The Floros Project

Galactic Oasis
Inside the Templar Industrial Park (South end)
13300 Bramley Avenue, Suite 2580, Lakewood
Friday, September 18, 2026, 6:30 – 8:30pm

Event type: Community Events
Event Summary: Plants and humans have lived and evolved alongside each other for millennia, developing a deeply intertwined and dependent relationship built upon intuition and trust. Over the years, that trust has been broken, our understanding lost and forgotten. The Floros Project developed out of a desire to reconnect with plants beyond a surface level understanding, creating an opportunity to cultivate a relationship which allows for each plant to speak in their own way, with no projections or influences. Supported with guided visualizations, rhythmic drumming and singing bowls, participants of the Floros Project will engage in the centuries-old practice of communicating with plant spirits and devas, sharing in and validating our individual experiences, building trust in ourselves, our intuition and the plants themselves. Each month we will enter into relationship with one individual plant through tea and tincture or essence whose identity will remain unknown until the end of the experience. Participants will have the opportunity to continue the project at home with additional dried tea and handouts. Floros = Flora + Cosmos; Reweaving the cosmic fabric and our relationship with the green world. $25/person. Third Friday of each month.6:30-8:30pm

Over the years, that trust has been broken, our understanding lost and forgotten.The Floros Project developed out of a desire to reconnect with plants beyond a surface level understanding, creating an opportunity to cultivate a relationship which allows for each plant to speak in their own way, with no projections or influences. Supported with guided visualizations, rhythmic drumming and singing bowls, participants of the Floros Project will engage in the centuries-old practice of communicating with plant spirits and devas, sharing in and validating our individual experiences, building trust in ourselves, our intuition and the plants themselves.Each month we will enter into relationship with one individual plant through tea and tincture or essence whose identity will remain unknown until the end of the experience. Participants will have the opportunity to continue the project at home with additional dried tea to continue attending to your budding relationship. Floros = Flora + Cosmos; Reweaving the cosmic fabric and our relationship with the green world.

Event type: Community Events
Event Summary: Purpose in Practice - Where purpose meets practical support. Are you building a business, leading a nonprofit, changing careers, or simply exploring what comes next? Purpose in Practice is a monthly roundtable where people can have honest conversations about our goals, challenges, ideas, and next steps. You do not need to have everything figured out. Bring to the conversation on, what is going well, what feels stuck, and the questions you have not been able to answer. This is a welcoming space to share experiences, gain practical guidance, make meaningful connections, and find resources that can help you move forward. We do not have a perfect formula or a script that guarantees an easy path. We do have years of real experience, lessons learned, and a genuine desire to support people who are working toward something meaningful. Purpose in Practice grew from conversations between two long term friends and former nonprofit creators and partners. Together, they ran the Miloh Foundation and have also worked alongside one another in the corporate world. Their combined experience includes entrepreneurship, nonprofit leadership, corporate management, communication, and helping people work through challenges. We want to hear what you are working on, what challenges you are facing, and what kind of information or support would be most helpful. Your input will help shape future conversations, topics, speakers, and resources. Join us on the 1st Friday of each month, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Galactic Oasis 13300 Bramley Avenue, Suite 2580 Lakewood, OH 44107. Come as you are.

Weather Class presented by Akron Sail and Power Squadron

All classes but last one online.
Location of last class TBD but likely in Cuyahoga Falls area
Tuesday, October 13, 2026, 7 – 9pm

Event type: Educational
Event Summary: The course covers the dramatic technological advances that have changed the ways weather forecasts are produced and disseminated. The course is unique because it not only deals with modern weather forecasting – what are the different types of forecasts, when to use them, and how to get and interpret them. It also deals with the fundamental atmospheric dynamics underlying the weather events being forecast. The course focuses on how weather systems form, behave, move, and interact with one another and reflects the availability of all sorts of weather reports and forecasts on the Internet. This class is a general weather course benefiting those sitting in their living rooms, as much as those standing behind the helm. Online course with one in-person class taught by Lt/C Chip Ingram, SN, on Tuesdays from 1900-2100 starting Sept. 22. Go to akronpowersquadron.com/education/upcomingclasses to sign up or call Chip at (330) 673-4021.

Supported with guided visualizations, rhythmic drumming and singing bowls, participants of the Floros Project will engage in the centuries-old practice of communicating with plant spirits and devas, sharing in and validating our individual experiences, building trust in ourselves, our intuition and the plants themselves. Each month we will enter into relationship with one individual plant through tea and tincture or essence whose identity will remain unknown until the end of the experience. Participants will have the opportunity to continue the project at home with additional dried tea and handouts. Floros = Flora + Cosmos; Reweaving the cosmic fabric and our relationship with the green world. $25/person. Third Friday of each month.6:30-8:30pm
