Imagine crafting your own soothing spa products, designing a unique piece of jewelry, or painting a mandala rock to bring mindfulness into your space. At Healthy Crafting, you can do all this and more. Held on the second and fourth Sunday of every month from 3 to 5 pm in The Lodge Arts & Crafts Room, this hands- on workshop is perfect for anyone looking to explore their creativity while making sustainable, healthy products. Crafting isn't just about making something beautiful — it is a form of self care. When you create with your hands, you engage your mind, relieve stress, and boost your overall well-being. That's why Healthy Crafting focuses on projects that nourish both body and soul. You will learn how to make luxurious soaps, natural candles, and custom perfumes that you can use or gift to someone special. But this workshop is not limited to spa products. If you love artistic expression, try your hand at designing jewelry, painting intricate mandala rocks, or assembling charming birdhouses to brighten your outdoor space. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a total beginner, this class is designed for all skill levels — no experience needed. Instruction and all supplies are included, so you only need to bring your enthusiasm and a friend or two. One of the best parts of Healthy Crafting is the sense of community it fosters. You will meet like-minded individuals who share an appreciation for handmade, eco-friendly creations. There's something truly special about learning a new skill together, sharing ideas, and leaving with a finished piece that reflects your personality. So why not take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Come unwind, get creative, and make something you'll love.
