Skill Share, 1 – 2 pm in Gheen’s Court
A casual, classroom-style experience centered on learning and exchange. Skill Share sessions feature community members leading approachable sessions on various topics, tools, or ideas. Come ready to observe, ask questions, and learn something new. No prior experience is needed; just curiosity and a willingness to learn. 

Maker Circle, 2 – 3:30 pm in Gheen’s Court
A welcoming, drop-in space for hands-on making and meaningful connection. In the Making invites participants to bring their own projects or join a guided activity, with each session shifting between open crafting and lightly facilitated creative prompts. Whether you’re here to focus, experiment, or be in community, this is a place to slow down, share ideas, and create alongside others. Grab a drink or snack from Marigold and join us in Gheen’s court for In the Making.
