Healing Sound Bath Workshop Bri’s Lodge invites you to a deeply nourishing sound bath guided by the tones and vibrations of crystal singing bowls. Each session is intuitive and unique — sometimes soft and dreamy, sometimes powerful and transformative — always offering exactly what your soul needs. This isn’t a scripted experience. The facilitator tunes into the energy of the room — the tension, the pain, the stuck emotions, the longing for clarity and peace. The bowls guide the group gently through release, meeting you where you are and carrying you where you need to go. This is your space to simply be — to receive, soften, and let go of what you’ve been carrying. What to Know: No experience necessary -Yoga mats and cushions provided (bring a pillow or blanket for extra comfort or your own yoga mat, if preferred) Guided intuitively through energy healing, somatic awareness, and deep listening. The facilitator is not a certified sound healer — please honor your body and inner knowing.

  Understanding Minnesota's Foreign Workforce & What It Means for Our Regional Economy Join us as we welcome Fernando Quijano, Community Economics Extension Educator with the University of Minnesota Extension, for a timely discussion on Minnesota's foreign workforce and its growing role in meeting employer workforce needs. Fernando will share findings from new research that profiles foreign workers across Minnesota, including the occupations they fill, the industries where they are employed, regional hiring trends, county-level workforce data, employer insights, and earnings information. His research highlights the significant role foreign workers play in addressing workforce shortages, particularly in critical occupations where employers struggle to find domestic talent. The findings are especially relevant to Stearns County, which employs a disproportionately large number of foreign workers in key industries. This presentation will provide valuable data and insights for business leaders, policymakers, and community stakeholders interested in strengthening our regional workforce and economy. Don't miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of one of Minnesota's most important workforce trends and its impact on Central Minnesota. ________________________________________________________   The Government Affairs Division of the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce is comprised of business people and volunteers who have a passion for issues and activities at all levels of government.  Locally, statewide, and nationally, they serve as advocates for all Chamber members.  Join us at our regular meetings on the third Wednesday of the month at 7:30 - 9:00 a.m. Topics are different each month.  Any Chamber member with interest in government is welcome to attend.
