Nurture your mind, body, and creativity with Enrichment & Wellness classes at 577. Designed for all ages and activity levels, these classes offer opportunities to build connections, cultivate well-being, and explore new interests in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Wellness classes focus on healthy living and mindfulness, with offerings such as Yoga, Meditation, and Herbalism, all led by passionate, trained community instructors. Enrichment classes inspire lifelong learning through hands-on experiences in creative writing, journaling, science, technology, music, history, and more.
With new topics each month, classes take place in the Cottage, Virginia’s House, and outdoors among the beautiful gardens and grounds of 577—where learning, inspiration, and connection come naturally.

Mixtape at 577
Saturday, May 10 ~ 12:30pm to 1:30pm
A mixtape is a collection of favorite, familiar, and new-to-you songs. When cassettes and CDs were popular, people would curate a compilation of songs for friends and romantic crushes to enjoy when you’re together or apart. This program brings back a casual way for people to sing out loud together to forge connection and a sense of belonging.
This is playing, not performing! Be ready to make mistakes and watch the song leader make mistakes. Forget perfection. Forget polish. That isn’t the point. Singing together, laughing, trying something, and having fun together is the point!
Bring a friend or come alone and make a new friend. All ages and backgrounds are welcome (although kids should be accompanied by a caregiver or responsible adult 18+). Free event, with optional donation.
We’ll meet on the Outdoor Stage at 577 and then venture inside the Geodesic Biodome to play with the acoustics in this beautiful space. Don’t worry about inclement weather, we will plan to meet in Virginia’s House.
Community Song Leader: 577 Foundation Executive Director Heather Gallant
