Roll Up Your Sleeves at This Pasta-Making Night in Long Branch

If your ideal Friday night includes carbs and a little flour on your shirt, this one’s for you. On March 20 at 6 PM, Beach Bee Meadery is hosting a cozy pasta-making class with Cassie, the pasta maker behind Bee’s Pasta & Co.

Cassie has been working and studying as a professional pasta maker since 2018, and she’ll guide guests through the art of fresh pasta using traditional techniques. Expect plenty of laughs, a few new kitchen skills, and pasta you’ll be proud to show off later.

Tickets include all supplies, your first round of drinks, light snacks, a homemade vegetarian pasta dish, and boxes of fresh pasta to take home.

Come for the pasta, stay for the drinks, and leave with a full stomach and a new party trick.

Tiny Hearts Project FUNdraiser Event

If your week could use a little creativity (and maybe a break from staring at screens), this one’s worth checking out. On March 19 from 6:30 to 8:00 PM, Twin Fish Pottery and Wonderland + Sea are hosting the Tiny Hearts Project, a cozy ceramic workshop that’s all about slowing down and getting your hands a little messy.

Each guest will hand-build two small clay hearts. One is yours to keep as a reminder of a sweet night out, and the other will become part of a community art installation created that evening.

Tickets are $35, and $10 from every ticket goes to KYDS Youth Development, so your arts-and-crafts moment also supports a great cause. More information and tickets for purchase in the link below!

Reset Your Mind at this Wellness Retreat at the James Bradley

If your brain has about 47 tabs open right now, consider this your sign to close a few of them. On March 21, The James Bradley is hosting The Wellness Retreat, a full-day designed to help you slow down, breathe a little deeper, and actually relax for once.

The day includes yoga sessions, guided reflections, and two nourishing communal meals meant to reset both body and mind. Think stretching, good food, thoughtful conversation, and a few hours where the only thing on your to-do list is…being present.

It’s essentially a mini reset button, just a few blocks from the ocean. And honestly, a whole day dedicated to your well-being sounds like a pretty solid way to spend a Saturday. Reserve your spot in the link below!
