SUMMARY:Sound Meditation With Yoga May 3\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join Lindsay and Gabby for a special\, one-time experience as Lindsay joins Gabby for a 40-minute\, all-levels yoga flow designed to gently release tension\, build steady strength\, and bring you back into rhythm with your breath. The practice weaves together mindful movement\, fluid transitions\, and longer-held postures to open the hips\, shoulders\, and spine—creating both space and calm focus within the body. \nWe’ll then ease into an extended savasana\, where Gabby will guide a 20-minute sound meditation using her crystal alchemy bowls. Each bowl is infused with precious minerals and tuned to specific frequencies\, offering a deeply immersive\, vibrational experience that works to soothe the nervous system\, quiet the mind\, and restore energetic balance. \nYou’ll leave feeling grounded\, clear\, and deeply replenished.

SUMMARY:2026 YWCA Parent Awareness Presents Girl Talk
DESCRIPTION:Girl Talk: What Every Girl Needs To Know About Puberty  \nGirls approaching puberty and their caregivers are invited to join Diane Frankel-Gramelis from Yale School of Public Health for a straightforward and entertaining discussion about the physical and emotional changes to expect during puberty This is not a sex talk. It’s a starting point for further discussions about a girl’s changing body. \nNote: This program is intended for caregivers to attend with girls who are beginning to show signs of puberty (approx ages 10-12). \nOnly parents know if their child is ready for this candid talk\, which includes visuals and covers topics such as: BO—what’s that smell?; Breast buds and development-what are we training with a bra anyway?; What exactly do I look like down there?; What about discharge? What’s that in my underwear?; and basic anatomy and periods.

SUMMARY:Digital Confidence for Today’s Workplace & Business
DESCRIPTION:The workplace has changed dramatically over the past decade. Many women – especially career re-entrants\, caregivers\, and those working outside of tech-forward environments – often feel uncertain about the digital tools now considered “standard” in today’s jobs. \nAt the same time\, women building small businesses or freelance careers are expected to navigate contracts\, marketing platforms\, client communication tools\, and AI systems – often without formal training. This workshop provides a clear\, practical overview of the modern digital landscape. \nRather than diving into technical tutorials\, participants will focus on building understanding\, reducing tech anxiety and identifying which tools are most relevant to personal goals\, including:\n•        Communication platforms such as Slack\, Zoom\, and Microsoft Teams\n•        Cloud collaboration systems like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365\n•        Project management tools such as Asana\, Trello\, and Monday\n•        Design platforms including website building platforms and Canva\n•        AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude that are increasingly integrated into daily work\n•        Digital contract and document-signing platforms used for employment and client agreements
