COURAGE: Nude Yoga
Event Information
Are you ready to strip away your insecurities and step into a bold realm of self-discovery? This unapologetically inclusive nude experience challenges you to confront vulnerability and take intentional action through mindful movement. This is not just another yoga class; it’s a transformative space where judgments are left at the door, and everyone is seen, heard, acknowledged, understood, and fully supported. Moving without clothes offers another layer to a typical practice by taking all physical and energetic layers off your body. Nudity holds lots of information; we are completely exposed to others and to ourselves. Nudity encourages you to become more conscious in all areas of your body, mind, and heart to help build your confidence, increase intimacy with yourself, and to explore the full-spectrum of your life. No matter where you are on your journey, you are invited to shed not only your clothes but also the layers of self-doubt that hold you back. Together, we will dive deep into self-awareness, ignite intentional action, and foster profound connections with ourselves and each other through movement that empowers. Please read the FAQs before you sign up. Reach out if you have any questions.

DESA presents: The Ellington Experience Fundraiser
Event Information
Dear Ellington Supporter, In 1974, artists and leading visionaries Peggy Cooper Cafritz and Alvin (Mike) Malone established the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in a school in Northwest Washington, D.C. formerly known as Western High School. This began 50 years of free and excellent artistic and academic education to students who could not otherwise afford that opportunity. Their vision grew over the years into the world-renowned institution that today offers a life-changing arts education to underserved, but talented, District youth regardless of background or ability to pay. We are inviting you to become part of this enduring legacy. On February 27, 2026, the school will continue its 50th anniversary in a celebratory event called the Ellington Experience, a showcase of all eight arts departments, featuring student performances, a sponsor reception, and silent and live auctions. The proceeds from this event will directly benefit current students by funding master classes from highly regarded artists, including Ellington alumni, travel opportunities for students to learn from major production houses/exhibitions (a first for many of our students), and procurement of industry-standard equipment for all departments, which ultimately enhances integrated arts through the fabric of our institution. Your tax-deductible sponsorship will continue the DESA legacy that has produced countless leaders and professionals not only in the arts but across all disciplines. Please consider sponsoring today! Sponsorships range from $500 to $25,000 and will ensure that you have premier seating at the show, access to the VIP reception, and your name featured on event materials and the school website. Please see sponsorship opportunities below. We look forward to your support.
