Upcoming Schedule: Mindfulness in the Garden - July 15 from 10 AM to Noon Mindfulness is shown to have benefits for our physical, mental and emotional well-being alike. Participants will engage in various mindfulness practices together using the beautiful garden space as our backdrop and our classroom. We will try on a few different activities so participants explore the tools that work best for them. Make Your Own Tea from the Garden - August 19 from 10 AM to Noon Learn how to make tea from leaves yielded from your very own garden! Greeting Plants for Grief - September 9 from 10 AM to Noon Take a walk around the garden and get to know some of the plants that can help us through our grief journey. Participants will not only learn the stories of different plants for grief and how they have been used through history, we will also have the chance to get to meet some of them up close and personal in the garden through our touch, smell, and taste, and community discussion. Creating through Grief: Floating Floral Art - October 7 from 10 AM to Noon In this workshop, participants will use flowers and other objects found in the garden to create their own temporary art. Inspired by the Buddhist practice of creating mandalas, we will practice arranging a flower design as a form of meditation with nature. At the end of our session, participants will engage in a community discussion around how this process may relate to our grief journey and any lessons we can bring back to our day to day lives.
