Join us on August 23 from 1-3 p.m. for a summertime celebration of nature, magic, and the unseen.

In myth and folklore, faeries are more than mischievous winged creatures—they are elemental spirits, nature guardians, and mirrors of our intuition and imagination. This whimsical-yet-grounded workshop invites you to reconnect with the spirit of the land, the power of story, and the subtle realms that shimmer just beyond the veil.
Guided by Nicole Eng of Westerly Wellbeing, we’ll begin with a faerie-inspired (iced) tea party—whimsical garden party attire encouraged—before exploring the deeper lore of the Fae. You’ll learn about different types of faerie spirits, their connection to the elements, and how to respectfully engage with their energy in your personal practice.
Then, you’ll craft your own living altar—a miniature faerie terrarium built from natural materials. These enchanted mini-worlds serve as portals of connection, intention, and reverence for the wild magic around and within you.
This gathering is for anyone curious about the intersection of creativity, element-based spirituality, and the mythic imagination. Whether you're new to faerie lore or have always sensed something stirring in the trees—you are warmly invited to listen for the whispers.
