In this immersive eight-week journey, we invite you to explore the profound dynamics between the world around us and the stories within us, viewed through the lens of nature and history.

Just as the mineral springs here have carved their way through the earth over centuries, our personal histories are shaped by the environments we inhabit. We will look to the surrounding landscape—the ancient trees, the weathered stone architecture, and the medicinal springs—as a mirror for our own lived experiences. Participants will be encouraged to explore how their personal history intersects with the broader legacy of Yellow Springs, finding where individual memory meets collective heritage.

A Multi-Sensory Approach to Storytelling Writing a memoir is often seen as a solitary act of pen and paper, but true expression often requires more than words alone. This course introduces creative free-writing as a foundation, but we break the boundaries of the page by incorporating mixed media. All artistic abilities are welcome!

Join us for a five-week exploration of Zentangle®, a meditative drawing method that uses simple, structured patterns to create beautiful, intricate artwork. Perfect for beginners and experienced creatives alike, this course encourages mindfulness, focus, and creative freedom in a relaxed, supportive setting.

Each week, you’ll be introduced to new tangles (patterns), techniques for shading and composition, and creative ways to build your own unique designs. As you progress, you’ll develop not only artistic skills but also tools for relaxation and self-expression.

No drawing experience is necessary—all materials are provided ($15 materials fee). If you can hold a pen, you can enjoy the calming, creative world of Zentangle!

Breathe deeply, stretch fully, and ground yourself in a practice rooted in history, nature, and mindful movement. Yoga at the Springs is an all-level outdoor yoga experience set on the storied grounds of Historic Yellow Springs, where centuries of healing, community, and creativity are woven into the land.

Each class will meet at the Barn before beginning a gentle walk to a thoughtfully chosen location on the grounds. Along the way you’ll learn about the history of the specific site where we’ll practice that day. From the remains of the historic hospital to the medicinal garden, to the natural springs that gave Yellow Springs its name, each setting offers a unique backdrop and a deeper sense of connection to place.

The yoga practice itself is designed to be accessible and grounding, allowing movement and breath to be informed by the environment around us. With changing locations throughout the season, no two classes are exactly the same.

In the event of rain or extreme weather, sessions will be held indoors.

Please bring your own mat, water bottle, and anything else you need for a comfortable outdoor experience. No prior yoga experience is necessary—just a willingness to move, breathe, and experience this historic landscape in a new way.
