Ambient Yoga – Every Thursday at 6:30 PM
Upstairs in the Umbra Arts Gallery
Restore your nervous system and reconnect with your body in this all-levels yoga experience set in the ethereal glow of the Umbra Arts gallery. Guided by Rita’s gentle, intuitive movement and accompanied by Michaelton’s live ambient soundscapes, this class is a slow-burning invitation into deep presence and release.
Breath and sound meet in harmony, creating a spacious container for healing, exploration, and creativity. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or brand new to the mat, this class meets you where you are—no pressure, no pretzel poses required.
Ambient Yoga is pay-what-you-can, with all contributions going directly to support the artists: Rita (movement) and Michaelton (sound).
✨ The café will be open downstairs for teas, tonics, and thirst-quenchers before and after class. Come early, stay late, and soak in the vibes.
Bring a mat if you have one—extras available if you don’t. All bodies, all backgrounds, all levels welcome. Let’s move and breathe together.

📚 Queer Silent Book Club – Twin Cities Chapter
🗓 Every 3rd Wednesday | 🕕 6:00 PM
📍 Umbra Gallery Café
Craving quiet community? Join us for a low-key evening of silent reading in a queer- and trans-affirming space. Bring your current read—fiction, memoir, zine, spellbook, whatever—and settle in with fellow book lovers for an hour of cozy collective silence.
We’ll kick things off with brief intros, then dive into our books. Afterward, stick around (if you’d like!) to share thoughts, feelings, or just vibes about what you read.
All people, all genders, all sexualities, and all books are welcome. ✨
Hot & cold drinks + tasty snacks available at the Umbra Café.
Come as you are, read what you love, and feel seen—quietly.
