Umzinyathi Cultural Experiences: Dates, Itinerary & Tickets Price(November Updated)

Having explored the early history of the lake’s commu nities in our past series, we will now witness how they became who they are today. We’ll learn about the arrival of the later hotel and resort era , transportation improve ments , and the development of schools, churches, businesses, and civic organizations . This not-so-distant history will take us from these small, rural villages to the still small, thriving suburban lakeshore communities experienced today. And, we’ll enjoy a little nostalgia along the way! At the turn of the century, mammoth steamboats and tourism began to leave the lake and Excelsior township and village began to dissolve into five communities, with Excelsior taking its place as the downtown of the south shore. Served by the streetcar from the Twin Cities and home to the popular Excelsior Amusement Park for almost fifty years, tiny Excelsior’s history is still evident today. Free registration is requested. Capacity is limited and seating is first come, first served. Doors open at 6:30 pm. A $5.00 suggested contribution is appreciated. [Images: Water Street, looking northwest, Excelsior, MN, 1948.] The Lake Minnetonka Historical Society tells the story of Lake Minnetonka by collecting, preserving and sharing its history.

Bring nature and the green of the summery outdoors into your space by building a stunning display that requires NO maintenance or upkeep! In this class, you will make a gorgeous art piece featuring naturally preserved moss in a variety of vibrant colors. Your wall art will measure 8-12 inches depending on the wood box frame you choose. It will be your very own moss-terpiece! To start, you will choose and stain a wood box frame--with a variety of frame shapes and stain colors to choose from. Then you'll design your own unique landscape using a wide variety of mosses, wood, stones, and more! Once you have your design laid out, you will secure your design to the box. You can easily get lost in the intricate details and have fun adding more layers of soft textures and vibrant colors. Preserved moss lasts for years without any maintenance! The cost includes all materials to make your wall art. Reserve your spot through the Eventbrite link. Feel free to bring beverages or snacks to enjoy during our class time.

What if forgiveness wasn't something you owed someone else - but something you gave yourself? What if letting go wasn’t about forgetting - but about freeing your spirit from carrying what no longer serves you? Join Fitz-Gerald Cushnie, Spiritual and Self Discovery Guide and founder of Sacred Self Sanctuary (nonprofit) and Self Place , for an intentional, meditative experience in stillness, awareness, and release. This is not a workshop. It is not a lecture. There is no emotional storytelling. No pressure to share. No fixing. No forcing. Instead, this gathering is a sacred space to gently return to yourself - to notice, to soften, and, when your spirit is ready, to release the emotional and energetic weight of past experiences. What to Expect: A quiet, contemplative atmosphere with guided instruction from Fitz-Gerald Introduction to our " Two-Fold Forgiveness Practice " Periods of guided silence and personal reflection Journaling prompts (provided in a printed handout with donation to Sacred Self Sanctuary - a nonprofit) No requirement to speak or share - your inner process is your own Space to connect only if and when you choose Who is this event for: Individuals who feel emotionally or spiritually stuck in the energy of past events Those who intellectually “forgive” but still feel the emotional weight Anyone desiring to create space within for peace, freedom, and personal growth People who are ready to stop carrying the past , even if they don’t know how yet What you may leave with: A feeling of lightness and release A deeper sense of personal power and peace A quiet but lasting internal shift A new understanding of forgiveness - not as surrender to another, but return to self Event Information: Date & Time : July 05, 2025 | 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM Location : SELF PLACE | 9010 W Commercial Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33351 Tickets : Tiered model to ensure accessibility for those with limited financial resources.
