Ancestral connection and reverence practices are woven into the fabric of every earth-centered culture. Yet, as Westerners, we have not only lost the skill and practices of ancestor tending, but we carry many unhealed traumas and burdens of the past as a result. Join Joseph Shumway (certified Ancestral Lineage Healer, genealogist, and ritualist) to learn basic ways to reclaim lost connection with your ancient, earth-honoring ancestors, along with how Ancestral Lineage Healing can be a powerful tool to heal intergenerational wounds and restore connection to the magical gifts of our ancestral lineages. Participants will learn basic concepts of Ancestral Lineage Healing and how to safely work and connect with their ancestors. Joseph will also provide a guided meditative practice to help folks learn how to connect with their Wise, Loving Ancestors.

Welcome to Ceramics! In this beginning to intermediate class, adult and teen 14+ students are invited to learn or expand on the foundations of working with clay. Students can expect demonstrations to support learning methods in pottery wheel throwing (centering, pulling, and vessel formation) and hand-building (pinch, coil, slab formation). After demonstrations, students may work freely on their own projects with instructor support. Additional instruction will be woven into lessons to build knowledge in the areas of surface techniques, function, design, and expression. We highly recommend students take this class a few times before moving up. While projects can very, practice and repetition in an instructor led environment are powerful tools for progressing. Students are highly encouraged to support each other and communicate with instructors their course related questions, needs, and curiosities! PRICE: $199 for 8 Week Class Plus Fees.

Join us the first Tuesday of every month this fall for a mystical series of evenings celebrating Sufi Poetry. The Rumi Poetry Club was founded by Rasoul Shams in 2007, on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of Jalâluddin Rumi’s birth. Since then, they have celebrated the poetry, inspiration, and perennial teachings of Rumi and other poets of the heart, nature, and spiritual life from around the world. Rasoul Shams first learned of Rumi's poems in his Persian classes as a young boy in Iran. The works of Rumi and other Persian poets have been his spiritual companions for decades. He has studied and lived in India, Japan, and the USA. His books include Rumi: The Art of Loving, Rumi Essays: On the Life, Poetry, and Vision of the Greatest Persian Sufi Poet, The Words of Rumi, and Through Love Pain is Healed.
