Immersing ourselves in the inner and outer process of creating can take us deeper into our own space of creative flow, reflection, and mindfulness. Finding inspiration through connecting with elements of the natural world that might also be in ourselves, connects us with our own belonging and interbeing.

Nadine Mazzola will guide participants in weaving these themes together, encouraging each person’s own unique expression using a simple variety of artistic media. Through time wandering alone, playful experimenting, and time reflecting together, we will explore and celebrate these qualities in the natural world and ourselves.

Participants are asked to bring a sack lunch as we will take a break in the afternoon.

What to Expect: A leisurely walk with stops along the way where we will gather and sit. Please check the weather forecast so you are prepared and see the suggestions below for different types of weather. Students will need weather-appropriate clothing and accessories (sunglasses, sunscreen, extra warm layers or rain jacket or umbrella, etc.) for outdoor experiential learning activities.
