SUMMARY:Community Yoga with Flood Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Start your Sunday morning with intention. \nThis Slow Flow class is a gently-paced vinyasa practice that invites you to move\, breathe\, and settle into your body — no experience necessary\, all levels welcome. \nSlow Flow sits in the sweet spot between active and easeful\, blending softness with strength. Expect a continuous\, fluid sequence of standing and seated poses\, linked with breath and held just long enough to find your foundation and fully arrive in each shape. This is a mindful\, accessible flow designed to move with intention rather than speed. We’ll close every session with a generous savasana so you leave feeling grounded and renewed. \nWhether you’ve never stepped on a mat or you’ve been practicing for years\, this class is designed to meet you exactly where you are. \nJoin Kate Holter\, founder and owner of Flood Yoga\, for three Sunday mornings this summer. We will be using the beautiful Osberg Great Hall and the Fisherman’s Sun Terrace for an indoor/outdoor yoga experience.

SUMMARY:Author Signing: Shayla Kieneker and Jessica Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday July 12th\, from noon – 3 pm for a book signing by authors Shayla Kieneker & Jessica Miller. \nShayla Kieneker & Jessica Miller books blend dark romance\, emotional grit\, power dynamics\, and pulse-racing tension that lingers long after the last page. Set against the moody backdrop of Seattle\, their world is one where nothing is black and white—just tangled sheets\, twisted truths\, and characters clawing their way through trauma\, temptation\, and truth. \nKinked is a lightly dark\, smutty romance that follows Irie as she attempts to juggle her double identity as a busy Seattle Assistant and Deviant Dominatrix.

SUMMARY:Book Launch Party: Psionic Heart
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the launch of Psionic Heart by Debut author\, Ash Leo Reed \nAbout Psionic Heart: \nDietra\, a plus-sized Black woman with a gift she’s kept hidden\, has been spiraling ever since her twin sister vanished without a trace. When she’s abducted herself\, she’s thrown into a brutal psychic asset training program deep inside a secret mountain facility-alongside other people of color stolen from their lives for the same purpose. Inside\, she meets Key\, a brooding asset with secrets of his own. \nThe connection between them is instant\, dangerous\, and forbidden. As Dietra’s telekinesis grows stronger\, so does their bond—until resisting each other becomes as impossible as resisting the system that controls them. On the outside\, Yemi\, the man she left behind\, is piecing together the truth… and realizing too late that he still loves her. But time is running out. Inside the facility\, alliances are shifting\, Dietra becomes closer to Key\, and her growing powers may be the key to a conspiracy that could destroy them all. \nPsionic Heart is a sci-fi romantic suspense\, perfect for fans of Silver Elite by Dani Frances and Daggermouth by H.M. Wolfe. It’s filled with telekinetic battles\, found-family bonds\, forced proximity\, and a forbidden love that defies captivity.

SUMMARY:Left Brain\, Right Brain with Illumination Learning Studio (ages 5 -11)
DESCRIPTION:Sure! Learning about science is fun\, but so is painting\, dancing\, and making music. In this camp\, we’ll be combining an interest in science with a love of the arts. The campers will spend the morning exploring and experimenting with a specific science concept (ex. states of matter). Each afternoon\, we’ll take that knowledge and apply it in an artistic way\, deepening our exploration of each concept in a way that draws upon personal interpretation (ex. moving our bodies through space\, embodying the difference in quality and proximity with states of matter). We’ll take our scientific journey even further with science based field trip. Join us for a week of stepping into the show of an artsy scientist\, sure to be filled with tons of experimentation and creativity! Campers will enjoy a special Science Show with Soulful Kids! \nCamp runs July 20 – July 24.

SUMMARY:Art Class: Botanical Monoprinting on the Gelli Plate
DESCRIPTION:Discover the intuitive and joyful art of botanical monoprinting in this hands-on workshop. Using a flexible gelli plate\, you will learn how to capture the delicate textures and intricate details of leaves\, ferns\, and grasses. This process allows you to create unique art prints without the need for a traditional printing press. Using a brayer to apply smooth\, even layers of acrylic paint to the gelli plate\, we’ll press our botanical items into the plate\, transferring textures and patterns onto the paper. Play with color theory\, translucency\, and layers. \nLeaves and materials will be provided\, but please feel free to bring your own botanical textures. Items will likely be destroyed in the process of printing\, and need to be able to lie flat between two pieces of paper. Other items\, like pine cones\, will create a very neat texture that looks nothing like a pinecone – but very fun all the same!
