Join Cocoon Yoga Lab for an energizing, yet mindful yoga flow. This twice-monthly class offers a balanced mix of gentle challenge and restorative movement, perfect for those who want to cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner calm.

Throughout the session, we’ll move through a variety of postures, guided by breath and mindful movement, building both physical endurance and mental focus. This practice is beginner-friendly and open to yogis of all levels. Options will be provided to either soften or intensify your practice, allowing you to meet your body where it’s at.

While the pace will help you work up a light glisten, this isn’t an intense sweat session—making it the perfect way to unwind and connect with your body.

Practiced at room temperature, this class is a welcoming, feel-good way to move your body, quiet the mind, and leave feeling centered.

Tickets are $10 ($5 for members), see upcoming event dates and reserve your spot online, or speak with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335 today.

Please bring a yoga mat to practice on, along with any props to help make you more comfortable, such as a block or small bolster. We also recommend you wear comfortable layers you can easily stretch and move in.‌‌‌

Created in collaboration with Neil Diamond himself, A Beautiful Noise is the uplifting true story of how a kid from Brooklyn became a chart-busting, show-stopping American rock icon. With 120 million albums sold, a catalogue of classics like "America," "Forever in Blue Jeans" and "Sweet Caroline," an induction into the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and sold-out concerts around the world, Neil Diamond's story was made to shine on Broadway and head out on the road across the U.S.

Like Jersey Boys and Beautiful: The Carole King Musical before it, A Beautiful Noise is an inspiring, exhilarating, energy-filled musical memoir, that tells the untold true story of how America's greatest hitmaker became a star, set to the songs that defined his career.

Presented in association with and endorsed by Neil Diamond.

Recommended for ages 8 and up.

This fall, roam a world outside time as acclaimed studio Klip Collective uses light, sound, and state-of-the-art projection mapping to transform acres of Ozark nature into a one-of-a-kind journey across time and space.

Designed exclusively for the museum’s North Forest, this outdoor, site-responsive experience features six immersive installations for you and your crew to explore. Witness the natural rhythms of the Earth brought to life, see yourself fractured across the surface of a broken time machine, marvel together at the movements of the forest in a landscape of light, and more.

Backed by a custom soundtrack and open during the Ozarks’ most beautiful season, Time Loop truly offers an outdoor experience unlike any in Northwest Arkansas.

Every time it rains, litter that is left on the ground washes to creeks and streams. You can help. Pick Up Where You Play is a series of litter cleanups happening throughout Northwest Arkansas during the fall months. Last year over 500 volunteers removed trash from parks, trails, creeks, rivers, and lakes. Volunteers are entered to win adventures in the 3 major watersheds of NWA.

Unitarian Universalism (UUism)
is a progressive spiritual tradition that champions individual exploration, theological diversity,
inclusivity, and social justice. Unlike many religions, UUism is non-creedal—it does not require
adherence to a specific set of beliefs, but instead
encourages members to seek truth through personal experience, diverse wisdom traditions, and
active engagement in the world. This program
offers a compelling journey through the foundations and global history of Unitarian Universalism, its core values and principles, notable figures who have shaped the faith, and how UUism
is practiced today—culminating with a look at
the rich story of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fayetteville (UUFF).
