Sound Bath
7:45pm, Sacred Space Astoria, @sacredspace_astoria
Sound baths are a great way to dip your toes into the vast ocean of sound healing––absorb the rich textures and sensations that sound can provide, encouraging that which needs to be released to release and that which needs to be affirmed to rise to the surface. We recommend bringing a yoga mat, though a limited number of mats are available for rent
Cost: $35

Hand Building Summer Session!
6pm, Mostly Good Studios, @mostlygoodstudios
Over 6 weeks, learn and explore various hand building methods like slab building, coiling, pinching, and modeling. This hand building course is great for anyone looking to learn more about working with clay, build on and gain confidence in their already developed skill set, or commit to their art practice with time set aside once a week to learn and grow! We will be working with an intimate cohort of no more than 12 people, so each student will receive individualized attention based on their interests and goals. Whether you’re a beginner or have been working with clay for some time, this class will meet you where you’re at and give you space and tools to grow. All final work will be fired at no additional cost. All students will have unlimited access to our open studio sessions at no additional cost.
