Imbolc Full Moon Party at Blessed Be Tea

Presented by the Conscious Community Coven

Join us for a cozy, open-house Imbolc Full Moon Party at Blessed Be Tea—a gentle gathering rooted in hope, renewal, and community connection. Imbolc marks the halfway point between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox, a sacred threshold where the quiet of winter begins to soften and the first stirrings of spring are felt. It is a time to honor the light returning, both in the world and within ourselves.

This open-house–style celebration invites you to come and go as you please. Settle in with community, enjoy warm conversation, and take part in a short, accessible mini ritual focused on intention setting, clarity, and nurturing what is beginning to grow. Together, we’ll reflect on what we are ready to awaken, tend, and carry forward as the seasons shift.

Whether you stay for a moment or the full evening, this gathering is an offering of space—to pause, to hope, and to connect. All are welcome. Come as you are, and be part of the turning of the wheel.

Free, peer-led mental health support groups: NAMI Family Support and NAMI Connection Group.

EXPAND Storytelling #10 will take place at The Alluvion community performance venue at 6:30PM on February 4, 2026. Storytellers invited from the NoMi community will take the stage to share their life stories around how they find fulfillment from the inside out wherever they are. How they came to find the little things that make them come alive and how they continue to expand their being from right here, right NOW. Mindful, aware, present, grateful. Never arriving, always expanding.

STORYTELLERS:
Ella Skrocki, Sleeping Bear Surf
Dana Falconberry, Artist, Musician and Chef
Ryan Hannon, Central United Methodist

Created and hosted by Chelsea Bay Dennis of C.Bay Design

Three of Traverse City’s literary nonprofits have joined forces to bring TJ Klune to the City Opera House stage to talk about his #1 New York Times and #1 USA Today breakout, contemporary fantasy, The House in the Cerulean Sea.

T.J. Klune has a new book coming out on April 28, 2026, called We Burned So Bright. The story follows an older queer couple on a poignant end‑of‑the‑world road trip as they seek to finish unfinished business before a black hole destroys the planet. Born in Roseburg, Oregon, Travis John Klune was eight years old when he first began to write. His earliest published works included poetry and short stories.

He has now emerged as one of the country’s most popular fantasy authors. The House in the Cerulean Sea topped the country’s major bestseller lists and won the Lambda Literary Award. Klune’s novels also include Under the Whispering Door, In the Lives of Puppets, the Green Creek Series for adults, the Extraordinaries Series for teens, and more. As a queer author himself, Klune believes it’s important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.

Out of the Box is a group exhibit and invitational featuring 30 Artists based locally and throughout the United States.

Each Artist has transformed a discarded cigar box into a work of Art. Paintings, Sculpture, Mosaic and even a Ukelele are some of the treasures which have been made from a cigar box. Some are recognizable, and some have been taken apart and salvaged into something entirely different.

The show runs daily during open hours in-person from February 7th thru March 14th.
