths, nearby springs, and the calming presence of animals that have been rescued. The atmosphere encourages you to breathe more easily, listen inwardly, and remember your natural pace. Across this immersive journey, participants are guided through contemplative and embodied practices that help the body unwind and the mind settle. Gentle modalities may include Yoga Nidra, sound-based relaxation such as a water-supported sound bath, unhurried time in nature, creative expression, and reflective inquiry shaped by the symbolism of the stars. The focus is not on effort or performance. It centers on safety, rhythm, and presence so inner wisdom can reawaken in its own time. Nourishment extends to the table with shared outdoor meals that feature local flavors and a cozy, communal setting, creating a warm sense of connection. This experience resonates with thoughtful, capable women whose lives look orderly on the surface yet feel tired in ways ordinary rest has not resolved. It suits those who value depth without overload, a grounded approach to spirituality, and restoration without pressure to fix themselves. It is not intended for high-intensity activation or constant stimulation. Participants typically leave with practical, integrative tools and a felt memory of ease that can be carried into everyday life. Expect a more regulated nervous system, more self-trust and clearer insight, a healthier relationship with rest and intuition, and vitality grounded in being rather than endless doing. The invitation is to reclaim the quiet spark that has been there all along and to return to daily life with more steadiness, clarity, and a sense of home within yourself.

It welcomes those who are new to aerial yoga as well as practitioners looking to explore their practice in a fresh way, and it is best suited for participants who already have a yoga practice and know basic poses. Led by Stephanie Adames, E-CYT500, whose professional aerial yoga training and safety-first approach provide attentive, hands-on guidance in a small-group setting. Capacity is limited to five hammocks for personalized attention. The full series is $100. Hammocks have a 250 lb weight limit.

    Nine Days

    Tampa · Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Rd

    Nine Days performs live at Skipper’s, bringing hook-filled rock shaped by perseverance and reinvention. Formed in 1994 by John Hampson and Brian Desveaux on Long Island, the band broke through with the chart-topping Absolutely (Story of a Girl), which propelled The Madding Crowd to gold status. After an unreleased follow-up paused their momentum, life took the members in new directions before they regrouped in 2014, writing in Nashville with collaborators such as Joe West, Bruce Wallace, Phil Barton and Zac Maloy. Those sessions yielded the studio album Snapshots, a return to driving guitars and singable melodies with a subtle country influence. Songs from that period include the anthemic Greenlight and the reflective Snapshot, along with a newly recorded version of Absolutely produced by Jim Scott. The group’s story centers on growth, reflection and songs that connect, setting the stage for an evening of melodic rock.

    FCPA Silver River Race

    Silver Springs · Ray Wayside Park

    Free

    The Florida Competition Paddlers Association opens its 2027 paddling season with the 52nd Silver River Race at Ray Wayside Park in Silver Springs. All paddle craft are welcome, with options for both a short course and a longer route. Entry is free, though the park collects a $7 day-use fee per vehicle. Racing starts from the boat basin at Ray Wayside Park near where State Road 40 meets the Ocklawaha River. Short course participants turn left on exiting the basin, travel roughly a half mile downstream past the confluence to the Highway 40 bridge, then reverse course to head back up the Silver River, continue past the basin entrance, loop the first island, and return to the basin for approximately 5 miles total. Long course paddlers turn right from the basin, go upstream around Monkey Island, then head back to finish a route of about 9.1 miles. Expect clear water and a steady current a little over one mile per hour, with frequent sightings of alligators, turtles, fish, and abundant birdlife... sometimes even the local monkeys. The river is popular, so you may encounter recreational paddlers and a few motorboats, and the waterway is no wake throughout. Ray Wayside Park offers restrooms, two boat ramps, and a hand launch. Unload in the staging area near the hand launch before parking. Avoid spaces reserved for vehicles with trailers to prevent fines, and use overflow parking across the grass to the west or outside the park if needed, keeping in mind the day-use fee still applies. On-site registration is required for all competitors. After the race, FCPA plans a luncheon, annual meeting, and 2026 awards presentation, with details to be announced.

    Jesse Lee and Cameron Wrinkle

    The Villages · Hotel Eastport, 967 Beeber Ct

    Eastport Hotel hosts a singer songwriter concert featuring Nashville collaborators Jessee Lee and Cameron Wrinkle. Rooted in country and Americana, they frequently share original songs in intimate acoustic formats like writers rounds and song swaps, highlighting the easy rapport of two artists who regularly create and tour together. Jessee Lee is a Nashville recording artist and Texas touring act known for sharp, heartfelt writing and a rich, soulful voice that blends vintage country with soul influences. Early years gigging throughout the Texas Hill Country shaped her debut album, Dive Bar Superstar, which produced Texas radio entries including Where He Ain’t and the title track. Her resume includes performances with Pure Prairie League, Darryl Worley, Radney Foster, William Beckmann, and Kix Brooks, along with appearances at venues such as Gruene Hall, Luckenbach Dancehall, John T. Floore’s Country Store, and AT&T Stadium, plus festivals ranging from the Key West Songwriter Festival to Montana’s Forever West Fest. She has been recognized as Songwriter of the Year at the TIR Awards and won the Gruene Studios Songwriter Competition in Gruene, Texas. Raised around the craft by her father, Grammy-nominated and Texas Hall of Fame songwriter David Lee, she brings a storyteller’s touch to every set. Since 2022 she has also written with veterans through Operation Song at Warrior’s Heart Rehab. Cameron Wrinkle, a fifth generation musician from Tuscola, Texas, began writing songs in high school while working as a ranch hand, then spent several years in Nashville refining his skills. Now an independent Texas artist touring across the United States, he delivers an energetic, cowboy-influenced show shaped by traditional country, Texas red dirt, and a rock edge. His performances weave classic country covers with originals co-written alongside hit Nashville writers. He has shared stages with Josh Turner, Joe Nichols, Tracy Byrd, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, The Oakridge Boys, Chris Cagle, Wilder Blue, Ward Davis, and Bryan Martin. His first album, In My Heaven, was released in 2023. Ticket information will be available soon.

    Carbon Leaf

    Tampa · Skipper's Smokehouse, 910 Skipper Rd

    Carbon Leaf shares folk-infused indie rock rooted in rich harmonies and a blend of acoustic and electric sounds. The Richmond, Virginia group marks a new chapter with Time is the Playground, a 12 song collection reflecting on time, love, and personal growth. Their history stretches from college cover band beginnings to a national breakthrough with The Boxer, which earned recognition at the American Music Awards and opened the door to wide radio play. With more than 3,500 energetic performances, the band pairs storytelling with melody while steering its own path. After charting albums with Vanguard Records, they returned to full independence, recording at their home-built Two Car Studio and releasing music on their Constant Ivy imprint, even re-recording earlier albums to regain rights. The new material ranges from intimate reflections to the era-tinged rush of Backmask 1983, where gritty guitar and bright synths nod to both analog memories and digital horizons. Tireless touring remains central to their approach as they showcase their first full-length album in ten years.
