    Meditation Class, 7 weeks 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm Fridays

    133 E Franklin St, Dayton · verified Oct 11
    See details

    This seven-part meditation series moves step by step from foundational skills to a fuller, integrated practice. It opens with focused work on breathing, introducing multiple techniques, their effects, and how to select an approach that supports the moment. The journey continues by engaging imagination through guided imagery and visualization that encourage relaxation, ease tension, and redirect attention away from stress toward intentional presence. Attention training follows, building the ability to rest on one chosen point, notice mental drift without criticism, and gently return to focus. Next comes sound and vibration as practical anchors, using elements like chanting, toning, rhythm, and resonance to calm the mind, steady the breath, and cultivate a deeply embodied experience. Participants then practice relating to thoughts in a new way, watching them come and go without chasing, fighting, or labeling, and allowing them to pass. In the final stages, the course weaves concentration, breath, body awareness, observation, and mindfulness into a cohesive meditation routine that fosters steadiness and presence. It concludes by extending awareness beyond formal practice, noticing subtle shifts within oneself, the environment, and interactions, and applying that clarity to respond with greater intention in daily life.

    Assisted Sew Day is a relaxed, drop-in sewing session where participants bring projects they are working on, plan to start, or need clarification on. Help is available throughout the day, along with constructive feedback and ample space to spread out, but it is not a private lesson and not a class. Spend time sewing alongside others, make progress on a current piece, or choose tasks that pair well with conversation such as seam ripping, cutting out a pattern, pressing a quilt square, mending, pattern help, hand embroidery, or pattern tracing. Expect a friendly atmosphere for making friends, sharing tips, and dedicating focused time to your craft.

    History, Mystery, Mayhem, and Murder Lantern Tour

    Woodland Cemetery and Arboretum, 118 Woodland Ave, Dayton · verified Oct 11
    See details

    Experience an evening lantern walk through the cemetery that traces Dayton’s darker chapters by visiting the graves of victims and perpetrators. The route explores real cases like the deathbed confession tied to 18-year-old Christine Kett, questions around whether Rose Shafor disguised herself as a man to aid a lover in a crime, the unresolved killing of Julius Kruse, and speculation about the Cincinnati Ripper’s presence in Dayton. The stories are drawn from actual murder accounts and include graphic details that may not be suitable for all audiences. This two-hour experience can be strenuous, so it is not recommended for children, older adults, or anyone who may have difficulty walking long distances over hilly, uneven grass. Meet at Eichelberger Plaza at the cemetery’s main gates. Parking is available both inside and outside the gates. Wear comfortable walking shoes and consider bringing water. Tours take place rain or shine, except in the event of thunder or lightning. Reservations are required. A suggested $10 donation supports the Woodland Arboretum Foundation and its restoration, preservation, horticultural, and educational efforts that help maintain Woodland as a cultural resource for Dayton and Ohio.

    Gem City Pinball League - Season 18

    Canal Street Arcade and Deli, 308 E 1st Street, Dayton · verified Oct 11
    See details

    At Canal Street Arcade and Deli in Dayton, Gem City Pinball League returns for Season 18 with a clear format and community-first guidelines. Participation includes a $20 fee per session along with a weekly coin drop. League nights take place on Mondays, excluding most holidays and any periods when the league is not in session, and members are notified of any schedule changes. Each week, players are grouped in threes or fours to play four randomly selected machines, earning points based on placement, with pairings rotating among fellow members. The season spans eight weeks of regular play, followed by two nights of finals. A cutoff based on overall standings determines placement into A or B finals, and every participant qualifies for one of these tournaments. Finals formats may adjust depending on league needs and the number of players. Reliable attendance is important. Makeup weeks are not offered, but each player receives one drop week, removing the lowest score from the season total. Participants are asked to check in each Monday to confirm their status for that evening. Missing three weeks in a season results in removal from that season’s rankings and ineligibility for finals, with limited exceptions at the discretion of league operators when communicated promptly and supported by valid reasons. Players who reach that absence limit may still play for the remainder of the season, though scores will not be recorded, and they can return officially at the start of the next season if space allows. Respectful conduct is expected at all times. Disrespectful behavior, arguing over rulings, or failure to follow guidelines can lead to disqualification or removal. Mechanical issues are a natural part of pinball and rulings related to them are final. The focus is on fair competition, clear rules, and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
