Jewelry designer Jessica Senteno of Black Willow Jewelry leads a talisman-making workshop, guiding guests through a short lecture on talismans before hand-carving wax into one-of-a-kind pendants or altar pieces. No prior jewelry-making experience is needed, and finished bronze castings are ready for pickup at the PRS gift shop in two to three weeks.
A quietly mystical Los Feliz compound that feels like you accidentally wandered onto the set of a 1930s occult noir. There’s a library packed with esoteric texts, a courtyard that begs for whispered conversations, and a steady calendar of lectures that swing from genuinely mind-expanding to delightfully unhinged. Come for a talk on alchemy or Jung, stay because the energy is strange in a soothing way. It’s cerebral, eerie, and deeply LA in the most charming sense.
