Family Ocean Adventure: Kids Yoga & Read Along with Tranquil Tribes

Dive into a magical evening of movement, story, and sound under the open sky!

Join us for a heartwarming, ocean-themed journey perfect for families and little explorers. Rebecca kicks us off with calming ocean breaths and playful, sea-inspired yoga stretches—flowing like waves and stretching like curious sea creatures. Then, Mandi will read her beloved children’s book: “Avery the Axolotl”—a gentle tale of wonder, mindfulness, and staying true to yourself. The adventure continues with a soothing mini soundbath to lull busy minds into peace, followed by the highlight: the ‘Mini Sound Healers Club!’ Kids are invited to join in, touch, and play a variety of healing instruments—singing bowls, chimes, drums, and more—becoming the soundkeepers of the night. Bring your mat, a blanket, and your sense of wonder. This is connection, creativity, and calm—all in one splashy, soulful hour.

We will meet at Luminescence Peninsula in the park - at the intersection of 54th Ave and Center Blvd, once you enter the park, look for the pathway by the marsh that will lead you to Luminescence. Here is a pin for the location.

Botanical Sketching With Watercolors

Botanical Sketching With Watercolors

Experience the vibrant world of botanical sketching with watercolors—a perfect blend of art and science in this introductory adult beginner-friendly workshop. After a brief orientation, we’ll venture into the park for inspiration, then return to the classroom to add watercolors.

You’ll discover watercolor techniques, with a special focus on mixing and matching colors to capture the beauty of your chosen subject.

In the park, you’ll select a subject and sketch directly from life, using a magnifying glass and ruler to help you achieve accuracy and detail.

Back in the classroom, you’ll learn how to transfer your sketch onto watercolor paper and begin painting, with a focus on glazing techniques. Start with a base color, then build up shadows and enrich your painting one delicate layer at a time.

All materials are supplied, but please bring your own art kit if you prefer.

Guided by Scientific Illustrator Monica Schroeder

Botanical Sketching with Pencil & Ink

In this adult beginner-friendly introduction to botanical sketching, we’ll begin with a brief classroom orientation before we head outdoors to the park for inspiration. After capturing the beauty of nature, we’ll return to the classroom to refine and complete your botanical sketches.

Learn the fundamentals of using artist pencils to build forms. We’ll step up your shape modeling by discussing occlusion shadows, cast shadows, and reflected light. And how to incorporate these into your drawing of plants.

Explore how to break down flowers and leaves into simple, elegant shapes.

We’ll examine the flower details under a magnifying lens for added inspiration.

All materials are provided; if you would like, please bring your own colored pencils, watercolor pencils, or other art supplies.

This workshop is the perfect opportunity to prepare a drawing for painting in the upcoming botanical watercolor class.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll assemble a pre-cut cardboard shadowbox, create a vibrant watercolor background, and draw and paint your own science-inspired mini scene. Wrap up by framing your masterpiece as a whimsical shadowbox collage.

Join scientific illustrator Monica Schroeder for an adults-only, beginner-friendly shadowbox collage workshop celebrating the wonders of microfauna—especially the nearly indestructible tardigrade!

Kick off with a lively mini-presentation packed with quirky and astonishing tardigrade science, then dive into painting, drawing, cutting, and gluing your own whimsical shadowbox inspired by these curious creatures.

We’ll even have a microscope set up—if luck’s on our side, you might spot real tardigrades swimming in moss samples collected from our very own park!

Monica will be available for individualized guidance and feedback.

All materials are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own supplies if you prefer:

  • Colored Markers

  • Watercolors

  • Cardboard box

  • Mats to frame your box

Come for the science, stay for the art—or simply to meet your neighbors! This free community class is a great way to connect, create, and uncover the hidden lives of microfauna in a fun, hands-on setting.

Children aged 14 or older must be accompanied by a guardian.

Taught by Monica Schroeder, scientific illustrator & kayaker
