SUMMARY:love in action: Community Card & Letter Writing Circle (Register by 8/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Dimple Dhabalia\nDate/Time: Sunday\, August 9\, 10am – Noon\nCost: free; donations appreciated\nClass size: 3-16 participants\n(Register before midnight on August 6) \nWe were never meant to navigate the seasons of life alone. \nJoin Dimple Dhabalia\, writer\, author\, and founder of love in action empathy cards for a two-hour\, in-person community gathering — a small\, intentional space to slow down\, drop in\, and write to the people in our lives. \nRitual is how humans have always marked time. The crossing of a threshold. The arrival of grief\, or joy\, or wonder\, or rest. \nIn a world where loneliness has become an epidemic and speed has been prioritized over intimacy\, we don’t need more efficiency in how we care for each other. We need more ritual. Writing to someone by hand is a ritual of return. Sealing an envelope is a ritual of commitment. Sending a card when there is no occasion except the memory of someone’s loss\, or a desire to honor their joy. \nEach session opens with a brief grounding practice. We write together\, and those who wish to share are invited to—though sharing is always optional. This is not a writing workshop. It is a guided space for presence\, reflection\, and connection. Bring your own cards or purchase a set at the gathering. You don’t need to be a writer. You don’t need to prepare. You will never be required to share. \nAll are welcome. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:CANCELED: Junk Journaling Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been canceled. \nInstructor: Azita R. Houshiar\nDate/Time: Sunday\, August 9\, 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus $10 supply fee\nClass size: 5-12 participants\n(Register by August 5) \nCome to play and experiment freely\, and leave with pages started and ideas you can continue exploring long after the class ends. Junk Journaling blends the art of collage with the practice of journaling\, offering a playful\, low-pressure way to explore creativity without worrying about perfection. The emphasis is on curiosity\, intuition\, experimentation\, and discovering your own expressive style. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll handcraft a journal using everyday “junk” and receive guidance on using found paper\, packaging\, tags\, embellishments\, to create layered\, expressive journal pages that reflect your personal perspective and storytelling style. \nAll supplies will be included\, such as paper\, ephemera\, stickers\, tape\, glue\, and basic tools. You’re also encouraged to bring old photographs\, mementos\, or personal collage materials you enjoy using\, especially items that hold meaning for you. \nThis beginner-friendly class is open to teenagers and adults of all skill levels. \n \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
