SUMMARY:Yell at the Sun
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our new morning wellness program on April 1 at 9:00 AM for Yell at the Sun\, a calming (but loud) experience focused on stress relief\, community bonding\, and breaking our usual “quiet voices” rule. \nApril Fools! Books remain our preferred coping mechanism.
