Three Wednesday evenings of hands-on art, conversation, and community, grounded in Miami’s land, water, and plants.

Grounded: Sustainable Art Workshops

Three Wednesday evenings of art, conversation, and community, grounded in Miami’s land, water, and roots. Wednesdays, October 14, 21 and 28 — 6:30 -8:30 PM.

Everything you need is provided. We use sustainable materials and found objects, and you’re warmly invited to bring something personal to make your piece your own.

Series arc: CONFRONT — OBSERVE — PROTECT

October 14 — LAND: From Waste to Regrowth.We’ll explore Miami’s waste story, from landfills and plastics to how we can become more circular, drawing on solutions from the past. Using reclaimed materials, you’ll create a landscape that holds both the damage and the regrowth. The past is something we can be better than. Creative prompt:What happens to a landscape after we change it?
October 21 — WATER: What Water Remembers. We’ll begin with a short waterfront walk and a look at the Bay’s ecology and the ongoing Water Study in the Everglades. Together we’ll consider water, wildlife, boating, noise, and pollution, and the moments when reduced human activity helped us notice our urban ecosystems differently. Natural Earth Paint materials may be introduced if available. Creative Prompt: If water could speak, what would it say to us?
October 28 — ROOTS: What Was Here Before Us? We’ll focus on native South Florida plants and wildlife, Indigenous presence and sovereignty, stewardship, gratitude and responsibility to place.Creative prompt:Create a portrait of something you believe deserves to remain here.
Visit the exhibition: These workshops take place while Atelierlustig’s exhibition and artist residency are on view at the gallery. Their show connects closely with our sustainability themes where they explore de-centering the human and the post-anthropocentric theory. So come early to explore before we begin!

Format: 90–120 minutes, 6:30–8:30 PM. Each session includes 10 minutes of environmental story or local context, 10–15 minutes for the creative prompt and examples, 60–75 minutes of making, and 15 minutes for informal sharing and discussion.

Parking: Park at Chopin Plaza (100 Chopin Plaza, Miami).

Kabbalah And The Tree Of Life – The Ancient Blueprint for Manifesting Your Wishes 10/14/26

Kabbalah And The Tree Of Life – The Ancient Blueprint for Manifesting Your Wishes

Website
Cost: 72

​A 2.5-hour experiential introduction to Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, and the manifestation practices from Gahl E. Sasson’s internationally acclaimed book, A Wish Can Change Your Life. The Workshop includes a free authentic Red String from the Cave of Elijah, Mount Carmel, Israel.

​What if your wishes are not simply fantasies, but invitations to participate consciously in your own creation?

​For thousands of years, Kabbalists have contemplated the Tree of Life, a mystical map of ten interconnected forces through which divine energy moves from the infinite into the physical world. In this immersive workshop, astrologer, author, and teacher Gahl E. Sasson makes this ancient system practical, accessible, and immediately relevant to modern life.

​You will discover how the ten sefirot can be understood as ten stages in the journey from an idea or desire into embodied reality. Rather than simply learning about the Tree, you will use it as a practical map for examining what you truly want, what may be blocking you, and what needs to change for your intention to become actionable.

​Gahl Sasson is an astrologer and author who makes Kabbalah, astrology, and psychology engaging, illuminating, and fun — accessible to anyone, from any background. His books include A Wish Can Change Your Life (Simon & Schuster) and Cosmic Navigator. Named “LA’s Best Astrologer” by W Magazine, he teaches at Esalen, the Omega Institute, and the Open Center in New York, and has lectured across the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Galleria Fort Lauderdale presents The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of Henderson Behavioral Health (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. This public art initiative is designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. Shoppers can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.).

Designed by South Florida based Ingham Landscaping and presented by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the two-month living garden will be a colorful and lively setting featuring the five-and 6-foot striking handcrafted fiberglass poppy flowers which are a remembrance of those who protect and serve our country. The inside mall garden will include a variety of tropical ornamental plants and shrubs that will complement the artistic poppy works of art.

Adding to the installation, will be “Soldier Stories,” an exclusive exhibition by award-winning artist Marilyn Johansen honoring veterans and the military. Visitors will also be encouraged to select free postcards and add a personal message to current servicemen and women. This special moment is arranged by the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. Special retail offers will coincide with this community project.

Inspired by the poppy’s historical significance as a symbol of sacrifice, rooted in the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” and later adopted as a national emblem of remembrance, HBH’s The Poppy Project brings this tradition to life in a local and meaningful way.

The effort is sponsored by key community partners and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale.
