May 29 / Eco-Art Wellness Mandala Workshop: Meditation Mandalas / New Workshop! / Blithewold Mansion, Gardens & Arboretum, 101 Ferry Road (Rt. 114), Bristol, RI (6 PM - 8 PM) (Register Here!)
Many of us have practices or mental prompts to help center and calm ourselves either as a daily practice or during challenging moments. Whether you have a practice or would like to hear how others approach calming meditation, this workshop provides an opportunity to honor our meditation intentions and explore what they might look like in visual form. Participants create individual nature mandalas that can be used as beautiful reminders to meditate or use as meditation prompts themselves.

July 28 / Eco-Art Wellness Mandala Workshop: Day's Eye / New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, 11 French Dr, Boylston, MA (1 PM - 3:30 PM) (Register Here!)
Hundreds of years ago, the daisy was called “day’s eye” in England, and “the eye of the day” in Wales. These lovely names are derived from the way this flower pays attention as it opens its petals in the morning, turns to follow the sun’s path, and then closes back up at night and moves towards the east in anticipation of the sun. In this workshop, we take our cue from this humble yet wise flower, as we try to identify our daily intentions and create a nature mandala to act as a beautiful and practical reminder of our intentions.

September 8 (Rain Date September 15) / Land Art Mandala Workshop: Reciprocity In the Presence of Trees / Osamequin Farm, Corner of Walnut St. and Prospect St., Seekonk MA (2 PM - 4:30 PM) (Register Here!)
This workshop is truly a unique opportunity to co-create with nature in a special grove of pines. We will consider gratitude and reciprocity as we interact and co-create with the oaks, pines, and other residents in this special place. Mandalas will be created with objects from the ground and left in the woods. Group discussion will follow. Come connect with the trees, the landscape, and other open-minded people as we consider the language and gifts of trees.
ACCESSIBILITY: Please note that this workshop includes walking on uneven ground which may be muddy in spots. Please wear appropriate footwear. Circles will be created on or near the ground. If you are not comfortable standing for long periods of time or sitting on the ground, consider brining a lightweight folding chair.

October 27, 2024 / Eco-Art Wellness Mandala Workshop: Nautilus Wisdom / New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, 11 French Dr, Boylston, MA (1 PM - 3:30 PM) (Register Here!)
As the chambered nautilus grows, it creates and moves into larger chambers within its shell creating a beautiful fibonacci sequence. This ancient creature’s beauty, however, is more than shell deep. As it grows, it creates new chambers but continues to use the old compartments to navigate the ocean depths. In this workshop, we consider the different stages of our lives and see how we might use our past to help navigate the present and future. If you have ever felt you have lived many different lives, this workshop may be for you!
