Emotions are high as we all are experiencing lots of changes as we welcome in the Full Blood Moon Eclipse on Sunday 🌝 ✨This eclipse represents endings, closure, and completion. Something needs to end, and this Eclipse is going to be the trigger. When the lunar eclipse meets Scorpio, magic is in the air. Scorpio is one of the most transformative signs of the zodiac ♏️🦂Paired with a lunar eclipse, this becomes a potent time for revelation, change, and immense breakthroughs.🖤

This full moon acts as a giant beam of light shining down on all that feels heavy and dark in our lives 💫🔥 We will gather around the fire to connect with what lights us up inside. To burn out the past and come into the present with cleansed emotions. What is dimming your light? What sets your soul on fire? We will hold space to ask ourselves these questions so we can begin shifting things out of our body, out of our minds, out of our heart, and out of our lives.

We come together as a collective to hold space for each other and allow the full moon energy to hold us. The energy is there for us to use, but it's only real if we act on it. We all deserve that fiery love we call in, but only if we create space for that fiery love to live within ourselves first. ❤️‍🔥🧘New to meditation? No worries. Just come as you are. All are welcome.

This guided meditation + fire ritual will take place in the comfort of Rachael’s backyard. Address will be disclosed once ticket is purchased. 🌈💛 Link in the bio to purchase!

I won’t front, when I was first asked to teach high school yoga with @yogavillagers, I was a bit intimidated. But honestly it may be my new favorite! It’s incredibly important to foster a safe space for teens to be supported and encouraged to connect with eye contact and safe touch with other humans, especially after those basic interactions were non existent for two years. It took a few giggles to get this “tree of life” rooted, but we did it with smiles and grace! Looking back on these Seniors first yoga class with me Freshman year gets me a little misty eyed (swipe to the last two photos). 🥺 I will forever remember these humbling moments. Congrats @nhhs22stae Seniors!! NamaSTAE forever ❤️‍🔥

Come learn the beautiful art of natural bundle dyeing in the beautiful gardens at the New Hanover Arboretum Sunday, May 22nd from 10am-1pm! 💐🎨✨

Wondering how to recycle those old floral arrangements? Learn how to extract color from plant matter, locally forged flowers, cochineal bugs, and more. 🌷🦋You’d be amazed at the colors attained by using plants! If you have ever been curious about natural dyes, then bundle dyeing is a great introduction. Bundle dyeing is easy, sustainable, non-toxic and fun!

Staring with a grounding plant meditation in the flower gardens then you will be introduced to the beautiful alchemy of botanical bundling and will leave with your own botanically dyed silk fabric and cotton bandana or dish towel to experiment with. 🧘🏻‍♀️🌎💛 Fabric, natural dyes and fresh flowers will all be provided. However participants are encouraged to bring any old floral bouquets. No previous dyeing experience necessary!

We are excited to partner with the New Hanover Arboretum and resonate with their mission to provide gardening opportunities to special needs individuals in our community and serve as a model for other sites interested in integrating gardening and nature based activities into their programming. 🌱🪷⛩We are honored to be the first hosting a workshop of this kind at the Arboretum.

Arboretum members get a discounted ticket price & a portion of tickets sales will be donated to the Arboretum as well. Limited tickets available - see you there ! 💛

Our heARTS are flooded with gratitude from all who showed up to support another Crafted Market. Whether you purchased creations from local vendors, local businesses in the community, stopped by the Waterway NC booth, or simply just came out to enjoy the sunshine and live music, we appreciate YOU! 

I cannot believe exactly 1 year ago from the market we opened the doors to Crafted. In 2020 I relocated Adult Craft Camp and Live Music Yoga with Jackie DeConti to the Alcove. We wanted to continue to gather and practice yoga and art safely when yoga studios had shut down. After gaining much success, Billy, the owner of the Alcove, asked me if I’d be interested in hosting makers markets there. We witnessed small businesses and makers suffer & wanted to put our dollars back in our community. I gathered my maker friends with similar values and began to curate a monthly market to support the local makers, musicians, food trucks, and the surrounding local businesses. We began partnering with nonprofits in the area to bring awareness to local issues in our community. With help from a lot of friends the Crafted Market bloomed! It’s amazing the magic you can create when you join forces with other like minded creators.  

As the Craft Camps and Markets began to blossom, so did the Cargo District. I was approached by Christian with Aloha real estate, to open up a space to host my workshops and markets in the district. This was a huge plunge for me but after a trip to the mountains & the receival of heavy cosmic message - I took the plunge. March of 2021 I signed the lease to open up the Crafted Outpost and haven’t turned back. 

The Crafted Outpost is a creation starter. A safe space to be felt, seen, and heard in our fullest expression. A place where we can check out of the day-to-today and immerse ourselves in self-love and creative expression while connecting with the community. Imagining all of the hands who have contributed to making this little downtown warehouse a creative sanctuary makes my heart sing. Eternally grateful for this supportive community. Not only are you supporting my dreams, you are supporting every maker in the shop and markets dreams too.

IT’S MAKER MONDAY ✨

Hey y’all! It’s me, Jes, owner/creator at The Burn Room. I am INCREDIBLY honored to be this weeks “Meet the Maker” at the magical Crafted Outpost!

I am born & raised in Half Moon, NC & local to Wilmington for the past 13 years. I’m a wild boy mama to a 4 year old, Bear, and a 1 year old, Nash. I’ve always been a lover of all things nature and you’ll catch me every single morning with a cup of coffee & binoculars watching birds like the old lady I am😆. I studied Environmental Science at UNCW, & have been a licensed wildlife rehabber for a few years now, rescuing & releasing squirrels, opossums & birds.
Protecting our environment & making sustainable choices is important to me & one of the many reasons I am so joyed to have my glass in the Crafted Outpost.

The Burn Room came to be in November 2021 when I started making cups for me to enjoy that morning (iced) coffee out of. The happiness it brought me spilled out to friends & soon enough I was creating for others to enjoy as well. The inspiration & goal of my designs is to speak to individual personalities & bring a little happiness to their day, because we are all just doing our best, & we deserve a moment of happiness!

Fun fact: The “burn” Room comes from my last name, Marshburn, & the special little room I create in. Thank you all for supporting & enjoying my work & the works of all the wonderful creators in the treasure chest. Hope to see y’all soon!

You can find an array of groovy reusable glasses exclusive to Crafted at the shop! 🌈
