Community Calendar

Join WGVU for a special book swap event on Friday, Feb. 27th, 5-7 p.m., at Pigeon Hill Brewing Company's taproom in Muskegon. This family-friendly community event invites book lovers around West Michigan to bring books you've already read, leave with some fresh new reads, and make some friends in between!

Please bring between 2-4 books, and make sure that your books are in reasonably good condition before bringing them in. Any books that have significant marks or damage will not be accepted.

Sometimes all you need to ground yourself is your breath, your senses, and a moment to slow down.
I’m inviting my community to come out, support, and share as I host a free wellness retreat open to teens, young adults, and anyone who feels called to rest:

This experience centers rest, healing, joy, and liberation through simple, accessible practices grounded in:
Sight • Sound • Smell • Taste • Touch
