In the quiet, you’ll experience the liberating power of silence, introspection, and meditation—an opportunity to reset your mind and return to your life feeling refreshed, grounded, and inspired. Suitable for both new and experienced meditators alike. 
What to Expect on the day Simple &amp; profound guided meditations Brief teachings about each meditation Silent breaks for tea, contemplation or reading Opportunity for Q &amp; A and discussion at the end No experience necessary, everyone is welcome

National Union Building

A story about the things we never talk about. But we should. iregretnothingshow.com
I Regret Nothing is a one woman show about the funny, shocking, and ultimately redemptive story of a successful entrepreneur who found herself in way over her head, and couldn't figure out how she got there in the first place. It started with a Jewfro, took a detour to bombing on a comedy stage in NYC, and included a 4am pitstop in the ER with her pants at her ankles. And it gets a little worse from there. You will laugh. You might cry. And you might leave regretting things a little less.

After the 2024 election, Sarah Longwell—CEO and Publisher of The Bulwark and host of “The Focus Group” podcast—did what she’s done nearly every week for the past eight years: She sat down with voters. She conducted hundreds of focus groups, listening to thousands of ordinary Americans from across the political spectrum with the goal of understanding politics through the eyes of the people who will decide our country’s future.
American voters, and what they want for their country, are at the heart of How to Eat an Elephant. Drawing on her own unlikely political journey from a lesbian Republican operative to the vanguard of the anti-MAGA movement, Longwell offers an explanation of how we got here and presents a playbook for building a coalition to defeat authoritarian populism for good, one that’s designed to appeal to the most important but overlooked people in the country: the voters themselves.
She answers the question: How do you eat an elephant? One voter at a time.
Longwell will be in conversation with Kara Swisher, host of “On with Kara Swisher” and co-host of the “Pivot” podcast. She’s editor-at-large at New York Magazine, co-founder of the technology website, Recode, and the author of Burn Book: A Tech Love Story.
