Two Decades of Alumni Celebration @ Danny's Place

Twenty years ago, Danny's Place opened its doors in the old Merriam building, and thousands of young people walked through them.


This spring, we're bringing it all back together.

Two Decades of Alumni is a homecoming celebration for everyone who was part of Danny's Place from 2006 to 2026, alumni, staff, volunteers, families, and the people who made this place what it is.

Live music from Sons of Businessmen, familiar faces, and 20 years of memories under one roof.

Saturday, April 11, 2026
5:00–7:30 PM
Danny's Place · 543 Mass Ave, Acton
This isn't a gala. It's a homecoming.

Grab your tickets or become an Alumni Captain to help spread the word!

Just like yoga, a good book is always better when shared with a group.

Amy invites you to “pull up a bolster” and join her for a heart-opening gathering that blends meaningful conversation with mindful movement and plenty of time for rest and reflection. We’ll begin by diving into an inspiring book discussion and follow it up with a nourishing yoga practice designed to embody and integrate the ideas and themes generated by our conversation. No need to be an expert reader or yoga practitioner ~ just come as you are, ready to connect, move, and be inspired. Reading the book is encouraged but never required!!

Meditative Hand Sewing ~ Stitch Your Way to Calm
w/ Deepika Prakash
@ Revolution Community Yoga in Acton, MA
Saturday, Jan. 31st • 5 - 7pm
in the Waterfall Room
$40 early reg. • $50 day of workshop

This session invites participants to slowly stitch small squares of fabric together in a rhythmic, mindful way. Once you learn this simple method of creating a nine-patch square—free from decision fatigue—you can simply sew. These squares can later be made into a quilt, sewn on to existing clothes or other projects, mounted as artwork, or simply exist as they are. The act of hand sewing is scientifically shown to lower stress hormones, calm the nervous system, and promote focus and relaxation—especially for those who find it difficult to sit still in traditional meditation. Hand sewing engages both creativity and concentration, helping participants enter a natural state of flow. No prior sewing experience is needed, and all supplies will be provided.
