✨ Swap, Share & Be Inspired – Maitland’s Free Movie Night, Potluck & Clothing Swap!

FREE Movie Night + Potluck + Clothing Swap | The Yoga Shala Maitland

Maitland, Florida — August 29, 2025
Something magical is happening at The Yoga Shala Maitland this August. Imagine walking into a warm, inviting space filled with the laughter of neighbors, the scent of home-cooked dishes, and the promise of discovering something new — whether it’s a fresh outfit, a new friend, or an inspiring idea that could change the way you see the world.

That’s exactly what our Free Community Movie Night + Potluck + Clothing Swap is all about.
This isn’t just another Friday night… it’s an experience you’ll remember.

👕 Begin the Night with a Clothing Swap (5:30 – 6:15 PM)

Before the lights dim, we start with a burst of creativity and sustainability.
Bring along clean, gently loved clothes from your closet — the kind you’d give to a friend — and browse treasures brought by others.

It’s like a mini boutique, except everything is FREE.

  • Find a unique top, cozy sweater, or dress that tells a story.

  • Pass on items you no longer wear, knowing they’ll find a new home.

  • Or simply come with open hands and a curious heart — you don’t need to bring clothes to participate!

You’ll be amazed how much joy a little swapping can bring.

🥗 Gather for a Community Potluck

When the swapping winds down, we gather around tables brimming with color and flavor.
Whether you bring:

  • A lovingly made homemade dish

  • Your go-to store-bought snack

  • A refreshing drink to share

…your contribution will be part of a tapestry of tastes that reflect the heart of our community.

This is where conversations spark, laughter flows, and strangers turn into friends.

🎥 Get Inspired by HEAL – The Feature Film (6:15 PM)

Once the plates are full and hearts are warm, we dim the lights for a movie that will leave you deeply moved.

We’re featuring HEAL, a 2017 documentary that explores the profound connection between mind, body, and health. Through the wisdom of experts like Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, Marianne Williamson, and Joe Dispenza, you’ll discover:

  • How stress, emotions, and beliefs shape our physical well-being

  • True stories of people who overcame serious illnesses

  • The powerful blend of science and spirituality that can activate the body’s natural healing

Bring a blanket, a cushion, and your sense of wonder — this is more than a movie; it’s a spark for your own wellness journey.

🌟 Why You’ll Love This Night

  • It’s 100% Free — no tickets, no fees, just good vibes.

  • Connect with like-minded people right here in Maitland.

  • Leave with new clothes, new friends, and new inspiration.

  • Savor a potluck spread of home-cooked & store-bought favorites.

  • Experience a cozy, uplifting movie night in the heart of your community.
