Are you dreaming of living more closely with the land, planning a homestead, or beginning a land-based business? This live online course focuses on how to forge the essential connection between sustainable land stewardship and a values-driven livelihood built on that land. We help you create a plan that aligns your goals with the land's resources and develop concrete next steps toward making that plan a reality. We will delve into:

- Options for land ownership and alternative forms of land access

- Land assessment and beginning planning using a holistic approach–what to look for and how to plan from the resources you actually have

- Prioritizing your needs and goals, so you don’t burn out and have joy in your life every day

- Creating a step-by-step, focused plan for growth and progress

- Lessons from others who have started successful farms or homesteads

Whether your interest is in full-time or part-time, individual or group, rural or urban homesteading, this is for you!

Join us in our downtown jewelry studio and create a piece of jewelry you'll be proud to wear! Choose from a variety of projects, including rings, earrings, charms, pendants, and more. You'll personalize your design with your own creative touches while learning basic jewelry-making techniques in a fun, welcoming environment.

Whether you're making a keepsake for yourself or a meaningful handmade gift, you'll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece and the satisfaction of saying, "I made that!"

*Drop in starting at 11am. Arrive by 3 to be sure you have time to complete the piece you want!

Prices start at just $25 and vary by project, with options available in sterling silver, brass, and a selection of gemstones.

Kid-friendly! Suitable for ages 6 and up. Younger participants or certain projects may require assistance from a parent or guardian to ensure everyone stays safe while creating.

Great for couples, bridemaid parties, girls time out, and everyone in between!
