Inspired by the forests, water, and quiet spaces of Northern Ontario, this interpretive textile workshop invites you to slow down and create with intention. Whether you are new to sewing or have years of experience, you will be encouraged to work intuitively with fabric, texture, and layered materials.

By the end of the session, you will leave with a finished textile artwork, stretched and ready to frame.

Join us for a hands-on Drum Making Class with JoAnne Parker! Spend the day creating your own unique drum. The shell of the drum, the tanned hide, the strings, and the drumstick are all prepared by JoAnne and her husband, so you can focus on assembling and personalizing your instrument.

Jo-Anne will paint your drum after it dries.

In addition, enjoy intuitive readings, a light lunch, and tea. It’s a day of creativity, connection, and friendship — a wonderful opportunity to find your voice through the rhythm of your drum.

All materials are provided. Just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!

“Come bask in the vibrations of a sound journey paired with the energy of the blood moon eclipse. An eclipse is a powerful cosmic call to explore the subconscious. An opportunity for deep reflection, release of old patterns and surrender to your highest self. The worm moon or sugar moon symbolizes the reawakening of the wild world. The thaw begins and the promise of the new season is arriving in the warming air and lengthening days. Fully arrive in awareness to the sounds of flute, hand pan, buffalo drum, intuitive vocals, didgeridoo and more.” 

Ayla Frank is a musician and off gridding student of the natural world. Supporting journeys with the aim of returning to heart center by releasing shame, guilt and embarrassment to be present in your wholeness and personal power. Holding space for all of you and your authenticity, whatever fuels your inner light. 

With over a decade of formal musical training, backing a deep understanding of the impact vibrations have on both the physical and psychological. Expect a unique sound journey with high musicality, original compositions and intuitive play. 

Join us in sacred rhythm, where each heartbeat meets the drum. In this circle, we gather not to perform, but to remember—to listen, to feel, to express. Through the ancient language of drumming, we awaken connection: to ourselves, to one another, and to the pulse of something greater. No experience is needed—only the willingness to be present. We will drum, breathe, and be together in a space of safety, rhythm, and release. Bring your own drum if you have one—or come as you are. Instruments and hearts will be shared.

Guided by Nature – Mixed Media (2–3 hours · All materials supplied) Rooted in the colours, textures, and quiet rhythms of Northern Ontario, this interpretive mixed media workshop invites you to create through intuition and curiosity. Guided rather than instructed, you will explore a range of materials and techniques, allowing the piece to unfold as you work. Using a custom wood panel, you will create a 12" x 12" artwork that reflects your own response to the landscape. This is a relaxed, welcoming space for exploration and experimentation, and by the end of the session you will leave with a finished, frameable piece of art.
