SUMMARY:Nature Book Club: April
DESCRIPTION:Nature Book Club: April\n\n\n\nThe Brushwood Nature Book Club is a space to talk about and explore nature literature in a friendly environment. Each meeting includes discussion\, creative writing\, and/or art activities to engage with the themes of the chosen book\, led by Brushwood’s Poet-in-Residence Kathryn Haydon\, and writer-artist Megan Donahue.   \n\n\n\nOur April book will be The Place of Tides\, by James Rebanks. This is a magical work of nonfiction in which James Rebanks reflects on a life-changing summer spent on a remote island off the coast of Norway\, where his only companion was an old woman who practiced the ancient tradition of collecting eiderdown from birds that nest on this remarkable landscape each year.  \n\n\n\nIt is the story of a unique and ancient landscape\, and of the woman who brought it back to life. It traces the pattern of her work from the rough\, isolated toil of bitter winter to the elation of the endless summer light\, when the birds leave behind their precious down for gathering\, like feathered gold. \n\n\n\nSlowly\, Rebanks begins to understand that this woman and her world are not what he had previously thought. What began as a journey of escape becomes an extraordinary lesson in self-knowledge and forgiveness. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:BASE: Open Art Workshop with Catherine Tully
DESCRIPTION:You Choose the Project · Use Tools and Supplies From BASE · Get Help When You Need It\n\n\n\nOpen Art Workshop is open to anyone who wants to make something in any area of visual arts and crafts\, from the experienced artist looking for a community of others to work with\, to the complete novice who just wants to try something out in a low pressure environment\, or the family looking for a fun kids’ activity to fill their afternoon – this workshop is for you! \n\n\n\nThis is the last Open Art Workshop of 2026\, due to construction at Brushwood this summer and fall.  \n\n\n\nThis month\, our guest artist is Catherine Tully. Catherine Tully is a cyanotype artist from Des Plaines\, Illinois\, whose visual language is deeply shaped by more than five decades in the world of ballet. Her lifelong engagement with movement\, balance\, and line informs her distinctive approach to botanical cyanotypes and wet cyanotype experimentation. Stop by to learn from Catherine! \n\n\n\nWHAT DOES IT COST? Workspace\, use of our tools and any instruction or assistance you need is free; supplies from BASE are “pay what you want” (free to teachers and organizations). \n\n\n\nWHAT CAN I MAKE? Almost* anything! Come with a project you want to work on in mind\, or pick one from our list of project ideas for all ages and abilities. You are welcome to bring your own supplies and tools\, or use ones from BASE. You can work independently\, or work with an instructor. Here are just a few ideas of what you can learn and do at the Open Art Workshop: \n\n\n\nWatercolor · Embroidery · Mosaics · Book Binding · Charcoal Drawing · Knitting & Crochet · Decoupage · Sewing & Mending · Jewelry Making · Plein Air Painting · Basket Weaving · Picture Framing · Card Making · Kids Art Projects · Block Printing · Stained Glass · Acrylic Painting · Costume Making · Weaving · Collage · UpCycling · Gift Wrapping · Sculpture · Upholstery · Colored Pencil · Wreath Making · Beading · Rubber Stamps · Oil Painting · Quilting · Pastels · Macramé · Miniatures \n\n\n\n*We will do our best to accommodate all types of projects\, but there may be limitations on what is possible on a particular day due to limitations of space\, supplies or tools (supplies and tools are mostly donated\, and what is available is always changing)\, or due to a particular project being too messy or dangerous to be done in a public space. If a particular project cannot be worked on during the Workshop that day\, we will do our best to help you figure out how to proceed on a future Workshop date or on your own. Since this Workshop is open to ALL topics and media\, we won’t be experts on everything\, but we can definitely help you get started. \n\n\n\nIf you have questions about Open Art Workshop or BASE\, please contact Julia Kemerer at 224-633-2426 or jkemerer@brushwoodcenter.org. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nREGISter

SUMMARY:Environmental Film Series by Kateryna Sazonova
DESCRIPTION:Environmental Film Series by Kateryna Sazonova\n\n\n\nJoin us for a compelling afternoon of film and conversation with Ukrainian filmmaker\, environmentalist\, and Brushwood Center Videographer-in-Residence\, Kateryna Sazonova.  \n\n\n\nThis program features a screening of Sazonova’s environmental film series—three interconnected short films that examine the urgent realities of climate change and humanity’s impact on the planet through both documentary and speculative storytelling. Currently based in Chicago\, Sazonova is a graduate of Columbia College Chicago\, where she earned her MFA in Film and TV Directing in 2023. Her work has received international recognition\, including a 2025 Emmy Award for her contributions to public television with WTTW / PBS Chicago. \n\n\n\nPlastic (2018) is a documentary with experimental elements that traces the rise of plastic from its invention in the early 20th century to its overwhelming presence today. The film imagines a future where plastic has overtaken the natural world\, offering a stark warning about the consequences of inaction. \n\n\n\n200 Years Before 2389\, a prequel to her latest work\, is a short fiction film set in a post-environmental apocalypse. It follows a lone survivor navigating a world shaped by ecological collapse\, providing an intimate glimpse into a possible future shaped by today’s choices. \n\n\n\n2389: Coming Home continues this narrative in a sci-fi context\, as two figures from a Martian colony—a scientist and a soldier—return to a devastated Earth to assess its habitability. As they confront the realities of a planet altered by climate change and resource wars\, they face a moral dilemma that challenges the future of humanity itself. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screening\, Sazonova will lead a lecture and discussion on environmental storytelling and sustainability in the film industry. Drawing from her own creative practice\, she will explore how filmmakers can reduce environmental impact and how audiences can translate these ideas into everyday life. \n\n\n\nThis event invites viewers to reflect on the power of cinema not only to tell stories\, but to inspire meaningful change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:bouquet with rogue wave dance
DESCRIPTION:bouquet with rogue wave dance\n\n\n\nrogue wave is a New York-based dance company led by Catherine Messina that presents work at the intersection of psychology and movement\, often with a comedic twist. They are bringing their piece bouquet to Brushwood. \n\n\n\nNeuroscientists classify individuals as dandelions (resilient and able to thrive in a variety of environments)\, orchids (highly sensitive and reactive)\, or tulips\, who exist somewhere in between. These outcomes are partially determined by epigenetics\, the way in which our upbringing\, and the generations before\, influences genetic expression. \n\n\n\nbouquet challenges the cast to examine the unique cultural and demographic experiences that have played formative roles in their development. Various permutations of dancers are matched with the intention of analyzing how their movement changes based on the similarity\, or lack thereof\, of their respective “flower profiles.” In this\, they ask the audience to consider what their own flower might be\, and how it feels to be a part of the greater meadow\, your community. \n\n\n\nThe 3:00 pm performance will be followed by a lecture with rogue wave’s Catherine Messina and Dr. Hector Rasgado-Flores\, Ph.D from Rosalind Franklin University. \n\n\n\nSchedule \n\n\n\n1:00 pm – Family Performance Begins \n\n\n\n1:45 pm – Family Performance Ends \n\n\n\n3:00 pm – General Audience Performance Begins \n\n\n\n3:45 pm – General Audience Performance Ends \n\n\n\n4:00 pm – Special Lecture Begins \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet your tickets

DESCRIPTION:Celestial Nature and Forest Therapy: May Blue Moon\n\n\n\nForest bathing is a guided experience that works to mend the relationships humans have with themselves\, the concept of time\, their communities\, and their environment. It is a practice focused on remembering reciprocity by connecting to our senses through the natural world. \n\n\n\nJoin Jess Rodriguez\, certified Nature and Forest Therapy guide\, for a two-hour practice filled with a series of guided invitations that offer opportunities of presence\, stress relief\, and relaxation.  \n\n\n\nDuring this time\, participants can expect to walk slowly for less than a mile with plenty of opportunities to stop and simply notice the world around them. Forest bathing is an adaptable and flexible practice that welcomes people of all abilities. For more information visit reciprocalforestbathing.com \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nFor the safety of our community\, the exact location of the forest bathing experience will be disclosed upon registration and is subject to change in the case of a community safety concern. Registrants will receive a reminder email one week and 24 hours before the walk to be notified of any changes.  \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE
