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. \nPlease bring:\nA yoga mat\nWater bottle\nBlanket/towel or other personal props for extra support (if desired) \nPay What You Want\nThis class is offered as pay-what-you-want\, making it accessible to all with proceeds supporting the Museum’s programs and exhibitions. The suggested price range for one class is $5-15.

SUMMARY:Movie Screening: The Big Payback
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in American history\, a tax-funded reparations bill for Black residents is passed in Evanston\, Illinois. Funded through a cannabis tax\, the program aims to address generations of systemic housing discrimination — but the film makes clear that reparations are far from a simple or universally agreed-upon issue. \nThe documentary follows rookie alderman Robin Rue Simmons as she navigates fierce debate from supporters and critics alike\, including disagreement within the Black community itself over what “true” reparations should look like. Meanwhile in Washington\, D.C.\, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee continues the decades-long push for HR 40\, a national bill to study reparations for slavery in America.\nRather than presenting easy answers\, the film explores the legal\, political\, moral\, and personal complexities surrounding reparations as communities across the country wrestle with how — or whether — historical wrongs can be addressed today. \nA post-discussion to follow the film. \nWhile the event is free\, a suggested $5 donation to support the screening is appreciated.\nMeaningful Movies Project Hosts: Sustainable Ballard and the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard.

SUMMARY:Drypoint Intaglio Printmaking Using Tetra Pak
DESCRIPTION:Even beginners can learn to create “etching-like” prints quickly and easily using tools and materials you already have at home! Explore drypoint intaglio printmaking using recycled Tetra Pak cartons as an affordable and eco-friendly plate material. We’ll practice cross-hatching and incising textures using drypoint tools\, corkscrews\, dental tools\, and exacto knives. Instead of etching ink\, we’ll use water soluble “Stabilo Woody” colored pencils. After “inking\,” prepare your plate using Q-tips to increase contrast\, and pull prints using rolling pins or hand-burnishing. Emphasis on sustainable practice\, mark-making\, and experimental approaches to tone\, pattern\, and layering. \nAll supplies are provided\, and step-by-step guidance will ensure everyone leaves with three finished plates in this two hour class. We’ll have enough 300gsm 100% cotton paper for each student to make two prints from each plate in class\, and you’ll leave knowing how to make more prints at home. Images for tracing will be provided\, but feel free to bring your own! Plates will be 2×3 inches and 4×5 inches. Print your images in reverse\, especially words\, as our prints will be the reverse from what we scratch into the plate.

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: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!
