🧘💗 MEDITATE AND CREATE: Find your Zen moment at Peace River Botanical and Sculpture Gardens!
Step into the intersection of art, meditation, and nature with a REFLECTIVE experience guided by meditation teacher Laurie Lyons. this immersive workshop offers a unique way to connect with the ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN exhibit at the gardens. In our daily lives, it’s easy to become disconnected and forget how intimately linked we are with nature. Meditation can help us reconnect and experience ourselves as alive and awake expressions of nature. Our time will include guided meditation, walking meditation that takes us through The Gardens, and time to respond to the exhibit creatively with haiku poetry, drawing, watercolors, and origami. Live shakuhachi flute music offered by Adam Wells will provide a meditative soundscape.
All are welcome! No previous experience with art, poetry, origami or meditation required. All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your art supplies if you like.
Location: The Pergola
Includes general admission to The Gardens & Full Access to the ORIGAMI IN THE GARDEN exhibition!
