Tai Chi Tuesdays with Will at Station No. 2
Station No. 2
Each class follows a foundational flow that builds awareness, balance, and natural movement through Heaven → Earth → Wu Ji (stillness). We open with a warm-up sequence: - Heaven (upper awareness): light posture, spinal alignment, crown openness, and relaxed breath - Earth (grounding): rooting through the feet, weight shifting, stability, and connection to the ground - Wu Ji (stillness): deep relaxation, internal quiet, and deep "ocean" breathing to center the system From there, we build the practice: - Simple foundational Tai Chi movements introduced slowly and clearly — soft stepping, relaxed coordination, natural flow - Emphasis on Wu Wei (effortless action) — movement without force or tension - Gradual linking of movements into smooth, continuous flow - Ongoing focus on balance, grounding, and whole-body awareness - Breathwork maintained throughout as a steady internal rhythm As the series progresses, we expand into deeper layers: - Energy and internal awareness development - Healing sound practices - Broader education on life force (Qi) and its relationship to the body and human experience - Deeper integration of mindfulness, breath, and movement as one unified system We close each class by returning to Wu Ji stillness — integrating the practice into everyday life: walking, standing, and daily awareness.
The goal is to build not just movement skill, but a deeper understanding of balance, internal calm, and the living energy that animates the body and human experience. ✦ Stay on for more: Pat Ulacco's Tranquil Tuesdays guided meditation begins right after at 6:00 PM in the same space — making Tuesday evenings at Station No. 2 a beautiful full practice from movement to stillness.

Halloween Nirvana Tribute
Flytrap Brewing
🎃🍻🎶We had SO much fun at last year’s Halloween Party! We kicked things off with a rockin’ CCR set in the Pumpkin Patch before Zach & This Petty Luxury took it to the Flytrap rooftop for an epic recreation of The Beatles’ iconic final 1969 performance.
✨This year, they’re trading in the mop tops for some serious 90’s grunge vibes. 🤘This Petty Luxury will be paying tribute to Nirvana’s legendary MTV Unplugged set, performed in New York in 1993. But the vibes won’t stop there…
🎸🦽🥁After the Unplugged set, the band will be plugging in and turning up the volume for another unforgettable Nirvana performance—their headlining set at the 1992 Reading Festival in England.
Two iconic Nirvana performances. One Halloween night.
