The Forbidden Feminine

Galactic Oasis

13300 Bramley Avenue, Suite 2580, Lakewood
Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 6:30 – 8pm

Event type: Community Events
Event Summary: A monthly, body-centered experience exploring archetypes, taboos, and the expectations placed upon the female body. Who are we at our core—beneath conditioning, performance, and inherited narratives? Across cultures and time, certain expressions of the feminine have been labeled too much, too wild, too emotional, too sensual, too knowing. These messages do not only live in history or society—they live in the body. What are we carrying that is historical, ancestral, and what within us is quietly ready to blossom into the collective consciousness? This space is an invitation to turn toward the layers that have been silenced, shaped, or constrained—both culturally and internally.$15.00 per person 2nd Wednesday of each month 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

The Floros Project

Galactic Oasis
Inside the Templar Industrial Park (South end)
13300 Bramley Avenue, Suite 2580, Lakewood
Friday, May 15, 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

Event Summary: A monthly circle for anyone beginning or looking to deepen their understanding of and work within the plant kingdom. We sit in circle, we pull cards, we meditate and we commune with the spirt of one plant each month. We keep the plant a secret until the end, enabling participants to full embrace the plant's messages and wisdom without projections. We open the circle with a body scan meditation and then settle into ourselves with some light drumming. Tea is poured and we settle in to the magic. Take notes, feel your body, make art, ask questions - see where the plant spirit takes you. When our meditation/exploration is done, we sit in circle and share our experiences. Even if the plant revealed is one you've worked with for years, we promise you'll learn something new. Each participant will go home with some of the plant as well as their pulled card to continue their plant spirit medicine journey. Bring a journal and/or art supplies and an open mind.

Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 7 – 8:15pm

Event Summary: Pat Rydquist was an Interpretive Naturalist with Summit Metro Parks for 20 years. Her favorite mentor was Bert Szabo who she got to know through SMP. Bert connected people to the parks for over 30 years as a naturalist and as an engaged volunteer. Bert ended his career in 1991 and we honor his legacy. Now retired, Pat’s new passion is arachnids. She will share the life and value of spiders in the hopes others will appreciate their beauty and worth. Sponsored by Greater Akron Audubon Society, this event will take place Wednesday, May 20, at 7 p.m. at Firestone Metro Park, Coventry Oaks. Program is free and open to the public. Visit online at akronaudubon.org or email info@akronaudubon.org., , Bert Szabo was appointed the first chief naturalist at the Akron Metropolitan Park District, precursor to Summit Metro Parks, in 1963. He helped get the first Fall Hiking Spree started in 1964 and connected people to the parks for over 30 years as a naturalist and as an engaged volunteer. He was instrumental in getting the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (designated as a National Park in 2000) established in 1974., Pat Rydquist was an Interpretive Naturalist with Summit Metro Parks for 20 years. While there she shared her passion for birding, butterflies, moths, and encouraging preschoolers to love all things in nature. Her favorite mentor was Bert Szabo who she got to know through SMP. On her walks with Bert he talked about the trees he planted at Goodyear Heights Metro Park, the amazing birding at Firestone Metro Park, and the cultural significance of Deep Lock Quarry. She was also president of the Hudson Land Conservancy and helped merge it into the Western Reserve Land Conservancy. Now retired, Pat’s new passion is arachnids, maybe because they don’t fly away or maybe because they are so intricately vital in our ecosystem!

Cry Havoc by Allan R Kenward

Western Reserve Playhouse
Friday, May 22, 2026, 8 – 10:30pm

Event type: Theatre & Stage
Event Summary: Allan R Kenward wrote Cry Havoc in 1941, while the war was still being fought, and before anyone knew how it would end, and that uncertainty is hugely important to the urgency of the piece. Hailed as a female Journey's End, Cry Havoc puts the same pressure on its characters: confined space, no exit, and the slow erosion of everything that kept them separate from one another. What emerges is less a war play, and more a portrait of strangers becoming a community; bound to one another as ordinary people facing something they weren't trained for and didn't choose. The story follows two Army nurses and eleven civilian volunteers, living and working in a makeshift underground dugout as Japanese forces close in. Presented May 22-31 at Western Reserve Playhouse, in Richfield. Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets and more info at thewrp.org.

Cry Havoc by Allan R Kenward

Western Reserve Playhouse
Saturday, May 23, 2026, 8 – 10:30pm

Event type: Theatre & Stage
Event Summary: Allan R Kenward wrote Cry Havoc in 1941, while the war was still being fought, and before anyone knew how it would end, and that uncertainty is hugely important to the urgency of the piece. Hailed as a female Journey's End, Cry Havoc puts the same pressure on its characters: confined space, no exit, and the slow erosion of everything that kept them separate from one another. What emerges is less a war play, and more a portrait of strangers becoming a community; bound to one another as ordinary people facing something they weren't trained for and didn't choose. The story follows two Army nurses and eleven civilian volunteers, living and working in a makeshift underground dugout as Japanese forces close in. Presented May 22-31 at Western Reserve Playhouse, in Richfield. Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets and more info at thewrp.org.

Cry Havoc by Allan R Kenward

Western Reserve Playhouse
Thursday, May 28, 2026, 8 – 10:30pm

Event type: Theatre & Stage
Event Summary: Allan R Kenward wrote Cry Havoc in 1941, while the war was still being fought, and before anyone knew how it would end, and that uncertainty is hugely important to the urgency of the piece. Hailed as a female Journey's End, Cry Havoc puts the same pressure on its characters: confined space, no exit, and the slow erosion of everything that kept them separate from one another. What emerges is less a war play, and more a portrait of strangers becoming a community; bound to one another as ordinary people facing something they weren't trained for and didn't choose. The story follows two Army nurses and eleven civilian volunteers, living and working in a makeshift underground dugout as Japanese forces close in. Presented May 22-31 at Western Reserve Playhouse, in Richfield. Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets and more info at thewrp.org.

Cry Havoc by Allan R Kenward

Western Reserve Playhouse
Saturday, May 30, 2026, 8 – 10:30pm

Event type: Theatre & Stage
Event Summary: Allan R Kenward wrote Cry Havoc in 1941, while the war was still being fought, and before anyone knew how it would end, and that uncertainty is hugely important to the urgency of the piece. Hailed as a female Journey's End, Cry Havoc puts the same pressure on its characters: confined space, no exit, and the slow erosion of everything that kept them separate from one another. What emerges is less a war play, and more a portrait of strangers becoming a community; bound to one another as ordinary people facing something they weren't trained for and didn't choose. The story follows two Army nurses and eleven civilian volunteers, living and working in a makeshift underground dugout as Japanese forces close in. Presented May 22-31 at Western Reserve Playhouse, in Richfield. Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets and more info at thewrp.org.

Cry Havoc by Allan R Kenward

Western Reserve Playhouse
Sunday, May 31, 2026, 2 – 4:30pm

Event type: Theatre & Stage
Event Summary: Allan R Kenward wrote Cry Havoc in 1941, while the war was still being fought, and before anyone knew how it would end, and that uncertainty is hugely important to the urgency of the piece. Hailed as a female Journey's End, Cry Havoc puts the same pressure on its characters: confined space, no exit, and the slow erosion of everything that kept them separate from one another. What emerges is less a war play, and more a portrait of strangers becoming a community; bound to one another as ordinary people facing something they weren't trained for and didn't choose. The story follows two Army nurses and eleven civilian volunteers, living and working in a makeshift underground dugout as Japanese forces close in. Presented May 22-31 at Western Reserve Playhouse, in Richfield. Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m. Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets and more info at thewrp.org.
