Featured Events in Highland in April, 2025 (July Updated)

This special, members-only event is presented in partnership with Humane Indiana Wildlife , whose team played a vital role in rescuing and rehabilitating this remarkable bird. About the Eagle’s Journey: In early March, the bald eagle was discovered in Whiting, Indiana, completely covered in oil and unable to fly. Thanks to the cooperation of local property owners and the dedicated efforts of the Humane Indiana Wildlife team, the eagle was safely rescued and brought in for urgent care. While physically unharmed and testing negative for lead, the bird’s feathers were heavily oiled, rendering it flightless. After multiple cleanings using Dawn dish soap and several weeks in an outdoor recovery enclosure to allow its natural oils to replenish, the eagle is now healthy, strong, and ready to soar once more. Why Attend: • Witness a powerful moment in conservation and wildlife rehabilitation • Learn more about local wildlife rescue efforts • Support a great cause—100% of ticket sales and donations will go directly to Humane Indiana Wildlife Tickets: This special event limited to Dunes-Calumet Audubon Society Members.

Hello Beautiful Souls! Come Celebrate my birthday with me as I host a Guided Meditation and Healing Sound Bath. What better way to celebrate me dancing around the sun daily and I stop on my Birth-Day to take a bow. To show my gratitude, I will be giving away door prizes such as crystals, discounts off of services and a free crystal card reading! Please bring a yoga mat, bolster, pillow, eye mask, blankets and/or whatever else you may need as you lie on the floor, while I take you on a healing and relaxing journey using guided meditation and playing a melodious and healing sound bath. You owe it to yourself to lie back and allow your chakras to absorb the vibrations from the beautiful frosted crystal singing bowls and other soothing instruments. If you would like to bring your crystals to be cleansed during the sound bath, please don't hesitate to do so. As a way to enhance your sound bath session, write down your affirmations and bring them with you to hold in your hand as you receive your healing and transmutation of energy. Please make sure you arrive at least 10 minutes early to set up. Information Source: LaTunya Fleming, The House of Zen, LLC | eventbrite
