SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Living from the Heart in Today's World | Conversation with Spirit - Aaron and Yeshua
DESCRIPTION:A special conversation with Spirit with channelers Barbara Brodsky and Colette Simone. We live in a world where there is discord\, which is part of our human experience. Discord is uncomfortable! We cannot co-create the world we seek by turning our back on the experience of discord but only by opening our hearts. We might say\, “Thank you\, Teacher\,” to the challenge. How do we learn to ground ourselves in the essence of Light that is non-dual with darkness and to co-create from that light while neither ignoring nor enacting the darkness. Some of our spirit friends speak through both Colette and Barbara and enjoy moving between the mediums and often conversing with each other as well. There will also be a time for questions from the participants. \ndeepspring.org

This class is beginner friendly and all materials are included\, so just bring yourself (and maybe a craft loving friend since registration is buy one\, get one 50% off)! \nYou’ll get to customize your piece by choosing from a variety of cord colors and decorative beads. Whether you’re looking to unwind\, try something new\, or enjoy a relaxing afternoon surrounded by books\, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to slow down and create something both beautiful and functional. You’ll leave with a handmade plant hanger and the skills to continue your macramé journey at home! \nKnotty Macrame Co. aims to rescue macramé from its “old fashioned” reputation by sharing designs that feel modern and a little bit magical. A literature lover at heart with a degree in English\, owner Bri Bondy’s path has led from books to fiber art\, and she’s found that creativity and connection has always been at the center of everything she does. Over the past few years\, Knotty Macrame Co. has had the joy of hosting numerous macramé plant hanger workshops at public venues throughout Metro Detroit\, as well as private in-home events. The workshops are designed to be beginner-friendly\, relaxed\, and fun\, giving everyone the chance to get lost in their creative flow and connect with others. There’s nothing better than watching someone leave with a handmade piece they’re proud of and the confidence to keep creating long after the workshop ends.

SUMMARY:September Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Jack Edelstein
DESCRIPTION:September 2026 Artist of the Month: Jack Edelstein \nExhibit Title: NonDualistical: The Truth of Polar Opposites \n\nJack Edelstein’s early artistic efforts began with wood: sculptural forms and organically shaped furniture that echoed the contours of the natural world. In 2019\, he set aside his chisels and power tools and turned toward graphic art\, opening a new chapter in his creative practice. \nJack’s graphic designs are devoted entirely to the ancient symbol of yin and yang — also know as the Taijitu or the Cosmic Dyad — the emblem of complementary polarity. He explores the profound truth that opposites are not enemies but partners in a higher harmony. Light and shadow\, love and hate\, good and evil: each member of the pair exists only through the other\, each completes what the other begins. \nThe Taijitu becomes a lens through which to contemplate duality not as conflict\, but as interdependence—a philosophical rendering that stresses complementarity rather than opposition. My art is an inquiry into the deeper unity that holds tension without erasing difference\, a visual meditation on the way truth emerges from the meeting of contraries. \nThrough repeated engagement with this singular form\, Jack highlights the quiet intelligence of balance\, and the unity that emerges when dualities meet without erasing one another. \nTechnically\, the graphic renderings rely on precise symmetry\, controlled curvature\, and deliberate spatial tension. The background of each Taijitu becomes a stage on which the words themselves balance\, mirror\, or invert one another. Typography is treated as a sculptural element—weighted\, rotated\, or nested to echo the swirling motion of the Dyad. The result is a fusion of language and form: a graphic practice that uses words as shapes and shapes as philosophy. \nAll proceeds go to Groundcover News. \nWebsite: www.JackEdelstein.com

SUMMARY:Mantras for Healing and Compassion: Buddhist Mantra Chanting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“Mantra” is a term that makes frequent appearances in various areas of our society today. Mantras for healing\, personal mantras\, daily mantras\, mantra in a yoga class\, mantra as a brand\, and so on. But where do mantras originate and what was their purpose? What are some examples of ancient mantras that still survive today and are used by spiritual traditions around the world? For example\, one of the most popular mantras in the Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhist tradition is the mantra Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum\, which often appears on yoga matts\, prayer flags in coffee shops\, or laptop stickers. But what does this mantra really mean? How is it used in meditation and chanting practices? What are the benefits of this mantra for healing and mental health? This experiential workshop will explore these questions by having a go at chanting some of these mantras as they have been chanted for centuries across the Himalayas and Inner Asia. Dr. Ujeed who will be leading the session spent years collecting and learning different melodies for meditative mantra recitation from Buddhist teachers from various ancient Buddhist traditions from Tibet\, the Himalayas and Mongolia and will be sharing them during the workshop. \nDr. Sangseraima Ujeed completed her MA and PhD degrees in Tibetan/Himalayan Buddhism at the University of Oxford and now teaches at the University of Michigan as an Assistant Professor of Tibetan Buddhism. She grew up as a practicing Buddhist in Inner Mongolia and is a long-time student of several Tibetan Buddhist teachers from Tibet and Mongolia. She represents one of the growing number of scholar-practitioners who specialize in both the study of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition as well as the practice and implementation of its precious teachings in meaningful ways for contemporary society. \nCharity Fundraiser Event for Chamba Animal Care Center\, Ladakh. Donation encouraged but not expected. \nFree and open to the public.
