The League of Women Voters of the Northern Shenandoah Valley is sponsoring an author talk, by Eileen Isola at its Annual Meeting.&nbsp; Are you outraged by what's happening to our female soldiers in the military today? What to learn more? Keynote speaker, Eileen Isola, author and lead editor of Necessary Turbulence, the landmark literary work being released in June, will describe the 50-year, never-before-told story of female pilots/Air Force Academy grads - through the voices of 108 of them. Listen to how they survived their experiences inside systems that never imagined them and were not built for them! She will tie those experiences to what we are seeing on the news every single day, including some of the realities of what our military women and veterans have experienced in recent times. Q&amp;A (LWV will hold a brief biz meeting.)&nbsp; Register here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/lwv-nsv-2026-annual-meeting-of-members&nbsp;&nbsp;We are also holding a food drive for Blue Ridge Food Pantry.&nbsp; Food donations appreciated.

671 Floc Way Harpers Ferry, WV

In the pace of daily life, it’s easy to keep reaching for what’s next—solving, striving, or focusing on what feels missing. This day retreat is an invitation to pause and gently shift that pattern through the practice of gratitude. Together, we’ll explore gratitude not just as an idea, but as a lived practice—something we can return to daily to support presence, emotional balance, and a deeper appreciation for what is already here. At the heart of the retreat is a simple practice inspired by The Magic: a daily way of writing and feeling gratitude until it becomes real, not just words. Through guided exercises, journaling, sharing, meditation, and time in nature, we’ll create space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—with ourselves, our lives, and the people around us. This is not about forcing positivity. It’s about training our attention to notice what is already present—and learning how to live from that place more often, moment by moment and day by day.

Sweet Run State Park

You are invited to a restorative experience where forest and water meet. This is an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with the natural world in Sweet Run State Park. We’ll watch for turtles in the pond as we wander to where Piney Run winds gently through the forest.
You will be guided through simple sensory invitations designed to awaken sight, sound, touch, and breath—allowing the presence of water to naturally restore your system. As we linger by the stream, you may notice a softening, a slowing, or a deepening of awareness. There will be space to wander, pause, and experience the forest and stream in your own way.
Bring a small towel if you’d like to dip your hands or feet into the water. To close our journey, we will gather along the banks for a wild-foraged forest tea.Register here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/savor-the-stream-a-sensory-experience" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/savor-the-stream-a-sensory-experience</a>
