Within the program, being chosen to represent a hero is regarded as a profound privilege. The event highlights the cost of freedom and recognizes Gold Star families for their courage, their love, the sacrifices they have made, and the legacies they safeguard. The atmosphere centers on gratitude, unity, and lasting remembrance.

    Designed for bakers who want to do more with their starter than bake loaves, this hands-on class explores everyday ways to use sourdough beyond bread and builds on Sourdough Basics workshops. The session focuses on sourdough discard, covering what it is, smart storage, when it shines in the kitchen, and how to make the most of it without feeling tied to weekly bread baking. Participants prepare sourdough scones and crackers while learning how discard behaves in different recipes, which options are most forgiving, and simple techniques to put it to work at home. It is a fit for anyone with a starter, anyone who has taken a basics workshop, anyone seeking recipes beyond bread, and anyone staring at a jar of discard and wondering what to do with it. Everyone leaves with fresh scones and crackers, printed recipes, practical tips for storing and using discard, ideas for everyday applications, and added confidence using a starter beyond the classic loaf. The class is BYOB, so guests may bring their own beverage, and bringing an apron is welcome for the hands-on portion. All ticket sales are nonrefundable, but tickets may be gifted or transferred if plans change.

    Yin Yoga

    New Cumberland · Lakshmi Studio, 300 3rd St

    Settle into a calm, unhurried Yin Yoga class that invites stillness and gentle awareness. Suitable for every experience level, especially newcomers, this practice is held at Lakshmi Studio with entry at the back. Rather than emphasizing muscular effort, the session centers on longer, supported holds and steady breath to nourish connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, tendons, joints, and bones. This approach complements more active styles of exercise by encouraging mobility that can endure beyond a single workout. Many participants turn to Yin Yoga to support flexibility, posture, stress relief, sleep, circulation, fatigue, tingling sensations, and aspects of sexual or bladder health. By engaging the nervous and endocrine systems and allowing tension to ease, the practice can help foster hormonal and emotional balance. Props and modifications are offered so each pose feels accessible, and time in stillness helps you leave feeling refreshed and more at ease. Classes are guided by Suzie, who teaches Kundalini and Yin Yoga and focuses on mindful movement and breath to support nervous system regulation, relaxation, inner awareness, and a sense of renewal. Pricing options include a 10-class card for $160, a 5-class card for $97, and a $22 drop-in.

    Vintage Kundalini Yoga

    New Cumberland · 300 3rd St

    Experience a welcoming Kundalini Yoga class suitable for all ages and all levels, with a gentle entry point for beginners. Often described as a yoga of awareness, this practice invites self-knowledge through a thoughtful blend of movement, conscious breathing, postures, mantras, and mudras that work together to ease stress and tension while nurturing clarity and resilience. Participation does not depend on flexibility, and the approach may be supportive for common challenges such as limited range of motion, anxiety or depression, trouble sleeping, posture concerns, fatigue, tingling sensations, circulatory issues, sexual health difficulties, and bladder dysfunction. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows free movement. Please avoid heavy meals for two hours beforehand, and bring water, a yoga mat, and an eye covering or small towel. The session is guided by Donna Grimwood, whose yoga journey began more than 25 years ago with Power Yoga. She discovered Kundalini Yoga in 2004 and later expanded her studies to include Yin Yoga. Pricing options are available, including a 10 class card for $160, a 5 class card for $97, or a $22 drop in.

    Thermography Sessions

    Mechanicsburg · 5000 Lenker St

    Thermal imaging offers a painless, non-invasive way to view vascular changes by detecting blood flow patterns, inflammation, and asymmetries. While mammography focuses on anatomical changes such as masses or lumps, thermography provides a complementary perspective. Used alongside breast self exams, physician exams, ultrasound, and mammography, it contributes to an early detection approach. Every body is unique, and thermograms can benefit men and women by helping with early identification of inflammation in the body. They can also highlight concerns such as arthritis, back and neck pain, dental issues, sinus issues and headaches, immune dysfunction, fibromyalgia, digestive disorders, thyroid dysfunction, sources of pain, heart disease prevention, and carotid artery inflammation. Happie Soul Wellness is hosting Guardian Thermography, LLC, and Arlene will be on-site providing sessions by appointment only. To schedule, text or call 610-554-6387. Special pricing is available, with a new breast screening at $180 and yearly or follow up screening at $170.
