Create What You Call In: A Sacred Affirmation and Watercolor Workshop

At Topaz Apothecary, this intimate workshop blends affirmation writing, watercolor meditation, and Kundalini-inspired practices. It begins with an exploration of affirmations, tracing their roots in healing traditions and their modern connection to how the brain rewires. Participants then craft statements that align with personal intentions, whether oriented toward healing, abundance, self compassion, or clarity. A tea blend intended to open the heart center helps create a receptive mood before a guided painting experience. Attendees translate their words into color and form with simple watercolor techniques, supported by breath, gentle music, and reflective prompts, and no previous art experience is required. The session continues with pranayama, mantra, and a Kundalini kriya to anchor intentions, along with time for relaxation and reiki. Everyone leaves with a personalized watercolor affirmation piece, a take home manual covering the practice and its history, and a kriya to continue using at home. Materials, tea, snacks, and refreshments are provided. The investment is $66. Attendance is limited to 12 for a small, supportive setting, and the workshop requires at least two participants to run.

Pour Your Own Epoxy™

Take part in a hands-on epoxy woodworking workshop at Raised Grain Brewing Company. Choose what to make, whether a charcuterie board with an epoxy river, a lazy susan, a clock, a key holder shelf, a set of coasters, or a mini pair. Projects use premium black walnut and other quality hardwoods, and you can select up to two epoxy colors upon arrival. After crafting, pieces cure for about a week, then go through a careful finishing phase that typically takes 8 to 10 weeks, with the timeline affected by class size and shipping. Finished creations are shipped to participants so they arrive ready to enjoy. All ticket sales are final. If you cannot attend, you may send someone in your place. Every attendee age 12 or older needs a ticket, and a couples ticket allows two people to collaborate on a single project.

Lunar Eclipse Viewing, Talks, Open House and Observing

Experience a night of skywatching at a nearly century-old, three-acre observatory in New Berlin as a deep lunar eclipse unfolds. The evening features a presentation by astrophotographers Todd Weiler and William Gottemoller on eclipse chasing, recommended camera settings, and practical field tips. As darkness settles, volunteers will offer guided observing through multiple telescopes, weather permitting, highlight galaxies, star clusters, and nebulas, lead informal tours, and answer questions about amateur astronomy and membership in the Milwaukee Astronomical Society. If skies are clear, the eclipse will reach a dramatic maximum with about 93 percent of the Moon immersed in Earth’s umbra, creating a reddish hue with a brighter white area along the northeastern limb. The Horwitz De-Remer Planetarium will be on site with activities and information. This free public event is planned rain or shine. Donations are appreciated to support the volunteer-run facilities, and a minimum contribution of $5 per person is suggested due to parking impacts on the grounds. Dress for outdoor conditions and consider bringing bug spray and a flashlight. To protect night vision, keep lights dim or cover a flashlight with red tape available at the welcome table. Amenities include a climate-controlled meeting hall and restrooms. Parking is available on site with guidance from volunteers. The meeting hall is wheelchair accessible via ramp, and most other buildings are at ground level.
