Adult Community Education | Arts & Wellness | 2-hour workshop (Series of 3)
Unite your love of art and nature during this series of creative mindfulness
two-hour workshops! Through expressive arts, eco-mindfulness practices, and
supportive community, we will take good care of eco-anxiety/grief and nurture
hope in relationship with the earth. A little different each time, the three
workshops will feature guided deep relaxation, gentle movement,
journaling, collaging, and singing.
No prior experience or training in any art forms is required.
Following the workshop, participants will have the option to spend an
additional hour on a self-guided nature walk around the gardens.
