🌿Come experience the ancient art of Tai Chi Gung at Bayfront Park.

Tai Chi Gung is a simple yoga, passed down through an unbroken lineage of master to student for over 3,000 years. This sacred art combines meditative movements with gentle breathing to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

Through Tai Chi Gung, we learn to directly connect to the energy that flows within and around our physical and metaphysical body, aligning spirit, mind, and body.

These gentle yet powerful exercises release stress, enhance energy flow, and cultivate a deep sense of peace, offering a transformative path to balance and renewal.

✨This is a free weekly introductory class open to all levels.

We meet on the lawn behind Marina Jacks. (The island portion of the park)

Class runs for 30-45 minutes

🕉️Donations are welcome and appreciated.

Honoring Tradition with United Cigars
at Maduro's Cigar Bar & Lounge

Tuesday Jun 24, 2025, 11am - 3pm

Event Overview:
Join us at Maduro's Cigar Bar & Lounge - Sarasota’s premier destination for cigar enthusiasts - for a special day celebrating United Cigars’ Gold Star line. Experience the rich legacy and bold new blend of Gold Star, now a regular production cigar handcrafted in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera William Ventura.

What to Expect:
Brand Spotlight: Discover the story behind United Cigars’ Gold Star, a brand first introduced in 1995 and revived in 2024 with a limited edition that supported the Navy Seal Gold Star Program. The Gold Star line now returns as a symbol of honor and tradition, featuring a blend that pays homage to classic Dominican craftsmanship while delivering a modern, unforgettable smoking experience.

Tasting Experience: Enjoy the medium-bodied Gold Star in your choice of Robusto, Toro, or Gordo sizes, featuring an Ecuador Habano 2000 Intermedio wrapper, Sumatra binder, and a rich filler blend of Dominican Ligeros, Criollo ’98, Corojo ’98, and Connecticut Broadleaf. Savor notes of cocoa, almond, honey, and cinnamon in every draw.

Atmosphere: Relax in the upscale comfort of Maduro’s, with its unmatched cigar selection, fine wine and beer offerings, and welcoming lounge environment - the perfect setting to connect with fellow aficionados and celebrate the art of premium cigar making.

Why Attend? This is your chance to be among the first to experience the new Gold Star by United Cigars, a blend that combines tradition, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. Whether you’re a seasoned cigar lover or new to the lounge, United Cigars at Maduro’s promises a memorable evening of flavor, camaraderie, and celebration.
