“Kindness is the only non-delusional response to everything.” — George Saunders

As we move into a new month, this special Sunday in the Stacks invites you to slow down and reconnect through an intentional practice centered on kindness—toward yourself and others.

Join Laura Guzman, founder of Book Society and certified 200-hour Holistic Yoga Flow instructor, for a gentle, nourishing yoga session designed to release tension, restore balance, and cultivate a positive mindset. Through mindful movement and breath, you’ll be guided to set meaningful intentions and carry a sense of ease and compassion into the weeks ahead.

Set among the quiet beauty of the bookstore before opening hours, this intimate experience offers a rare opportunity to move, reflect, and reset in a truly grounding space.

Your ticket includes:
<ul><li>A guided gentle yoga class led by Laura Guzman</li><li>Post-session mimosa or NA beverage toast</li><li>Exclusive access to Book Society during non-business hours</li><li>A much-deserved moment of deep rejuvenation for the mind and body</li></ul>

Please bring a yoga mat and wear what feels comfortable. No prior experience is required—just an open heart and a willingness to unwind.

La Val's Subterranean Theater - 1834 Euclid Ave. Berkeley

The camp counselors at Indigo Woods just want everyone to have an AMAZING summer. But when political division and unrest start to encroach on camp experience, they’ll have to summon immense bravery and cooperation in order to keep their young campers safe. The Grown-Ups by Skylar Fox and Simon Henriques captures a familiar feeling in modern politics–at once completely absurd and all too real. This fresh dark comedy was originally devised and performed outside, around a real campfire, by Brooklyn-based theater company Nightdrive. Theatre Lunatico’s production, directed by core company member Devon deGroot, will bring all the magic of summer camp to La Val’s Subterranean for an immersive experience that evokes sunscreen and bug spray.

Foundation of the Sacred Stream

Step into a deeply restorative journey of sound and vibration with sound healing expert and accomplished musician <a href="https://www.sacredstream.org/teachers-and-staff/laura-chandler/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Laura Chandler</a>.
 In this immersive crystal bowl sound healing meditation, Laura weaves 
the pure, resonant tones of crystal singing bowls into a soothing 
tapestry that gently guides you into states of deep relaxation and inner
 balance.
Drawing on years of experience as both a musician and a healer, Laura
 creates a sacred space where the harmonic frequencies of the bowls help
 calm the mind, release stress, and realign body, mind, and spirit. 
Whether you’re seeking emotional renewal, energetic clearing, or simply a
 moment of stillness, this evening offers a profound opportunity to 
reconnect with your own innate harmony and well-being. 
Participants are invited to sit or lie down. Backjacks or chairs are 
provided. You are also welcome to bring a pillow, blanket, yoga mat, or 
whatever will help you feel most comfortable. Also, dress warmly as body
 temperature can drop during meditation.
This event takes place in person at the Sacred Stream Center. It is 
free and open to the public; a suggested donation of $25 – $50 helps 
support the maintenance of this diverse, accessible community space in 
Berkeley, CA.
No prior experience is necessary—simply bring your intention and an 
open heart and allow the transformative power of sound to guide you home
 to yourself.

Are there hidden accessibility barriers on your website?

Accessibility in Practice

Does your website look great but people still drop off before buying, booking, or signing up? Most small business owners don’t realize accessibility might be the reason. Your site might “pass” an automated scan or look fine visually, but still be impossible to use for people navigating by keyboard, screen reader, or other assistive tech. Automated tools don’t test whether someone can actually fill out a form, complete a purchase, book a service, or make a donation. That’s where accessibility issues tend to hide. In fact, WebAIM’s 2025 Million report found that 94.8% of the top 1,000,000 home pages had detectable Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) failures. That’s where I come in. I run hands-on accessibility reviews that go beyond automated tools. I test your site like a real user would and translate the findings into clear, prioritized fixes you can implement or hand to your developer or designer. Ways to work together: 1. Full Website Accessibility Audit (deep review across your site) 2. Homepage-Only Mini Audit (fast check of your most-visited page) 3. PDF Accessibility Conversion (make PDFs usable with screen readers) 4. Alt Text Writing Packages (product photos, homepage images, posts) 5. Email Signature Accessibility Review (fix a common, overlooked barrier) 6. Social Media Accessibility Quick Review (graphics, captions, links, video basics) and more! What you’ll get (always): 1. Plain-language results 2. A prioritized fix list 3. Practical guidance you can use right away Our approach Transparent pricing • Fast turnaround • WCAG-aligned • ADA/Section 508–informed • Bay Area + remote clients If your site is hard to use, it’s hard to grow. Prioritizing accessibility helps more people access your content, services, and opportunities. contact@accessibilityinpractice.com
