Monday, May 18, 2026 5:00-5:45 PM - Jameson Fellowship Mixer
Opportunity to connect with other fellows and network at The Phoenix Community Center (3638 E Sunset Rd, #110, Las Vegas, NV, 89120). The Phoenix is a national nonprofit founded in 2006 that provides free, peer-led recovery support for individuals impacted by substance use and mental health challenges.
Our approach is non-clinical, meaning we focus on community, connection, and peer leadership as essential components of long-term recovery. Over the past two decades, The Phoenix has served more than 1 million individuals nationwide through in-person, virtual, and digital programming. Since expanding to Las Vegas six years ago, we have provided services to over 18,800 individuals in Clark County.
6:00-7:00 PM - OPTIONAL Phoenix Yoga with Michelle
If interested, fellows are invited to stay for an all-levels yoga flow, taught by Michelle Costigan, The Phoenix Community Center Manager (JF '25). This class is open to all members of The Phoenix community. We ask that everyone attending be mindful of our ethos of honoring sobriety and recovery by committing to 48+ hours of substance-free time before the class.
Journal Prompt: Identify where compassion feels easy for you and where it feels challenging. Perhaps you're naturally kind to children but impatient with elderly drivers. Maybe you extend grace to friends' mistakes but judge strangers harshly. These patterns reveal important information about your compassion landscape and where growth is possible.
Map: Notice which situations, people, or circumstances naturally evoke your compassion, and which ones trigger judgment or withdrawal. Gently stretch your compassion comfort zone in one challenging area.
