Unwind and rebalance to the sound of Gong The beautiful combination of nature and the sound of the gong brings a sense of calm as we share this experience together. When we are in an optimal state of physical and mental health, the systems in our body work in harmony. Sound can be an effective way to reprogram our own vibrations to a more optimal state. The gong’s sounds and vibrations have a quick effect on the brain and the body. They move us from our awake (Beta) state to a more relaxed and calm (Alpha) state, then to a restful (Theta) state and finally to a deeply relaxing meditative (Delta) state. https://www.soulfulprairies.com/events/gong-in-the-grass Details: Gong in the Grass is held on the Prairie or in the arena, depending on weather conditions. Wear appropriate clothing as the arena is not heated or air-conditioned Attendees are welcome to stay after the event to watch the sunset Maximum participants - 100 Bring a blanket, pillow and whatever you need to be comfortable This event can be conducive to older children; however, we ask that all attendees honor the experience of the event by maintaining a peaceful and tranquil environment.

Running on Empty? Real Conversations About Stress, Burnout & Self-Care Join us for our bi-monthly WINGS Luncheon, a welcoming space where supportive women in business come together to connect, learn, and grow. At this event, we’re diving into a topic many women experience but rarely talk about openly—stress, burnout, and the pressure to keep going even when we’re running on empty. Featured Speaker: Jessie Mershon Jessie Mershon is a keynote speaker, mindset coach, and host of the Get Strong Podcast. She works with high-capacity women who are juggling leadership, business, family, and life—helping them break through stress, burnout, self-doubt, and the quiet belief that they’re “not enough.” As the creator of the Strength Within Framework, Jessie teaches a simple but powerful approach to rebuilding energy and confidence through three pillars: • Mindset – shifting the inner narrative that fuels stress and self-doubt • Movement – using physical movement to regulate the nervous system and restore energy • Momentum – building sustainable habits that create lasting change Her work helps women reconnect with their inner strength, regulate stress, and take bold action in their health, leadership, and everyday lives. Jessie’s message is shaped by her own journey of overcoming anxiety, burnout, and feelings of unworthiness while building a multi-six-figure business and raising four children. Her practical approach blends mindset work, movement, and simple daily habits that help women stop running on empty and start leading from strength. Known for her high-energy speaking style and relatable storytelling, Jessie delivers tools audiences can apply immediately to reduce stress, build resilience, and create a vision for their life that actually sticks. Jessie lives in Illinois with her husband and four children, where she continues to coach, speak, and empower women to become the strongest version of themselves. Each event includes buffet-style lunch provided by rotating local food establishments, along with intentional networking designed to help you connect with other women in business. WINGS (Women’s Interactive Networking Group) is hosted by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce and meets every other month to bring local women together for meaningful connection, education, and professional growth. Dietary Note: We aim to provide a variety of lunch options. If you have strict dietary restrictions, you may wish to bring something safe to eat or contact us in advance to see if accommodations are possible.

Grab your air guitar and relive the loudest decade in music! Theatre 121 cranks up the volume with Rock of Ages, the Broadway hit that’s part musical, part rock concert, and all-out party. Set on L.A.'s legendary Sunset Strip during the neon-soaked late 1980s, Rock of Ages follows Drew, a barback with big dreams, and Sherrie, a small-town girl chasing her Hollywood moment. When a greedy developer threatens to demolish their favorite club, their crew of rock ‘n’ roll misfits band together to fight back with epic guitar solos and heart-thumping power ballads leading the way. Featuring iconic songs from hitmakers like Journey, Pat Benatar, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Twisted Sister, and more, Rock of Ages is a high-octane mix of nostalgia, rebellion, and glam-rock glory. With its hilarious script, unforgettable music, and over-the-top spirit, this is one show that truly knows how to rock. Whether you're a lifelong fan of ‘80s rock or just ready to let loose, Rock of Ages is your all-access pass to the wildest night in town.
