Winter Learning That Fits Your Life

 

Winter is a great time to reset your routine and invest in yourself. Our continuing education classes give you a reason to step out of the house, stay curious, and keep learning during the quieter months. You gain new skills, meet people from across the community, and use the season to focus on growth that feels practical and enjoyable.

This winter schedule brings together creativity, wellness, and real life skills. You can explore Astrology for Personal Growth, reconnect with imagination in Creative Writing 2, or build confidence through Improv for Life. If reflection is calling you, Writing A Short Memoir and Beginning Fiction offer structured ways to shape your ideas. Visual learners can work hands on in Linocut Printmaking, Introduction to Zine Making, or Beginning Portraiture in Charcoal. History and culture come alive in The Great Migration: Voices in Art & History and Winter at Seattle Art Galleries, while nature focused learners can spend time with Birds of the Skagit Flats.

We also offer classes that support everyday living. Winter Favorite Soups: Pasta E Fagioli brings comfort cooking into your kitchen. Vital Living: Mind Body Spirit supports balance during a demanding season. Welcome to Medicare and Confident Interviewing for Professionals in Transition provide clear guidance during important life changes. Practical skills continue with Basic Carpentry and Woodworking, helping you feel more capable at home.

What makes our continuing education classes different is the non credit learning environment. You do not need grades, tests, or long term academic commitments. You show up to learn because you want to. Classes are open to adults at every stage of life, from career changers to retirees to creative hobbyists. Instructors focus on real world experience, conversation, and skills you can use right away.

Our program is rooted in community. These classes bring neighbors together, support local instructors and artists, and create shared spaces for learning and connection. When you enroll, you are supporting accessible education that strengthens the region and keeps learning open to everyone.

Winter is the perfect season to try something new. Pick one class or build a full week of learning that fits your schedule. Browse the upcoming dates, along with all of our classes, save your spot, and make this winter one where you invest in yourself and your community.
