Creating Sacred Spaces

Presented by Treehaus Studio at Treehaus Studio Osceola, WI

In this workshop, you will design and hand-build your own altar, which will serve as the focal point of your sacred space. Before you begin crafting your altar, choose a quiet, clean area in your home or studio where it can remain undisturbed, such as a corner or a small table. Bring measurements of your space so we can design our altars to fit seamlessly into your designated area. It's essential to clearly define the purpose of your healing altar. Consider whether it is intended for physical, emotional, or spiritual healing for yourself or a loved one. You may choose to focus on the overall concept of healing or dedicate the altar to a specific ailment or situation. Once you've set your intentions, consider adding additional symbolic objects, such as candles, tea, stones, soil, feathers, bells, or offerings like flowers or clean water. The "Creating Sacred Spaces" workshop consists of two in-studio sessions at Treehaus Studio. The first session is for designing and hand-building your altar, while the second session will focus on glazing or painting. The studio will also be open for anyone who needs extra time to complete their altar.

Unforgotten Washington County Stories from the Korean War

Presented by Washington County Parks at Washington County Historic Courthouse Stillwater, MN

The Korean War (1950–1953) is often called the “Forgotten War,” overshadowed by World War II that ended just five years earlier. But in Washington County, it is anything but forgotten. Eleven local men were killed in action during the war, and their stories continue to live on in the memories of families, friends, and the community they left behind. Their service, sacrifice, and experiences form a powerful chapter in our shared history. Visit the Washington County Historic Courthouse to explore an exhibit that brings these stories to life.
