Friday
Mornings
Friday mornings are the heart of Tranquil Waters Forest & Folk. We gather beneath the trees for seasonal stories, handwork, nature exploration, shared traditions, and plenty of time for children to simply play.
Our gatherings follow the rhythm of the year rather than a set curriculum, allowing each season to shape what we make, notice, celebrate, and learn together.
New families are always welcome to begin here.

Fall Friday Sessions
Folk Bees
A quilting bee is a communal social gathering where people collaborate to assemble, stitch, and finish a quilt.
Today, "bees" are still very active, though their purpose has shifted from pure necessity to social connection, skill-sharing, and philanthropy.
