Ecstatic Dance/5Rythmns in Harrisonburg

Hi! Some friends and I are attempting to create a regular Ecstatic Dance here in Harrisonburg, and I was hoping for community feedback/ interest gauging? We almost have a permanent location arrangement, and then we can start inviting the public. We have had two private dances, and it is a struggle to pull numbers. Advice/Comments/General expression of interest is highly appreciated! Want to help plan it??? Also reach out! :)

Ecstatic Dance is freeform dance to a pre-set playlist over a designated period of time. Rules typically include: no shoes, no talking, no phones, no substances. The music typically follows a pattern of Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness. You get in touch with the music, move your body in an organic fashion, and dismantle old habits of self-judgement and movement limitations. I have found my experiences in this type of gathering to be quite profound and loving. It is a beautiful practice to encourage deep connections with your inner workings and community. Learning to flow with the music/ flow with life :)

Thanksgiving turkey

Local farms to get a turkey? Or a store with good quality ? Foodlion doesn’t seem to have anything that looks of value 🤷

Hburg, please start masking again

I really wish all y'all (locals and students) would take masking and viruses seriously. There's a lot of nasty stuff going around, and even though I mask every time I'm out I STILL managed to catch whatever dusty, crusty, musty infection that has turned the insides of my head into a Shrek colored milkshake. I'm immuocompromised from multiple chronic illnesses, and sleeping in a tent with my dog post DV sitch, so it's hitting harder. Everything hurts. I'm cooked, period. I'm on 4 rx's to fight this jawn off and clearly can't work. Masking is not just for you, it's to protect other vulnerable ppl. <3

Please start wearing masks again and social distance. Please 🙏 Stay safe, stay healthy

Edit: I love how this and my reply to the first comment is already getting downvoted. Like y'all dont want to comprehend that being exposed to the elements combined with high rates of virus transmissions between humans, me being a chronic illness girlie, AND immunocompromised are obvs. But y'all want to blame possible pneumonia on pet dander and mites? Please try reading your text books instead of using them to prop up wobbly table legs.

Bojangles AI Drive-thru

I went to Bojangles today for the first time in a while and was surprised by the AI voice taking the order. The ordering process went pretty smoothly but it was just a little jarring from hearing the usual “It’s Bo Time!” to talking to a Siri/Alexa voice.

Has anyone experienced this anywhere else?

Local Businesses That Support RFK’s Brain Worm

Hey guys, I’m looking for local businesses that support RFK’s brain worm? NOT support RFK, I believe in vaccines. I am running an outreach program for people with brain worms and RFK is great for publicity.

Please do not troll me, I am sensitive.

Love, Hugecuckold

Any good skateboard spots in town?

Hey y’all I’m staying in town for a week for work and I was wondering if there was any good places to skate, I drove around and I just kept getting lost in very busy traffic. I notice there’s a skatepark somewhere but Google says it’s closed.

Preschools

What preschools do you all like in Harrisonburg? Looking for a toddler next year and would preferably like to find something that offers part-time (3 day) schedules for a 1 year old and a 4 year old. We've researched several, but interested in some first-hand experiences. Thank you!

Local businesses who are pro MAGA?

I just want to know who to avoid giving my dollars to. At this point, I believe that is the loudest way for anyone to react.

Personally, I go to a lot of locally owned businesses to eat, because this city is rich with culture and I enjoy multicultural food. And I am trying my best to shop for other things locally where possible too.

Among MANY other things, the MAGA movement threatens multicultral food. Some of its most lauded goals are mass deportation and high tariffs on imported goods.... I don't support that, and I am tired of feeling powerless to make a difference, so if anyone knows about local businesses who openly support MAGA, then I would appreciate that knowledge, and I'm sure others would too. Particularly restaurants and contractors.

(edit, since a cult is gonna cult):

The ones I know (source, friends and relatives):

-Mystic Dove in McGaheysville, owners are MAGA.

-Dick Meyers Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, an employee was at the J6 insurrection attempt.

See comments section for more.

Looking for local financial adviser

My wife and I feel that as our kid is growing up, we should be smarter about our money. Saving for our future, making our money work for us, etc. Does anyone have a group or a person they have liked working with? We live in the county but are thinking about moving to Harrisonburg and want to work with someone on that and other life goals.

Where to recycle plastic shopping bags?

Martin's used to have bins by the doors but no longer.

Edit: I'm in the county so I don't think I'm permitted to use the city recycling center? At downtown farmer's market when the mobile city recycle bins are there, signs say that the services are for city residents only.

Poppies?

It's that time of year and where I'm from the VFW or other groups would sell felt poppies outside of Walmart and Kroger and other stores. But since I've moved here I haven't seen them? Does anyone have the hot tip where I can get a felt poppy?

Does anyone know any good catering companies around the area? I’m trying to plan an event, but most places aren’t doing tastings so I don’t even know who to choose for food.
