Create a one-of-a-kind sea glass mirror while exploring self-love, positive affirmations, and the beauty of personal growth.
<h2>✨ Event Highlights:</h2>
🪞 Create Your Own Sea Glass Mirror: Design a beautiful beveled mirror using genuine sea glass, colorful flat-back pearls, and optional seashell accents to create a meaningful keepsake.
💙 A Mindful Self-Love Experience: Begin the evening with a thoughtful discussion on the power of positive self-talk and the practice of speaking affirmations into a mirror. Choose a personal mantra, intention, or encouraging reminder to write on the back of your mirror, creating a daily source of inspiration.
🌊 The Meaning Behind Sea Glass: Discover the symbolism of sea glass, a reminder that life's challenges can shape us into something even more beautiful. Just as broken glass is transformed by time and the ocean, we, too, can grow through life's experiences.
🏛️ Museum Admission Included: Your ticket includes admission to Imagine Museum, allowing you to explore one of the world's premier collections of contemporary glass art before or after the workshop.
<h2>📅 Event Details:</h2>
📅 Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2026
⏰ Time: 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM
📍 Location: Imagine Museum
👥 Capacity: Limited to 24 participants for an intimate, hands-on experience.
🎟️ Tickets: $35 per person
<h2>💙 The Experience:</h2>
More than a craft workshop, this is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and create something that speaks to your journey.
You'll begin with a brief conversation about the science behind positive self-talk and how intentional affirmations can influence confidence and well-being. Before decorating your mirror, you'll choose a word, mantra, or personal affirmation to write on the back, creating a hidden reminder that reflects your intentions every time you see yourself.
Using a beveled mirror as your canvas, you'll design a unique sea glass frame with your choice of sea glass, colorful pearls, and optional seashell embellishments. You may also choose to add a hanging attachment or keep your mirror as a tabletop piece.
Whether you're creating for yourself or as a meaningful gift, you'll leave with a handmade piece that celebrates resilience, growth, and self-compassion.
✨ Seats are limited to just 24 participants, and workshops at Imagine Museum often sell out. Reserve your spot today and create a beautiful reminder that every journey, like sea glass, can become something extraordinary.

Burlington House

We are alive, therefore we will die. This is the simplest and most obvious truth of our existence, yet very few of us have really come to terms with this fact. By understanding and embracing this reality, we can transform our relationship with life and death, gaining the confidence to live fully and meaningfully.
In this series, we will explore how to prepare for death—not with fear or denial, but with clarity, acceptance, and compassion. Through this journey, we’ll also learn to support others in their final moments, cultivating an attitude that sees death as a natural part of life’s cycle.
