Connect on another level- Events that Move

We all have different goals, different paths, and different amounts of skin in the game. But one thing is constant – the human desire to connect.

Connect with each other, connect with ourselves.

This past weekend, the Lumber Exchange hosted a community-wide workout celebrating The Center for Movement’s second year of business and saw our vast, historic space brought to a new potential.

Utilizing the high ceilings, open space, smooth hardwood floors, and whimsical swing lighting of The Fountain Room.  We heard folks talk and post about their experience: ”Wow, what an event!”, ” I’ll never forget being here for this class for the rest of my life,”. Or “An amazing setting for an amazing celebration, “ and “Being in a place like this made me feel I was a part of something bigger.”
