We’ll end class with a powerful meditation meant to release any pent-up emotions that we may be carrying around. \nPLEASE NOTE: ***This class is an angry class. There will be adult language. There will be songs about the state of the world right now. This class is for those who are also angry\, and who also believe that every human deserves human rights.*** URL:https://revolutionaryvalley.org/event/rage-power-yoga/ LOCATION:Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau\, Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau\, 115 Merrimack St\, Lowell\, MA\, 01852\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://revolutionaryvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Screenshot-2025-06-19-at-12.48.28-PM.png ORGANIZER;CN="Moonlight &%3B Mindfulness":MAILTO:moonlightmindfulness@gmail.com GEO:42.6540975;-71.3272538 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau 115 Merrimack St Lowell MA 01852 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Greater Merrimack Valley Convention and Visitors Bureau\, 115 Merrimack St:geo:-71.3272538,42.6540975 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250621T140000 DTSTAMP:20260609T195953 CREATED:20250606T175429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250606T175429Z UID:10065044-1750503600-1750514400@revolutionaryvalley.org SUMMARY:Hands-On History: Clay Marbles DESCRIPTION:18th century life wasn’t just about chores – kids had fun too!
