Practice layering color, adding texture, and refining details, then explore easy ways to mount your artwork for a clean, professional finish ready for gifting. Choose from white, black, kraft, or crackle-finish cards and draw inspiration from ideas such as florals, landscapes, animals, or whimsical designs, or create something entirely your own. Each card comes with a matching kraft envelope so it can be mailed, gifted, framed, or kept. Most participants will have time to make up to three cards during the session.

Ease into long-held, floor-based shapes that gently release tight connective tissues through the hips, pelvis, lower spine, and shoulders. Where many popular classes focus on muscular engagement, this Yin practice invites softness and stillness. Poses are sustained for several minutes, giving fascia time to respond while the mind settles. The unhurried pace complements stronger, more active yoga and can make sitting in meditation more accessible. Live crystal singing bowls accompany the session, offering a soothing point of focus and surrounding you with chakra-tuned vibrations. Many participants leave feeling deeply relaxed, a bit warmer, more balanced, and calm.

Vibology offers a recurring Moon Circle aligned with each new and full moon. Each circle has a unique focus, and all are welcome.

The gathering concludes with a single card pull for every attendee. Admission is free, and donations are appreciated.

Design a wool folk character inspired by beloved storybooks and folk traditions. Choose a color palette of earthy forest shades, rich burgundies, or soft blues reminiscent of water and sky, then personalize features with your preferred skin tone and hair color. To complete the scene, craft a rustic broom from natural materials. Keep it simple and classic, or decorate it with dried herbs, flowers, and woodland accents. You can mount the finished figure on a natural stone base or take it home unattached for your own display. As the character takes shape, learn needle felting techniques that bring out expression and personality. Those with experience can spend extra time on fine details, and everyone will leave with felting needles and additional wool to continue refining their piece at home. The finished creation makes a charming addition to a bookshelf, seasonal vignette, or collection of handmade keepsakes. Cancellation and refund policy: cancel at least three weeks in advance for a full refund. With two to three weeks of notice, receive full credit toward a future workshop. Within two weeks, the fee is nonrefundable, but you may transfer your spot to someone else. If attendance is not possible and the spot cannot be transferred, some workshops may allow later pickup of class supplies, though this is not guaranteed.
