Restorative Justice - Another Way of Responding to Violence: Regional Jail Tour & Discussion (Multiple times and sessions available)
Wednesday April 16, 2025 9:30am - 11:30am EDT
160 Peregory Ln, Charlottesville, VA 22902
If you have never been in your local jail, now is the time. This tour, led by Col Martin Kumer, superintendent of the jail, will offer a glimpse at conditions in the jail. The Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail was built in 1974 and currently houses about 230 people who are awaiting trial or serving sentences not long enough for a larger prison. This eye opening tour and discussion of mental health, rehabilitation, and re-entry will help local residents aiming to increase empathy and understanding for those returning to society.

Following the tour, Central Virginia Community Justice will facilitate a reflection on the experience, and an introduction to how CVCJ is offering restorative justice as an alternative to incarceration.

There will be three sessions:
  • Morning Session: 9:30 am – 11:30 am 
  • Afternoon Session: 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm
  • Evening Session: 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm


Each jail tour is limited to 8 participants and registration is required. To register for the Jail Tour, please go to this SignUpGenius page.

Never been to Decades Arcade? Come get a teaser by playing one of the free-play games in Decades Arcade’s Party Room!

That’s right - the coveted Party Room space at Decades will be open to the public, for free, for a taste of what it’s like to play video games over and over without ever having to use quarters. Play one of our three 1960s pinball machines in the front window, the fast-drawing game Qix, the classic Arkanoid, one of the 8 Williams games on the MultWilliams (including Joust and Defender!), Atari’s Turbo driving game, or play against your friends on the 4-player basketball game Fast Break or the 2-player multi-game Sega Blast City!

If you like what you found, head to the front desk and purchase a pass to access the whole arcade. Inside you’ll find 125 games from over 8 decades, including 37 pinball machines, 2 skeeballs, a full-size air hockey table, and over 80 arcade cabinets - even the first Mario, first Donkey Kong, and the original Star Wars game! At only $12 for a 2-hour pass, you’ll never want to put quarters or dollars in a video game again. Bet you can’t play all the games in this huge arcade in 2 hours!

Crowdfunded Pitch Night
Wednesday April 16, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm EDT
240 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22902

The 12th Annual Crowdfunded Pitch Night showcases 10 aspiring entrepreneurs to the Charlottesville community, who will vote with their dollars. Flash pitches will share the contestant's vision with the community and inspire the crowd to action! The evening will conclude with a round of crowd voting -- YOU get to be involved! -- in support of the idea the crowd feels is most likely to be successful. The pool of money goes to the winner. This event connects culturally diverse and innovative members of the Charlottesville community to showcase Charlottesville as a hub for unity and opportunity.

Each finalist has the opportunity to raise funds both before and during the pitch night. ALL donations intended for a startup or project will go to that startup! Before the pitch night, there will be a donation portal open to contribute toward a project, and at the pitch night, the audience can purchase votes to support the projects that most inspire them. ALL monies intended for a startup will go to that startup.

In addition to the crowdfunded support, the Community Investment Collaborate (CIC) is sponsoring a grand prize winner to receive a max $5,000. A winner will be selected by a panel of judges. Additional prizes and support services from CIC and other local business owners may also be awarded.

This event is free to attend and open to the public!

Sunrise Meditation: A Love…No Ego Sunrise
Thursday April 17, 2025 6:15am - 7:30am EDT
240 W Main St, Charlottesville, VA 22902

As the morning light gently rises, participants are invited to a serene gathering for connection with self and nature. This guided meditation will lead attendees through the Five Tibetan Rites—simple, non-strenuous exercises—paired with easy breathing techniques, nature gazing, and a brief introduction to the message of Love…No Ego. Through this practice, participants will explore what it means to simply be human, releasing the ego and embracing presence in a tranquil outdoor setting.

The meditation will take place in the open grassy soccer field. Participants should bring a yoga mat, towel, and water bottle, as these items will not be provided. The Love…No Ego Branded Van will be parked nearby for easy identification, and ample free parking is available.

Lace-up your shoes and take to the streets for a fun run with the Prolyfyck run crew in support of a unified community where representation and inclusion matter.

At the end of the run, participants will circle up for announcements, community support, recognition of new folx, and finally to let some rage out (release any internal energy/emotion flowing in the body through yelling) before the close of the event.

Earthday Everyday Blessing and Conscious Dance Party is proudly hosted by the Cville Dance Co-op.

This Earth Day, community members are invited to a unique and immersive dance experience—an opportunity to gather in celebration of life on this beautiful planet. Through music and movement, participants will come together to honor the Earth, offering dance as a prayer for the well-being of the planet and all living beings.

The event will begin with a sacred sounding and grounding practice to connect with the Earth as our blessed Home. Following this, a 90-minute conscious dance session will unfold, featuring a powerful selection of Earth-honoring music. In this free-form, expressive movement space, dancers of all ages are encouraged to move their bodies and spirits in harmony with the natural world, embodying gratitude and reverence for the place we all call home.

Open to all ages, this family-friendly and substance-free gathering welcomes anyone who wishes to celebrate Earth Day through movement, mindfulness, and community connection.

Tai Chi Open Session “6 Steps to Compassion” led by Hiromi Johnson
Saturday April 19, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am EDT
101 E Market St, Charlottesville, VA 22902

Tai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art that blends deliberate movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. With applications ranging from self-defense to meditation, Tai Chi is both a physical practice and a meditative journey that cultivates balance, awareness, and inner peace. Beyond its individual benefits, Tai Chi has deep roots in community practice, offering a unique way to connect with others through shared movement and intentional presence.

In this workshop, Hiromi Johnson of Charlottesville Tai Chi will guide participants through a practice centered on communal healing and collective consciousness. Through slow, mindful movements, we will explore how intentional motion can foster a sense of unity, grounding us in both our own bodies and in the energy of those around us. This practice encourages a deepened awareness of self and community, helping us to move with greater ease, connection, and harmony.

McGuffey CoCreate: A Day-Long Immersive Art Workshop Celebrating the 50th Year of Charlottesville Artist Co-Op
Saturday April 19, 2025 11:00am - 5:00pm EDT
101 E Market St, Charlottesville, VA 22902


Step into a world where creativity knows no boundaries! McGuffey CoCreate is an immersive, hands-on artistic experience that invites the community to collaborate with over 20 artists in the heart of McGuffey Art Center. For one special day, all studios will be open, transforming into vibrant spaces of shared creation. From woodworking to dance, collage to assemblage, and so much more, this event celebrates the power of co-creation. Visitors of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to jump in—whether it’s adding a brushstroke to a collective painting, piecing together a collage, shaping wood with an artist’s guidance, or moving in rhythm with a live dance workshop.

This year, we’re adding some extra rhythm to the mix with Charlottesville Tango:

  • Taster class (2–3pm): We’ll be offering a sneak peek into the world of Argentine Tango! Expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere, engaging demonstrations, and an introduction to the fundamental steps that make tango so captivating. No experience and no partner required—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for movement!
  • Social dancing/practice (3–3:45pm): Whether you're a new or seasoned dancer, come and connect! You can practice what you've learned during the taster class, dance socially, watch the dancers, or just hang out and enjoy the music.


No experience? No problem! Supplies are provided, and our artists are ready to collaborate, guide, and inspire. Whether you come to create, connect, or simply witness the magic of artistic collaboration, McGuffey CoCreate is a space where art and community come alive together.

Tai Chi Open Session “6 Steps to Compassion” led by Hiromi Johnson
Sunday April 20, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm EDT
101 E Market St, Charlottesville, VA 22902

Tai Chi is an internal Chinese martial art that blends deliberate movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. With applications ranging from self-defense to meditation, Tai Chi is both a physical practice and a meditative journey that cultivates balance, awareness, and inner peace. Beyond its individual benefits, Tai Chi has deep roots in community practice, offering a unique way to connect with others through shared movement and intentional presence.

In this workshop, Hiromi Johnson of Charlottesville Tai Chi will guide participants through a practice centered on communal healing and collective consciousness. Through slow, mindful movements, we will explore how intentional motion can foster a sense of unity, grounding us in both our own bodies and in the energy of those around us. This practice encourages a deepened awareness of self and community, helping us to move with greater ease, connection, and harmony.
