Welcome to the WACKY Institute (Wellness Arts Center- Know Yourself) — our little experiment in learning who we are by doing things with our hands, bodies, and attention.
This isn’t a typical school. It’s a blacksmithing school, a tai chi circle, a yoga and meditation space, and an art studio — all rolled into one. We built it for people (ourselves included) who figure things out best by moving, making, and paying attention.
Here you’ll find:
- Blacksmithing — fire, hammer, steel. You learn patience, focus, and a lot about yourself when you’re shaping hot metal.
- Tai Chi, Yoga & Meditation — slow down, breathe, listen to your body. These practices clear the noise so you can actually hear what’s going on inside.
- Art programs — drawing, painting, sculpting, whatever wants to come out. No judgment, just expression.
- Nature — reconnect to yourself through the beauty of nature surrounded by wildlife. We try to work with nature instead of against it here.
Everything we do here is designed for one thing: helping you learn who you are. Not by talking about it in the abstract, but by putting tools in your hands, feet on the ground, and attention on the present.
If that sounds like your kind of WACKY, you’re welcome here. Come make something — and meet yourself in the process.
We need your help spreading the word! We are looking for people who believe in what we are doing and interested in helping us do it as well.
