Pride at MoonStone MPLS: Events, Workshops, and Community All June Long
Pride is not just a month for us. It is woven into what MoonStone is every single day. But June gives us a reason to turn it up, to fill the calendar with people and practices that reflect the full, wonderful breadth of our community. This year we are doing it all: workshops that challenge the way we think about tradition, crafts, fundraisers for organizations doing real work for queer youth, and a gallery wall that belongs to everyone who walks through the door. We are feeling the growth energy this summer, and we want you to be part of it.
June is always a meaningful month at MoonStone MPLS, and 2026 is no different. The shop at 3304 East Lake Street in Longfellow, Minneapolis is celebrating Pride all month long with workshops, art installations, community fundraisers, and visiting artists and facilitators.
Queering Workshops
Queering is the practice of re-examining and challenging traditional norms around gender, sexuality, and identity. Throughout June, Thursday night workshops at MoonStone will explore this theme through a rotating lineup of facilitators. Topics include Queering Ancestor Work, Queering Tarot, Queering Astrology, and Queering Ritual. Sessions run from 6 to 8 PM.
Craft and Astrology Series
Wednesday evenings bring craft-based workshops including Pride beeswax candle making with Ashley, zinemaking with Hidden Magic Studio, and bracelet making with Bruhadacity. A Tuesday Astrology 101 Series meets weekly, covering the signs, the planets, and practical approaches to astrological understanding. All workshops are open to beginners and provide a space to ask questions, share observations, and build friendships within the MoonStone community.
Community Fundraisers
MoonStone is dedicating two weekends in June to fundraising for local organizations. From June 12 to 14, 20% of sales will be donated to Reclaim, an organization supporting LGBTQ+ youth. From June 26 to 28, 20% of sales will go to Queerspace Collective. Shopping at MoonStone during these weekends is a direct way to support the broader queer community in Minneapolis.
Art Installation and Coloring Gallery
The gallery wall at MoonStone is getting a new installation this month, featuring work by Ranebo, host of the monthly Trans and Nonbinary Spirituality Circle. Alongside that, the shop is hosting a community Pride Coloring Sheet display, featuring artwork designed by ritual facilitator Brink Starlilypink.
Drop off your completed coloring sheet at the store to be part of the gallery wall and pick up a Pride Prize package. A coloring station is set up in the shop for anyone who wants to sit down, create, and cool off.
