Save the dates for May – June 2026 creativity & connection
CrafTea Fridays are back at Moonbush Farm on the second and fourth Fridays in May and June! BYO craft, partake in the supplies on offer (always including collage cards, colored pencils, and nature mandala materials), join me in my planned projects as listed below, or just come sip some herbal tea and enjoy the garden and creative company. Drop in anytime between 4 and 7pm. Haven’t been here before? Reach out to jocelyn@vibrantmission.com for the address and with any questions.
Also coming up:
- Saturday, May 30th: Strong Bones, Soft Heart: Cascadia Folk Choir 3rd Annual Community Sing Concert: 6pm doors, 7-9:30 heart-centered community singing experience where you learn the songs and sing along!
- Sunday, June 7th: Song Circle with Sophia & I, tentatively planned for 6-8pm at a park in NE. Details forthcoming. It’s the one-year anniversary of the first song circle we facilitated together!
- Monday, June 22nd: Song Circle Cycle! I am planning a roaming song circle on bikes for the first time as part of Pedalpalooza. It will almost certainly feature at least one parking garage stop for some fun acoustics. Meet at Holladay Park at 6pm, ride out by 7pm.
- Monday, June 29th: 3rd annual Poetry Post Pedal, featuring the poetry posts of Piedmont, Arbor Lodge, Overlook, and perhaps a few other neighborhoods in the vicinity of Peninsula Park. I only know two so far, both friend recommendations from my April 2023 project, and am seeking more, if you are familiar with any in the area. Meet at 6pm in the SW corner of the park near the rose garden for a picnic before we ride out by 7pm.
CrafTea Friday (very optional) Themes:
Friday, May 8th: Personal Bingo Cards. Whether for supporting self-care practices, checking off bigger projects and goals, surprising yourself with fun/challenging activities, or any combination, these are a visual and rewarding way to make progress. I’ll be working on my late spring – early summer edition, which will be greatly simplified from my first one!
Friday, May 22nd: Drawing for Nervous System Regulation. As simple as color and line, and a nice satisfying paper grain. No goals or outcomes or sharing necessary, although I can offer some prompts.
Friday, June 12th: New Moon Pages. Two days before the new moon, we can listen quietly and softly for any intentions calling to us for the weeks ahead. I like to circle in a dark moon and write out a mantra or two.
Friday, June 26th: Full Moon Pages. Similarly, this one will take place a few days before the full moon, an opportunity to celebrate what is coming to fruition. Including, as a bonus, what will likely be another bounteous crop of blueberries and raspberries here at Moonbush Farm.
Stay tuned for the accompanying tea menu!
