Get ready for takeoff—with laughter guaranteed.
 

Join us for a screening of Airplane! (1980), the cult-classic comedy that redefined the spoof genre. This high-flying satire pokes fun at the disaster films of the 1970s, following a washed-up pilot, his ex-girlfriend turned stewardess, and a cabin full of unlucky passengers—all caught in midair chaos after a case of food poisoning leaves the crew down for the count.
 

With rapid-fire gags, unforgettable one-liners, and just the right amount of absurdity, Airplane! is a comedy that still soars over 40 years later. Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, buckle up for a hilarious ride.

The Magic of Finger Labyrinths

in Ravenscroft Hall

Step into a moment of calm and connection with a gentle, centering practice, a moving meditation for your hands. Guided by Shar Aslaksen, a Veriditas-certified (pending) Labyrinth Facilitator, this experience invites you to trace the quiet pathways of a finger labyrinth and listen for the wisdom that waits within.
 

Labyrinths have long served as symbolic pilgrimages, guiding us into a contemplative state where the mind softens and the soul finds its voice. Each turn and curve becomes an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover a sense of renewal. Whether you walk a labyrinth under open skies or trace its path with your fingertips, its quiet power remains the same.
 

Join us and discover the gentle dance of your fingers, an ancient path to inner stillness and quiet transformation.

Children of Heaven is a touching, award-winning Iranian film that tells the story of Ali and Zahra, a brother and sister navigating the simple yet profound challenges of childhood in Tehran. When Ali loses his sister’s only pair of shoes, the two hatch a heartfelt plan to share one pair between them, each quietly sacrificing for the other in a small act of love that grows into something much bigger.


This gentle, beautifully crafted story reminds us that even the smallest moments can reveal deep bonds of family, dignity, and hope.
