Fusion: Floating Sound Healing Experience
Troy · CenterPeace, 2605 Crooks Rd
Read moreRead lessSettle into a gentle, multi-sensory journey designed to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and invite restoration from within. Fusion, CenterPeace’s hallmark floating sound experience, welcomes guests into a thoughtfully prepared environment where natural or softly glowing light and subtle aromas ease the shift from daily pace to a slower, more grounded rhythm. As the body is fully supported, layered tones from crystal singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and resonant vibrations move through the space, turning sound into sensation. Breath deepens naturally, tension releases, and stillness grows. Nothing is required beyond arriving, floating, and allowing. Choose the setting that feels most supportive. Floating silk hammocks create a buoyant sensation that encourages profound physical release, grounded floor havens with memory foam cushions offer steady comfort close to the earth, and zero gravity chairs elevate the body to reduce pressure throughout the spine and joints. Each option is prepared with pillows, blankets, eye masks, and other gentle touches to enhance relaxation. Silk hammocks support up to 275 lbs, while zero gravity chairs and grounded havens have no weight restriction. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience. Every Fusion is created in collaboration with sound and vibrational practitioners, so each gathering carries its own energy and expression. The experience is facilitated by Jenna Tasker, founder of CenterPeace Healing and Events, who crafts immersive environments through sound, breath, and energetic awareness. Ticket options range from $40 to $50, with the Floating Silk Hammock at $50, the Grounded Floor Haven at $40, and the Zero Gravity Chair at $40 with limited availability.

This beginner-friendly workshop uses colorful scrap glass, with a wide variety of pre-cut pieces available so no cutting is required unless you want to try it. Your finished plate can be displayed on a wall or a shelf. Choose any theme that inspires you, such as flowers, a rainbow, or a clean geometric layout. Designs are assembled with a special tack glue, then the instructor takes each piece to be kiln fired and assembled. Finished projects are returned to the class location in about two weeks, and pickup details are sent by email. The project price is $58 and does not include a stand. An optional metal display stand can be purchased in class for $13. Covered drinks are welcome, including wine, but food is not permitted. If you opt to cut glass, expect to spend more time working than those who use only pre-cut pieces. Mail-in payment is available by selecting the Comp Ticket option to receive emailed instructions. Parking and entrance are at the rear of the building. A refund policy offers a credit for cancellations with sufficient notice, with alternatives available for later changes.

Lenz is a New York Times bestselling writer whose memoir Dinner for Vampires was named to Time’s best of the year list.

The entry fee is $120 per team, first place pays $2,000 with 60 or more teams, and payouts go to 1 in 5 teams. Competition takes place on the house pattern. Teams bowl six Baker games while moving pairs, and total pinfall determines the winners with no match play. In the Baker setup, one bowler throws frames 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 while the other covers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, then they switch who starts each game so each bowler anchors three. The start may be delayed to accommodate leagues, and the event will wait for bowlers coming from other centers.

Full Moon Yoga Nidra
Mt Clemens · 81 Macomb Pl
Read moreRead lessSettle into a full moon Yoga Nidra led by Daniel Carpenter, the twelfth gathering in a yearlong series timed around the full moon. Over 45 minutes, you will be gently guided while resting on a mat or pad, covered with a blanket and with a small pillow or folded blanket supporting your head. The practice encourages the body and mind to ease into a deeply restful state, hovering at the threshold between wakefulness and dreamless sleep. In this level of relaxation, the experience is described as activating the pineal gland and releasing hormones that can support healing for body and mind, often nurturing a greater sense of connectedness. Many find the session as restorative as several hours of sleep. A central element is sankalpa, a heartfelt intention. Each meeting refreshes and strengthens this intention while deepening your capacity to access profound rest. Consistent practice tends to refine the results. Hosted at Bodhi Seed Yoga. Cost is $20.
