All-Day Vipassana Meditation Retreat

Set aside everyday noise and settle into a full day of silent insight meditation in a supportive setting designed to deepen awareness and steady attention. Grounded in the Vipassana tradition, the practice centers on mindful observation of breath, bodily sensations, thoughts, and feelings with balance and kindness, encouraging mental quiet, emotional steadiness, and a clearer view of patterns of mind. The day begins with foundational guidance, then gradually shifts to lighter instruction to allow for sustained self-observation. Silent practice is maintained throughout, with alternating periods of sitting and walking meditation that help build continuity. A mindful lunch is included with a vegetarian meal, and the retreat closes with a short reflection to integrate the experience before returning to speaking. This retreat welcomes experienced meditators seeking to go deeper, beginners who are at ease with extended quiet, and anyone looking for clarity and calm. To support focus, participants are asked to refrain from using phones, reading materials, and other distractions. Comfortable clothing is recommended, and bringing a meditation cushion or mat and water is suggested, along with an open and receptive mindset. Cost is $66.

SMILEY EVERY AFTER COMEDY SHOW TOUR⭐️Bob & Sarah Smiley at Funny Pharm Comedy Club- Goshen, IN

Bob and Sarah Smiley bring their "Love isn’t That funny" tour to Funny Pharm Comedy Club in Goshen, sharing a two-show run that finds humor in the highs and hiccups of marriage from both sides of the aisle. Married for seven years, they trade stories and perspectives as a pair of opposites who are genuinely devoted to each other. Bob draws on more than 27 years on stage, with performances in theaters, churches, and festivals nationwide and five comedy specials, including three on DryBar. He created The Adventures of Average Boy for Focus on the Family’s Clubhouse magazine and its award-winning podcast, and he voiced Lowell the Snowman in the stop-motion film Steal the Naughty List. He also claims surprising strengths like expert mowing and collecting an impressive number of hotel shampoos. Sarah steps up as a daughter, wife, mother, teacher, and speaker who has wrestled with perfectionism, loss, and anxiety, and now delivers humor, hope, and hard-earned insight. She turns the daily chaos of raising five boys, plus Bob, into sharp, honest stories infused with biblical perspective. Together they offer a candid, funny look at relationships told through a husband-and-wife lens.

A plein air paint out at Wellfield Botanic Gardens in Elkhart, Indiana offers a chance to explore 36 acres of diverse botanical scenery and to scout the grounds for future events. Set within an active well field, the landscape blends manicured gardens with wilder spaces and abundant water features, creating ideal conditions for studying reflections and light. Subjects include the tranquil Japanese Island Garden with its wooden pavilion, the colorful Quilt Garden, waterfalls, and sculptures. A half-mile Promenade links 18 distinct garden areas, and the mostly paths suitable for wheels make it easier to move gear with a cart or wagon. As a popular public destination, the gardens often draw friendly conversations and onlookers, which is part of the paint out spirit. Bring a lunch, and note that admission is $10.

Watchhouse

Watchhouse, the North Carolina based duo of Andrew Marlin & Emily Frantz, have announced a new studio album called Rituals, due out May 30, 2025 via Tiptoe Tiger Music / Thirty Tigers. The collection marks the pair’s first release of all new, original songs since their 2021 self-titled album, which earned praise from Rolling Stone (“pristine acoustic picking collides with hazy, dream-like psychedelia”) Mojo, NPR Music, American Songwriter and more. Starting over a decade ago playing coffee shops and local restaurants around North Carolina, Watchhouse is a grassroots success story that’s been driven by Marlin’s poignant songwriting. With sold-out shows at legendary venues like Red Rocks and the Ryman Auditorium, and hundreds of millions of streams, they’ve earned a reputation for creating music that “redefines roots music for a younger generation” (Washington Post). The duo – now with a family of their own – are two singers and musicians with profound chemistry, performing earnest yet masterfully crafted songs that encompass the unknowable mysteries, existential heartbreak, and communal joys of modern life. The forthcoming album is no exception.

Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band

When it comes to the blues today, there are a handful of guiding lights to make sure the music stays true to its history. For Jimmie Vaughan, he's dedicated his life to making sure the blues not only stays alive, but remains full of life and an inspiration to all who listen. It's a spirit he holds close to him, and for almost 60 years, Vaughan isn't about to stop now. As a bandleader, singer and guitarist, the four time Grammy Award winner, Jimmie Vaughan is a master of how everything is captured for posterity. "Playing what you feel has always been my main goal," Vaughan says. Considering the Texas guitarist and singer has had the kind of career that makes him a living legacy, those are no idle words. His first group when he was 13 years old played Dallas' Hob Nob Lounge six nights a week, learning the kind of lessons that can't be taught, they have to be lived. Getting the chance to open for Jimi Hendrix when he was 16 years old along with being heavily influenced by B.B. King, Muddy Waters, Albert King, Freddie King and so many more, convinced the young Vaughan it was time to find a way to play the music he felt the strongest about: the blues. That took him to hitchhiking to Austin in the early 70's and carving out a new crew of blues players who shared his musical excitement. He formed The Fabulous Thunderbirds and their debut album "Girls Go Wild" on Takoma Records was released in 1979. After worldwide success with The Fabulous Thunderbirds during the 80's, it came time to leave the band and build his own path in exploring different approaches to the blues. He and his brother Stevie Ray Vaughan collaborated and released "Family Style" to great acclaim and recognition in the music industry. He then released his first solo album on Epic Records in the early 90's and what Vaughan discovered was that he could take it anywhere; there were no boundaries. "I wanted to find out what I could really do," he says, "and when I started singing it gave me a whole new side to explore. When I was young I didn't really pay much attention to categories of music. I just heard what I liked and decided to explore that and that's really what I'm still doing." Jimmie is continuing his love affair with and staying spiritually connected to the American music he loves.

Darci Lynne

Darci Lynne turned 21 in 2025. As an actor, singer, and ventriloquist, she was just 12 years old when she paired her love of music with a traditionally male-dominated art form, captivating audiences across the country on NBC's America's Got Talent. She became one of the youngest winners in the show's history-and the youngest ventriloquist ever to win a televised talent competition-garnering over 90 million views on AGT's YouTube channel and earning a finalist performance that remains one of the most-watched in franchise history. Before her breakout win, she appeared on Little Big Shots in 2016. Her Golden Buzzer performance on AGT quickly became one of the most-viewed acts in the show's history. Her 2017 win was followed by her highly rated 2018 NBC Christmas special My Hometown Christmas, featuring Toby Keith and Kristin Chenoweth and reaching over 9 million households, as well as a 50-stop U.S. tour that sold more than 100,000 tickets and grossed $5.2 million-all while she was still in middle school. Darci Lynne has been credited with transforming the face and popularity of ventriloquism, making the art form a female-driven force through her talent, stagecraft, and social media presence. Fans have embraced her colorful cast of puppets-Petunia, Oscar, Edna, and Andy-each brought to life with distinct personalities.
