Event Details

Mindfulness is a powerful tool, helping one develop a different relationship towards stress and the ability to more skillfully navigate through life’s inevitable challenges. This practice of moment to moment awareness and waking up to one’s life with clarity and deeper insight untaps essential inner resource for living a happier and more balanced life… with greater contentment, inner peace and ease.

MBSR or Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is a highly structured, eight-week, evidence-based program that offers secular, intensive mindfulness training to assist people with a host of stress-related physical, emotional and psychological conditions. It is a practical approach, which uses a combination of mindfulness meditation, body awareness, yoga and the exploration of patterns of behavior, thinking, feeling and action. This 8-week structured class and full day mindfulness retreat, along with ongoing practice, trains attention and cultivates awareness, helping us to utilize of our inner resources and providing us with the positive coping tools we need to become strong and resilient in both body and mind.

MBSR was developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the late 1970s by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and is now offered in medical centers, hospitals, and clinics around the world as the gold standard for mindfulness training. Since its inception, there has been a tremendous amount of research coming out of Harvard, UCLA, Stanford, UW-Madison and many other institutions providing insight into, not only how MBSR is helpful and how MBSR works, but also how it actually can change our brains for the better through positive neuroplasticity. You will find a plethora of this research at the American Mindfulness Research Association or www.goamra.org

Mindfulness as defined by Jon Kabat-Zinn is: Paying attention in a particular way, to what is actually happening in the present moment, on purpose and with an attitude of curiosity, kindness and without judgment.

Reduced Rate Options and Financial Assistance are always available! Classes fill quickly and early registration is recommended to secure a space in the upcoming spring class beginning April 23.

Event Details

Supported by the Diana Milock ‘Historical Book’ Conversation Series

The New York Times bestselling author of Blood and Thunder and Ghost Soldiers, Hampton Sides now tells the epic tale of Captain Cook’s last and fatal journey that began in 1776.

In The Wide Wide Sea, we learn of the dramatic and disturbing change in Cook’s personality. Lionized as the greatest explorer in British history, Cook was admired for his peerless seamanship, his humane leadership, and his dedication to science. He treated his crew well and respected Indigenous societies.

Yet on this last journey, something was different. Cook became hot-tempered, resorting to the lash to enforce discipline. He led his two vessels into danger time and again. Uncharacteristically, he ordered violent retaliation for perceived theft on the part of native peoples. This may have had something to do with the pressure he felt from his secret charge to chart and claim lands before his rivals could and to discover the fabled Northwest Passage. In any case, the ultimate effects were catastrophic for Indigenous people around the world. Tensions between Cook’s overt and covert missions came to a head in Hawaii, where his exploitative treatment of the Hawaiians led to the fatal encounter.

At once a ferociously-paced story of adventure on the high seas and a searching examination of the complexities and consequences of the Age of Exploration, The Wide Wide Sea is a major work from one of our finest narrative nonfiction writers.

02mayAll DayLeelanau County Community Blood Drive

Event Details

Contact: Christi Bardenhagen, 231-883-0071
Schedule HERE or call 866-642-5663

The League of Women Voters of Leelanau County, the Suttons Bay Community Church and Versiti will hold a Blood Drive on Thursday, May 2, 2024 from 12:30 pm until 5:30 pm in the Community Meeting Room of the Leelanau County Government Center.

*One in seven patients entering a hospital requires the availability of blood for various medical reasons. This includes trauma victims, patients battling sickle cell disease or Thalassemia, as well as those who require organ or bone marrow transplants. Additionally, a staggering 25 percent of all blood donations are used for cancer patients, and blood transfusions are essential in one out of every 83 newborn deliveries in America today.

*The need for blood is urgent and constant. Every 3 seconds, someone in our country requires blood, and on any given day, an average of 42,000 blood components are used by patients. That amounts to more than 15 million red blood cells, platelets, and plasma transfused last year alone. Despite this high demand, only three percent of all Americans choose to donate blood.

*The weeks around the summer holidays can be a challenging time in blood collection due to warmer weather, no school, and family vacations. But the need for blood never stops. In fact, we see a higher volume of accidents due to holiday activities and increased travel during this time, with a higher demand for blood.

*Without the generosity of those who give so selflessly, millions of patients each year would not have the blood they require for emergency needs or ongoing treatments.

An important reminder for the donor community: Drink plenty of water leading up to donation day, especially day-of AND be sure to eat hearty leading up to the day—at the very least, do not attempt donating on an empty stomach. Snacks, water and juice will be available. ALL DONORS must have picture ID with them when checking in.

14may7:00 pm8:30 pmNWS Presents an Evening with Amy Tan

Event Details

The National Writers Series is thrilled to bring Amy Tan to the City Opera House stage. Amy is the best-selling author of The Joy Luck Club, and her new nonfiction book, The Backyard Chronicles, is a gorgeous, witty account of birding, nature, and the beauty around us that hides in plain sight.

“Unexpected and spectacular,” —Ann Patchett, best-selling author of These Precious Days

Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the passage of time through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful original sketches. With boundless charm and wit, Amy charts her foray into birding and the natural wonders of the world.

In 2016, Amy Tan grew overwhelmed by the state of the world: Hatred and misinformation became a daily presence on social media, and the country felt more divisive than ever. In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds visiting her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater—an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired.

The event takes place at the City Opera House. Doors open at 6 p.m. with a cash bar and live music, and the event starts at 7 p.m.

TICKET INFORMATION:
In-person Tickets:
Tier One Tickets
$57 – Each single ticket includes a hardcover copy of The Backyard Bird Chronicles, $30 (includes 20% discount & tax)

Annual Morel Wine Dinner

Feast on City Park Grill’s fungi infused 27th Annual Morel Wine Dinner featuring Caymus Vineyards wines. Morel featured entrées include Morel-Potato Gnocchi Duck Confit, Poached Cod-Morel Mushroom Ramen Bowl, Smoked Pork Belly, Red Wine Braised Short Ribs and Morel-Banana Crème Brûlée. Join special guest, Eric Bjorkman, Great Lakes Wine and Spirits, as he guides guests through four perfect Caymus Vineyards wine pairings and an optional premium pour.

Caymus Vineyards History (According to the Caymus Vineyards Website)

“Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie Sr., opened
Caymus Vineyards in 1972, starting off with 240 cases of Cabernet
Sauvignon. Today, Caymus remains 100% family-owned and run, as the next
generation takes on the responsibility of this farming and winemaking
operation.

Caymus Vineyards is located in the center of the Napa Valley. Primary
production is Cabernet Sauvignon grown on low-fertility soils on both
the valley floor and the mountains that surround the valley. Attention
to viticulture details, some dry farming, high-density plantings (with
some blocks spaced as close as meter x meter), thinning of the yield,
along with healthy vines and harvesting at an elevated degree of
ripeness – all of these elements produce a unique and singular style of
Cabernet.”

HOSTED IN COLLABORATION WITH TUSEN TAKK FOUNDATION – 100 SEATS

$10 TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

No one fights to preserve a multiplex, but some people will risk everything to save a marquee. Through booms and busts, Delft Theatres Inc. – and its innovative gem, The Nordic – endured in Marquette Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them. Local kid Bernie Rosendahl’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse to its former glory leads filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula.

Portraying the fascinating history of motion pictures through one iconic screen – and featuring dozens of real-life Marquette locations and characters – Marqueetown is the true story of chasing your dreams, redefining failure and success, and reembracing the enduring magic of cinema.

Written and Directed by Joseph Beyer and Jordan Anderson
Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl
Executive Producers Kathleen Glynn ands Diana Milock
Associate Producers Terry Lynn Carrithers, Ward and Mary Gillette, Kathleen Verduin, Joe and Katie Anderson.

Event Details

SUNDAY JUNE 23 AT 7:00 PM – THE BAY COMMUNITY THEATRE IN SUTTONS BAY, MICHIGAN – BENEFITS THE BAY COMMUNITY THEATRE – “MADE IN MICHIGAN” FILM SERIES FINALE – CAST AND CREW Q&A MODERATED BY JACOB WHEELER, AUTHOR AND EDITOR OF THE GLEN ARBOR SUN

$10 TICKETS AVAILABLE SOON – BAR AT SCREENING – 180 SEATS

No one fights to preserve a multiplex, but some people will risk everything to save a marquee. Through booms and busts, Delft Theatres Inc. – and its innovative gem, The Nordic – endured in Marquette Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them. Local kid Bernie Rosendahl’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse to its former glory leads filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula.

Portraying the fascinating history of motion pictures through one iconic screen – and featuring dozens of real-life Marquette locations and characters – Marqueetown is the true story of chasing your dreams, redefining failure and success, and reembracing the enduring magic of cinema.

Written and Directed by Joseph Beyer and Jordan Anderson
Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl
Executive Producers Kathleen Glynn ands Diana Milock
Associate Producers Terry Lynn Carrithers, Ward and Mary Gillette, Kathleen Verduin, Joe and Katie Anderson.
Original Score by Andrew Dost
Music Supervision by Willa Yudell
Additional Photography from the Estate of Gary Graver
Main Titles by Henry Gretzinger

Featuring locals cameos from Jim Foley, Ben Whiting, Tanner Presswood, Brian Raetz, Steve Cook, Pete Kirkwood, Chris Loud, Erin Anderson Whiting, Logan Wilcox, Christal Frost Anderson, Beth Milligan, Will Kitchen, Gary Gatzke, Madison Meter, Mickey Graham, Michael and Chad Albaugh, Jim Nichols, Ben Harris, Harold Kranick, Kaitlyn Cress, Cindy Milock, Raymond and Christie Minervini, Dan Wanschura and Connor Miller as The Hotdog.

SATURDAY AUGUST 3 AT 7:30 PM – ROGERS THEATER IN ROGERS CITY, MICHIGAN – BENEFITS THE ROGERS THEATER RESTORATION PROJECT – CAST AND CREW Q&A MODERATED BY GAVIN MACDONALD OF THE SUNSET PROJECT

DETAILS COMING SOON – 580 SEATS

No one fights to preserve a multiplex, but some people will risk everything to save a marquee. Through booms and busts, Delft Theatres Inc. – and its innovative gem, The Nordic – endured in Marquette Michigan for almost 100 years, even as the world changed endlessly around them. Local kid Bernie Rosendahl’s modern crusade to restore the historic arthouse to its former glory leads filmmakers to discover a hidden cinema empire in the Upper Peninsula.

Portraying the fascinating history of motion pictures through one iconic screen – and featuring dozens of real-life Marquette locations and characters – Marqueetown is the true story of chasing your dreams, redefining failure and success, and reembracing the enduring magic of cinema.

Written and Directed by Joseph Beyer and Jordan Anderson
Based on the work of Bernie Rosendahl
Executive Producers Kathleen Glynn ands Diana Milock
Associate Producers Terry Lynn Carrithers, Ward and Mary Gillette, Kathleen Verduin, Joe and Katie Anderson.
