Have you ever wondered how you'd like to be remembered? This workshop offers a unique and transformative opportunity to reflect on your legacy by crafting your own obituary. Far from morbid, this session is an empowering exploration of life, values, and aspirations. Through guided exercises and thoughtful prompts, you’ll delve into your accomplishments, passions, and the mark you wish to leave on the world. By the end of the workshop, you'll walk away with a powerful piece of writing that not only captures who you are but also serves as a roadmap for the life you want to lead. Whether you’re looking for personal clarity, a creative challenge, or a fresh perspective on what truly matters, this workshop invites you to embrace the big picture with honesty, humor, and heart. No prior writing experience is necessary—just bring an open mind and a willingness to reflect.

Fermentation is one of the world's oldest food-preservation technologies. Humans have been fermenting foods and beverages for thousands of years; in some cultures, the consumption of alcohol was largely restricted to religious ceremonies. Many animal species have been known to become intoxicated from fermented fruit, including monkeys, squirrels, birds, and moose! Making dandelion wine is a terrific springtime tradition. Best if you have a bottle from last year leftover to pop open. Learn to make wine from foraged fruits and flowers! We will cover the whole process, start to finish, so students will be able to complete the process on their own; although we won’t actually produce (nor drink) any wine together.
