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.

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!
