✨ Dear Future Me A letter, sealed in time. Participants write a letter to a future version of themselves — one year from now — capturing thoughts, hopes, questions, or reminders they want to return to later. Each person is given beautiful stationery, envelopes, and a wax seal set. After writing, they melt wax and seal their letter by hand, turning the moment into a small ritual of intention and closure. The sealed letters are collected and safely kept, then mailed back to participants one year later — creating a quiet, surprising moment of reflection in the future. This is not about perfection or performance. It’s about pausing long enough to speak honestly to the version of yourself you haven’t met yet. Includes Guided writing prompt Premium paper + envelope Wax & seal stamping ritual One drink (coffee / tea) Letter storage + future delivery

Echoes on Paper is a quiet, immersive evening where sound becomes a starting point for making. Participants take part in a live soundbath and create art in response to what they hear — translating rhythm, vibration, and atmosphere into colour and mark-making. The focus is not on technique or outcome, but on noticing how sound moves through the body and onto the page. This is a slow, sensory session designed to support presence and attention. There is no sharing requirement and no expectation to “make something good.” Just time, materials, and space to explore. You will be seated on the floor with your own canvas, painting as the sound unfolds around you. What happens Begin with a short grounding and sound introduction Experience a live soundbath Paint intuitively while sound continues Move between listening, making, and pausing Leave with a finished artwork What’s included 🎧 Live soundbath🎨 Canvas, paints & materials🧻 Floor setup and protective materials🖼 Your completed artwork to take home Price 💵 $65 per person (All materials included)

The Vision Edit is a practical, creative session where participants use images, words, and materials to clarify what they want more of — visually, emotionally, or directionally. Using magazines and curated materials, you’ll assemble a physical vision board that helps surface patterns, preferences, and priorities. The focus is on editing and selection: noticing what draws your attention and arranging it into something clear and intentional. This is a calm, focused making session — not a workshop or a lecture — just time and space to think visually and work with your hands. You’ll leave with a completed board to take home. What you’ll do 🖼 Browse and select images✂️ Cut, arrange, and compose🧠 Notice recurring themes and visual signals🎨 Build a physical vision board What’s included • All materials (magazines, papers, boards, tools) • Light guidance to get started • One drink (coffee / tea)• Your finished vision board

​The Picasso Pair is a gentle, hands-on art session where parents and children create one shared artwork together. Instead of working separately, each pair paints on the same canvas — negotiating space, colours, ideas, and moments as they go. The focus isn’t skill or outcome, but the experience of making something together. This is a simple, playful way to slow down, collaborate, and spend focused time side by side — without instructions, pressure, or doing it “right.” What happens Each pair is given a shared canvas, paints, and brushes, and invited to create freely together. There’s no theme to follow and no final goal. You can paint quietly, talk, laugh, or experiment — letting the process unfold naturally. The session begins with a gentle introduction, then opens into unstructured making time so each pair can work at their own rhythm. You’ll leave with one completed artwork to take home. What’s included 🎨 Shared canvas (one per pair) 🖌 Paints, brushes & materials 🧻 Aprons + setup 🕰 Gentle opening + open making time 🖼 Finished artwork to keep Who it’s for Parents, caregivers, or adults attending with a child.No art experience needed.Suitable for children who can comfortably paint and participate alongside an adult. Price 💵 $55 per pair(All materials included)

Systemic family constellation was founded by Bert Hellinger (and I trained with him and many other practitioners). It uses energy and subtle movement and invites healing. Those with issues offer a question and participants are selected to move into the circle as 'representatives' of people or issues. Then an amazing unfolding occurs in which knowledge arrives quietly and 'unknots' the glitches of the past' - our ancestry and the difficulties we carry in our familial lines. Few words, just trust and patience... come and see. You could google this but experiencing it is quite a unique experience which provides information about past problems that affect your harmony today - generating a gentle unravelling which provides more optimistic futures. There is no charge but if you are able a donation to the room costs is very welcome

The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo.

Let’s meet and discuss whatever comes to mind about one of Tennesse Williams’ most famous plays.

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
