(All day): Taking it to New Heights Health and Wellness Retreat

(All day)
Aug 24 – Aug 26

Take it to new heights with our Fall Health and Wellness Retreat, where you will challenge yourself in the school of flight and teamwork through activities such as indoor skydiving, rock climbing, and acro Yoga.

We will also be learning about healthy cooking, meditation, wellness, and essential oils. This weekend is one you won't want to miss. Reservations are already rolling in and space is limited, so it's first come, first serve.

The entire weekend is only $200 and includes your two-night stay at the LightHouse residences, all your meals, and activities, and you will even get professional video footage and photos of your skydive. Don't wait. RSVP today to Amber Sherrard at asherrard@lighthouse-sf.org immediately to reserve your spot.

This workshop is for you if you’re a screen reader user considering a Mac, or already own a Mac and want to explore using VoiceOver.

10:00 am: Knitting

10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Aug 30

Every week, our knitters gather to share their purls of wisdom and get in the loop on each other’s latest project, and usually end up in stitches spinning yarns. Whether you knit for pleasure, distraction or just practical economics, or you’ve never done it before and want to give it a try, there’s always room for another loom. Learn, refine, or teach a skill that makes your gift-giving budget lighter weight or support a student-led altruistic project like knitting chemo caps, beanies for babies, lap blankets or other creative applications.
