An interactive beginner class at Crystals EnLight invites kids to explore the basics of energy and magick. Participants learn what energy is, what it means, how it works, how to notice it, and simple ways to apply it. The session includes an introduction to a few crystals and a focused practice on using them to support yourself and others. Everyone discovers what a crystal grid is, builds one, and practices how to activate and deactivate it. Each attendee takes home a personal grid and crystals, and also chooses a dragon to accompany their magickal journey. Designed to be hands on, this first class in the series welcomes ages 8 to 81 and serves as an introductory experience in energy work. The cost is $25 per participant, with space limited to 15 people.

The inaugural gathering of the Humane Letters Society of the Magic Valley introduces Bored to Death, a series that lays out the Framework of Recovered Vision, an approach to the liberal arts that treats great works as formative encounters rather than mere facts to consume. Before turning to the first major text, Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, the group will reflect on how everyday habits encourage quick escapes from boredom and will explore a progression that moves from boredom into leisure, then longing, contemplation, and ultimately transcendence. This foundation is intended to guide how participants read, discuss, and receive great texts together. People of all ages are welcome, especially those interested in great books, Christian wisdom, imagination, beauty, and rich conversation.
