"What about Peace?" Nature as Ceremony, Healing, and Conservation

Join us for a meaningful, nature-inspired art workshop designed to nurture creativity and well-being. Each participant will receive three signed copies of original artwork to use as their coloring materials, along with thoughtful prompts to guide reflection.
We will begin with a grounding sensory experience to help participants connect with the present moment before moving into our creative exploration. Through the three artworks, we’ll reflect on the role of nature in mental wellness, discover the medicinal benefits of plants, and consider the importance of conserving our natural world. The session will close with a shared poem and a call to action, leaving participants inspired and empowered to care for themselves and the environment.
