Discover the joy of acrylic painting in this welcoming series of two separate 2-night studio workshops. Each workshop may be taken on its own or together, allowing you to choose the subject that inspires you most—or enjoy both for a fuller creative experience.

In each session, you’ll be guided step-by-step through a complete painting while building confidence with foundational techniques such as composition, color theory, and color mixing.

One workshop will focus on painting peaceful landscapes, exploring how to capture light, depth, and atmosphere in scenic views. The second workshop will focus on pet portraiture (or another favorite animal), with an emphasis on bringing out personality, expression, and texture.

Whether you’re painting a meaningful place or a beloved companion, these relaxed studio-style evenings offer a supportive space to learn, create, and enjoy the process of making art. Each student will leave with a finished piece and a deeper understanding of acrylic painting techniques.

A male spirit who wound up befriending medium Rob Gutro over the course of 18+ years, provided Rob with many disconnected signs that solved the mystery of the man’s death. The spirit helped prove he was also with each member of his family before Rob visited them for the first time ever. This lecture will also show you how to recognize signs and explain how mediumship works. From the author's book “Kindred Spirits: How A Spirit Befriended a Medium”.

This class will introduce you to foundational techniques like breath awareness and body scans to cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress, and improve focus in a supportive setting, covering basic postures, different styles (mindfulness, loving-kindness), and practical tips for integrating stillness and present-moment awareness into daily life to achieve inner calm and well-being.

You will receive guided instruction and practice core methods, focusing primarily on breath awareness (noticing inhales/exhales) and mindfulness: understand how to gently redirect wandering thoughts back to the present moment without judgment, using the breath as an anchor.

Ideal for anyone curious about meditation or who has tried and found it difficult, anyone looking to manage anxiety and stress, or anyone seeking to enhance mental clarity and attention. You will leave with practical, simple tools to start a personal practice, realizing that meditation is a skill that develops with consistent, non-judgmental effort, not about achieving perfect stillness.

”The wound is the place where the Light enters you” -Rumi

The archetype of Pluto may represent both your greatest gift and your deepest wound. According to astrology, its placement in your birth chart speaks to an empowerment journey through which you may be learning and evolving. In this workshop you will gain insight on how to interpret Pluto in a birth chart.

There are no prerequisites for the class. Participants are encouraged to email their birth information (date, place, time) to the instructor, Rob at rob@innercenterastrology.com, prior to the start of the class. He will provide a copy of your birth chart in class. It would be optimal to have your exact birth time available (documented on your birth certificate) but is not necessary.
