SUMMARY:Leather Work - Making a leather belt from scratch
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make a leather belt from start to finish in a hands-on\, beginner-friendly workshop. This class takes place in my workshop in St. Jacobs\, where you’ll be guided through each step — from cutting and sizing to edge finishing and attaching hardware. No experience is necessary\, and all tools and materials for your first belt are provided. You’ll be able to choose from a range of leather colours and hardware finishes to create something that suits your style. If you’d like to make more than one belt during the session\, additional materials will be available for purchase. This is a practical\, small-group class focused on learning by doing. You’ll leave with a finished belt and a clear understanding of how it’s made.

SUMMARY:Restorative Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:inspired by yogic rest and the inward turning of pratyahara\, this gong-led sound immersion invites you into a felt state of deep relaxation\, allowing the body to soften while gently becoming aware of awareness itself. the practice moves through the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep — where effort fades\, yet attention remains. the experience unfolds in two parts. we begin with guided meditation\, including intention setting (sankalpa) and a gentle rotation of consciousness\, preparing the ground for the second half: an expansive gong immersion designed to support stillness\, release\, and inward listening. traditionally\, this state of relaxation allows us to remain aware while the body rests\, disengage from habitual identification\, and experience consciousness without content. what remains when doing stops\, yet awareness stays? the evening will close with an optional tea circle — a quiet space to sit\, share\, reflect\, or simply be in gentle community before returning outward.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Sound Bath & Tea Circle
DESCRIPTION:held under the light of the full moon\, this evening opens a space for realization — not surface-level clarity\, but the kind that gently shifts your inner compass. what becomes clear when you allow yourself to pause\, listen beneath the noise\, and create space for perspective? what emerges when awareness reconnects with a deeper knowing already present within? through deep gong resonance\, shimmering overtones\, and oceanic textures\, the immersion invites the body to soften\, the mind to quiet\, and the nervous system to settle into stillness. the experience is designed to support reflection\, presence\, and embodied awareness — gently guiding the way forward not through force\, but through listening. held in a small\, intimate circle\, this full moon gathering offers space to rest\, reset\, and reconnect inwardly. following the sound immersion\, we gather for an optional tea circle — to sit\, to share\, reflect\, or simply be in quiet community before returning outward.
