Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Come laugh and learn in this art & writing workshop! Beginners will learn how to keep a regular sketchbook & "bad haiku" field journal. These mindfulness practices will grow our drawing skills & help us "stop, look, and listen" to the miraculous in the mundane of our own backyards. No skill needed. All supplies provided.
Plants offer us so much more than physical medicine. Your instructor will lead a guided drumming meditation, helping participants tune in to receive their own unique healing messages from the plants. Explore the history of plant spirit medicine, local medicinal plants, and the spirit medicine they offer us. Meditations will be led outside, weather permitting. Dress for the weather.
Explore the lush landscape of the gardens with a nature-inspired writing prompt, return to the classroom to reflect on your experience, and share your writing if you would like. This class will inspire writers of all experience levels to find fresh joy in the writing process and challenge participants to look at the natural world through new eyes.
