Umzinyathi Cultural Experiences: Dates, Itinerary & Tickets Price(November Updated)

Having explored the early history of the lake’s commu nities in our past series, we will now witness how they became who they are today. We’ll learn about the arrival of the later hotel and resort era , transportation improve ments , and the development of schools, churches, businesses, and civic organizations . This not-so-distant history will take us from these small, rural villages to the still small, thriving suburban lakeshore communities experienced today. And, we’ll enjoy a little nostalgia along the way! At the turn of the century, mammoth steamboats and tourism began to leave the lake and Excelsior township and village began to dissolve into five communities, with Excelsior taking its place as the downtown of the south shore. Served by the streetcar from the Twin Cities and home to the popular Excelsior Amusement Park for almost fifty years, tiny Excelsior’s history is still evident today. Free registration is requested. Capacity is limited and seating is first come, first served. Doors open at 6:30 pm. A $5.00 suggested contribution is appreciated. [Images: Water Street, looking northwest, Excelsior, MN, 1948.] The Lake Minnetonka Historical Society tells the story of Lake Minnetonka by collecting, preserving and sharing its history. The Society was formed in October 2023 through the consolidation of the Excelsior-Lake Minnetonka Historical Society , the Museum of Lake Minnetonka , the Wayzata Historical Society and the Westonka Historical Society .

What if forgiveness wasn't something you owed someone else - but something you gave yourself? What if letting go wasn’t about forgetting - but about freeing your spirit from carrying what no longer serves you? Join Fitz-Gerald Cushnie, Spiritual and Self Discovery Guide and founder of Sacred Self Sanctuary (nonprofit) and Self Place , for an intentional, meditative experience in stillness, awareness, and release. This is not a workshop. It is not a lecture. There is no emotional storytelling. No pressure to share. No fixing. No forcing. Instead, this gathering is a sacred space to gently return to yourself - to notice, to soften, and, when your spirit is ready, to release the emotional and energetic weight of past experiences.
