Clothing and Book Swap
Community Clothing & Book Swap hosted by Kirsten and Maritza
Refresh your closet and bookshelf for the new year! Pass along your gently used clothing and books to other members of the community, then leave with a new outfit or winter read (or both!)
How it works:
BYO winter clothes, shoes, accessories, and books you no longer want and are in good condition. Please keep it to 10 clothing items and 5 books. (All clothing items should be clean and free of stains, tears, etc.)
All ages, any size to wear the colder months. We encourage accessories and gender expansive items.
Clothing will be organized by color. Everything should be washed and ready to wear.
Please, no textbooks, reference books, encyclopedias, and magazines.
BYO bag: First come, first serve.
After the swap, we'll donate leftover clothing to Dress for Success Dutchess County, Dutchess Outreach Children's Closet, and/or The Warwick Hope Chest. Leftover books will be donated to Poughkeepsie library bookstore and little free libraries in Beacon and Newburgh.
Care Tools for Organizers Training
Care Tools for Organizers Training is a two day, 20 hour training that is a micro version of our year long mentorship program. This course is created to support those of us doing care work and organizing through difficult times. This is a wonderful opportunity for activists, teachers, yoga instructors, bodyworkers, healthcare providers, and anyone that is providing care for others while simultaneously experiencing the stresses of our current political and ecological realities.
Over our weekend together, and then through supervised practice hours - participants will walk away with 3 distinct skills for working with others in group settings:
Yoga Nidra meditation instruction
Acupressure Seeds & Beads for ears and body acupoints
Tuning forks applied to body points for relaxation
No prior experience or special certification required for any of these. All of the skills can be utilized either ‘hands on’ or ‘hands off’ depending on what is needed and within your scope of practice.
Time commitment is 2 weekend days (Sat Jan 25th and Sun Jan 26th 10-5) and then 6 hours of clinical supervision to be completed in February and March. Supervised clinical hours will be held at DayDream - offering free guided meditation and acupressure to the community. For your ‘final project’, you will submit a recored meditation and receive feedback.
Cost is $275 for the program and includes Seeds/Beads to take home, supervision, and PDF manual. 9 spots total, 1 scholarship spot. No CEUs or accreditations on this one, but you will be joining the extended DayDream Team and will have the opportunity to practice in the space at the successful completion of your clinical hours and final project.

We will learn about body systems, make herb crafts such as salves and hydrosols, and explore what it means to be “healthy”, in our bodies, relationships, and communities. Along the way, we will uncover and explore various lessons plants have to teach us about being in better relationships with each other and the land.
*and clean them up!
Sessions will take place at DayDream Collaborative Clinic in Beacon (544 Main St) on Monday afternoons from 4-5:30. They are facilitated by Christina Noyes, an elementary educator and herbalist passionate about contributing to a thriving herbalism and community organizing ecosystem grounded in reciprocity, respect and liberation.

Sublime: Group Reiki with Taylor
Sublime: A Higher Power of Group Reiki
with Taylor Jackson of Black Satin Venus
The upcoming Pisces lunar eclipse is transcendent moment in time. Aligned with ruler Neptune in Pisces, it invites spiritual surrender - a beautiful opportunity to connect with the Divine. In this group reiki experience we will ask our Selves to dissolve and connect with our Higher Power - whether concrete (a specific deity or figure), esoteric (the universe, a general sense of oneness), or both.
The session will include intention setting, a guided meditation, and group reiki (touch optional). We will conclude with a grounding exercise and an opportunity to share with the group.
Please bring a yoga mat, pillow, and an object or talisman that to you represents The Divine. Please do not attend this session if your intention is to connect with a wrathful or malefic energy / entity.
Please refrain from ingesting any hallucinogens, psychedelics, or hard drugs for at least four days before the event, and refrain from ingesting other mind-altering substances (alcohol, green) at least 24 hours before the event.

Summer Infusions Herbalism Workshops: Lemon balm glycerite
Turn some of your favorite summer plants into delicious medicinal treats with the herbalists @ Daydream!
Join us on Sunday afternoons this summer to learn about different kinds of herbal infusions that we can make using plants that are easily grown in the garden. We’ll learn about the medicinal and magical properties of Lavender, Comfrey, Oats, Rose, Lemon Balm & practice making simple syrups, infused oils, tinctures, infused honey and oxymels, and glycerites. This workshop series led by Christina Noyes will cover different ways to work with herbs as infusions. We’ll make lemon balm glycerite and you’ll get to take home a jar to experiment with at home. These family friendly workshops are a great way to build your home apothecary!
Each workshop is from 2-4pm at Daydream Collaborative Clinic in Beacon.
Includes all materials & finished product to take home.

This series is led by Christina Noyes (they/them), a local educator, organizer and herbalist. They have years of experience working with adults & kids, so bring the whole family! We just ask that young kids are watched closely by an adult, as Daydream is a medical clinic first and foremost.
