Sound Bath Meditation
2025-04-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Breathe Yoga Chelsea, 104 E. Middle Street, Chelsea, M, 48118, United States
Immerse yourself in Nature’s Harmony with a soothing Sound Bath experience! Let the calming sounds of nature wash over you, bringing peace, balance, and deep relaxation to your mind, body, and spirit. Join us for a transformative journey where every note resonates with the earth’s healing energy. It is an experience that washes you with the sounds of intentionally chosen instruments that bring calming vibrations to reduce stress and tension.
Relax, unwind, and allow yourself to calm the overworked, overstimulated nervous system, by allowing the healing frequencies of sound to flow through you. Sound Bath Meditation is an immersion in soothing sounds and vibrations that are relaxing and rejuvenating for your body, mind, and spirit. Often simply called a “Sound Bath”, it is an experience that washes you with the sounds of intentionally chosen instruments that bring calming vibrations to reduce stress and tension.
Supporting yourself with blankets and bolsters, surrender to the deeply soothing, all-enveloping musical backdrop using a blend of crystal and metal singing bowls to create layers of soothing sound waves, there will be nothing for it but for you to slip effortlessly into a state of deep release, opening and relaxation. Pure bliss.
Thought to help heal depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia, and to deepen meditation and spark creativity, sound bathing envelopes you in specific frequencies of sound that can bring both our physical and subtle (energy) bodies into a state of balance.
These classes feel a bit like a yogi slumber party. Even if you do happen to nod off, you’ll still feel the powerful vibrations of sound flowing through you. Something will shift. It really is an experience not to be missed!
What to bring: Things that makes you feel super comfy and supported on the floor – a yoga mat, blanket, and maybe even a pillow.
While we have several yoga mats, blankets and bolsters to borrow, these items are first-come-first-serve, and participants are also welcome to bring their own. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing and warm socks.
Guided by Rob Meyer-Kukan of 7 Notes Natural Health.
Investment: $30.

Living Well with Chronic Pain
2025-04-12 11:00 - 12:00 | Crossroads Community Center, 5501 Webster Church Rd, Dexter, M, 48130, United States
Welcome to Living Well with Chronic Pain! This FREE one-hour introductory seminar, led by Julie Gruber, is intended for those directly affected by pain as well as for caregivers and loved ones. Chronic pain affects millions of people and most of them are living less than ideal lives, unsure of how to take the reins back and find ways to thrive. I’m interested in sharing some of the non-medical strategies I’ve found helpful.
Please join us for an interactive conversation about ways to live alongside the pain without being governed by it. We will leave any internalized stigma or shame at the door and take our first steps into being in charge of our own lives again. This will be a safe space to discuss several aspects of living with chronic pain and its impact on our lives, while reclaiming our strengths and vitality.
Julie Gruber is a former career educator, writer and artist who is taking a life shift she didn’t ask for and transforming it into a new way of BEING. She is committed to sharing inspiration and encouragement through active and authentic dialogue. She is not a licensed medical provider. However, she does have the lived experience of navigating a life alongside chronic pain and understands the unique challenges involved. She is currently writing a book about all she’s learned on her chronic pain journey and has created her company, The WordWise Project, aimed at helping others living with chronic pain learn strategies for empowerment and resilience.

Spaghetti Dinner Helps the CAHS Museum and Honors Lynda Collins
2025-04-28 16:30 - 20:00 | MI
Spaghetti Dinner Helps Chelsea Museum and Honors Lynda Collins
The Chelsea Area Historical Museum will hold its annual Lynda Collins Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on Monday, April 28, at the Chelsea Depot starting at 4:30 till 8:00pm
The event helps raise funds to support the Museum’s mission of preserving and educating the community about Chelsea’s almost 200-year history. Perhaps more importantly, it honors the spirit of Lynda Collins, one of the founding members of the Chelsea Area Historical Museum, as well as the Chelsea Depot.
“Chelsea history and the Chelsea community were so important to Lynda,” said her son Matthew Collins, who took the reins of Thompson’s Pizza, after his mother passed away in 2015. Thompson’s Pizza is donating the spaghetti, salad, and breadsticks for the fundraiser.
“As you can imagine, the loss of our mother was devastating, a loss that is still felt very much today,” said Collins. “We feel like it’s important to carry on where she left off – caring for the community she loved in “small ways” as she would say.”
“The Chelsea Area History Society was one of those things she cared deeply about,” he said. “My mom was notorious for donating spaghetti dinners for benefits and fundraisers, which is why we thought it would be the perfect way to honor her memory and carry on her legacy.”
Collins also remembers his mom — who received the Chelsea Lifetime Achievement Award, among many other honors — as determined. When some people doubted that enough money could be raised to purchase a permanent home for the museum, Lynda Collins thought otherwise.
“There wasn’t much that could deter our mom from achieving what needed to be done. When others saw obstacles, she saw opportunity,” said Collins.
“She understood the importance of educating the youth, especially on our history. She knew that and a permanent home would provide that.”
The Lynda Collins Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser for the CAHS will be held at the Chelsea Depot on Monday, April 18, from 4:30 to 8 p.m. Diners can also bid on a simple but super Silent Auction. Adults are $12; youth under 13 are $6. Spaghetti, bread sticks, and salad provided by Thompson’s Pizza, with a variety of desserts prepared by CAHS volunteers. Take-out will be available.
The mission of the Chelsea Area Historical Society is to gather and preserve Chelsea area history, educate the public, and promote the restoration and preservation of historic buildings and sites for future generations. The museum is located in the 1853 Boyd House, at 128 Jackson St., across from the Chelsea Depot. The museum is open Saturdays, noon to 3 p.m. and on Thursdays evenings, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., during Sound & Sights. For more information, visit www.chelseahistory.org or call 734.800.1850.
