Exploratory Workshop: Community, Character, Creativity

This month, we’re doing things a little differently.

In the spirit of NOMAD — a theme chosen by our Ulaanbaatar chapter — we’re setting off on a creative journey together. Instead of a keynote, you’ll rotate through three hands-on mini workshops, each led by a local creative guide. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure morning, with purpose.

✨ Explore Community with Bradley Steckart through storytelling and connection ✨ Explore Character with Cris Siqueira through zine-making and self-reflection ✨ Explore Creativity with Hannah Samoy through art and intention-setting

Come curious. Come ready to move. Wander, wonder, repeat.

ABOUT OUR VENUE Founded in 1913 on a floating clubhouse—the LILY E Schooner—SSYC has a rich history. The current clubhouse, built in 1938, is home to the nationally known Queen’s Cup Race across Lake Michigan. Whether you’re a lifelong sailor, a first-time visitor, or just here for great food, sunset views, great company and family-friendly events, there’s something for everyone!

Unlike many yacht clubs, SSYC is a lively hub all year round. More and more of their members don’t own boats, but they still enjoy everything our community has to offer. SSYC dues and slip fees remain affordable, ensuring that South Shore is truly a place where everyone feels at home.

They operate a full-service marina with 230 slips, crane, fuel dock, tender, dry-sail storage and winter storage. The grounds exude genteel charm. Downtown Milwaukee’s waterfront skyline provides a sweeping vista in the distance.
