The focus stays on realistic changes that can lower costs, lighten environmental impact, and strengthen your connection to your home, your routines, your neighbors, and the natural world. The session is led by Kelsey Starnes, whose personal journey through illness to remission informs a compassionate, practical teaching style. Kelsey holds a civil engineering degree and a graduate degree in sustainability, analytics, and management from the Illinois Institute of Technology, created a campus composting program, and has taught in both athletic and academic settings.

Keep the pace brisk, avoid talking about the current hand, enjoy the social atmosphere, and be considerate so everyone has a good time. Scoring is simple and competitive. Games can go beyond 10 points. Euchres and reneges on loners are worth four points. Your weekly total is the sum of your best five games, and monthly standings are based on your best ten games.

Universalist Unitarian Church of FarmingtonFull Moon Yoga Nidra
Led by Daniel Carpenter, this session is the eighth in a yearlong series of twelve Full Moon Yoga Nidra practices held on or near the full moon. Participants rest on a mat or blanket, covered with a blanket and supported by a small pillow, while receiving guided instruction that gently settles the mind and body into a deeply restful, dreamless state between waking and sleep. In this level of ease, the pineal gland may become more active, releasing hormones associated with the body’s natural healing response and a felt sense of connectedness. Many find the experience as restorative as several hours of sleep. A core element of the practice is sankalpa, a clear and heartfelt intention. Each gathering is designed to renew and strengthen that intention and to deepen the ability to access the most restorative layers of relaxation. Regular practice can help refine the benefits over time. Hosted at Bodhi Seed Yoga. Cost is $20.

An intimate solo saxophone set by emerging bandleader Houston Patton unfolds in the Larson Gallery as part of the Monumental Connection performance series.

Gilliam, a pioneering figure in postwar American painting, once remarked, “before painting, there was Jazz,” praising the freedom and the improvisational “acrobatics” that animate the music. Detroit-born saxophonist Houston Patton began playing at a young age inspired by his father and later earned a BFA in Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation from the University of Michigan. In February 2025 he became the youngest bandleader to host a residency at Cliff Bell’s in Detroit. This event is free with museum admission.
