September 21 (Rain Date September 28) (OUTSIDE) / Tree Mandala Series: Gingko / Blithewold Mansion and Arboretum, Bristol, RI (10 AM - Noon) (Register Here!)
On this International Day of Peace, visit and create beside a ginkgo tree – a symbol of peace and hope. After walking within the Blithewold property to collect nature items from the ground, we will combine them with other natural objects to create nature mandalas that reflect the message of this unique tree that has witnessed and lived through mass extinction and the bombing of Hiroshima. As we celebrate and honor the spirit of this tree, we will see what our intuition may be telling us about peace and hope. Let’s explore peace together!

Join other curious, creative, open-minded people as we walk this unique Barrington Land Conservation Trust property and create ephemeral nature mandalas in the landscape using only objects found at the site. Then, with the help of some short introspective writing and meaningful discussion, allow nature, art, and your own intuition to give you insight into your life at this moment in time and place. This interesting eco-art wellness experience is an opportunity to connect with yourself, nature, and community all in a beautiful setting of tidal cove, grassland, and marsh.

October 27 / 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!
