Divine Light Healing Night Experience a Divine Light healing, performed in a supportive group setting, as you are guided through a highly effective technique to receive spiritual energy to heal and transform your life. Whether you are seeking physical, mental or emotional transformation, Divine Light healing is a full-spectrum aura therapy. The aura is key to healing, because it is the place where you generate the spiritual energy to manifest health. Drawing on a 4,000 year mystical tradition, these techniques were developed by Barbara Y. Martin and Dimitri Moraitis and built on the clairvoyant experiences of Barbara over five decades. They are taught in their award-winning book "The Healing Power of Your Aura" which has been endorsed by medical luminaries C. Norman Shealy and Dr. Richard Gerber. Each month, we will offer insights into the spiritual healing principles with the aura and Divine Light. Participants will be organized into small groups and receive a direct Divine Light healing from our trained spiritual healers. Plus there is a special healing offered on the nervous system to release stresses and tensions. Spiritual Arts Institute on Facebook / Instagram

Learn to needle felt! Oh, butterflies! Fluttering bursts of happy colors! In this class, we will be making a butterfly out of wool, using needle felting techniques. Needle felting is a process where wool fibers are pressed together using long, special needles of different sizes, turning wool into felt. Because of the sharpness of the needles, this class is for students 12+ years old, and guards will be provided. During these three hours we will cut out butterflies from wool felt , “paint” the wings with wool, and shape the body dimensionally. Your butterfly can be turned into a brooch or hung on the walls. No experience necessary. Ages 12+ welcome. Materials fee of $5 (cash only) to be paid to the instructor at the start of the class. This workshop is part of Craft Collective’s 2nd annual Fiber Fest! Join in the main day of festivities on Saturday, June 14th, for a day filled with fiber fun! It’ll be a vibrant celebration of natural textiles and sustainability, bringing together fiber artists, artisans, sustainability advocates, and local farmers. On June 14th, we’ll host a live demonstration of sheep shearing, more live artist-artisan demonstrations, interactive craft for families, artist vendors, food and more. This event is designed to build community within the Southern California Fibershed, showcasing the journey of natural textiles from sheep to finished fabric.

Resonance is a free, all-ages event hosted by St. Brigid’s Episcopal Church and Oceanside Theatre Company, that builds community through creative expression. Held in OTC's Studio 219 (219 North Coast Highway), this is a space for all creatively-inclined people — artists, musicians, writers, and more — to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together. It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night — but it has elements of all of these. All are welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too. Oceanside Theatre Company on Facebook / Instagram
