This weekend in Horseheads, NY

Explore the basics of machine sewing in Buttons+Bobbins: Learn to Sew, a free arts class for teens and adults at Community Arts of Elmira. Teaching Artist Filomena Lisi Jack of Filomena Jack Studio leads the session, and all sewing machines and materials are provided. Participants are also welcome to bring a personal machine or project to work on. Make it a creative outing with friends or family. This offering is part of the Free Arts Fourth Saturdays Sewing series, with arts education at Community Arts of Elmira supported by the Community Foundation of Elmira Corning and the Finger Lakes.

This monthly meetup and workshop focuses on tarot and serves as part two of a multi-session series. It is free, and participants are asked to bring their own tarot deck. No paid readings will be offered, and attendance at the previous session is not required. The program introduces the Major Arcana and the Fool’s Journey, shares practical tools for memory and learning, and includes a group, hands-on interactive reading. Open to current members and anyone curious about the group, the monthly circle usually features an opening and closing ritual, a themed workshop or discussion, and time to chat about witchy topics with kindred spirits. An optional barter and trade element invites attendees to bring magical items to exchange or give away, such as a tarot deck they no longer use or crystals they do not need. Only barter or freely given items are allowed, and no money may be exchanged.

Enjoy an evening of laughs at ILL EAGLE Taphouse while supporting a nonprofit organization. The event combines comedy with fundraising to help raise money for the cause.

Set aside an hour to step out of the daily rush and settle into peace, reflection, and renewal. This monthly gathering at Essence Healing in Corning features a guided Max Meditation experience, a cup of custom organic meditation tea, quiet time for prayer and personal reflection, and a short reading from Hermetic wisdom to inspire contemplation and inner growth. It welcomes both first-time meditators and long-time practitioners, with a focus on calming the mind, deeply relaxing the body, easing stress, and fostering clarity and inner awareness so there is room to reconnect with an authentic sense of self. It is especially supportive for anyone carrying tension, seeking balance, or exploring personal growth. The cost is $15 plus a small processing fee, which includes the guided meditation, tea, silent prayer, and the wisdom reading. Held on the last Sunday of each month.
