Spirit of the Season: Art & Mindfulness Workshops
Join us for the final two seasonal art & mindfulness workshops at the Garden Chapel Sanctuary, November 1st and December 20th. Our facilitators Sarah Paulsen and Natalie Baldeón will guide you through nature-themed artmaking via prompted conversations and mindfulness practices. The theme of each session will coincide with seasonal happenings (spring, summer, fall, winter). The primary medium engaged is watercolor painting. All materials provided.
The sessions will be interwoven with mindfulness and grounding practices that promote introspection and healing. By utilizing materials and content that balance depth and levity, these workshops offer new artistic skills, deep reflection, and the opportunity to forge new connections to people and places. This workshop will leave you feeling inspired, grounded, and connected. Don't miss this opportunity to engage your own creativity through careful observation and reflection of the world around you as the seasons change!

Monthly Offerings
We gather each 2nd Saturday morning for a nature-themed community song circle. The monthly facilitator(s) will teach simple, a cappella songs for all to learn and join in. All voices welcome, no previous experience necessary!
These song circles will gather in our newly created "Council Circle" clearing within the nature sanctuary. Please meet in the lower parking lot of Garden Chapel Sanctuary along Dautel Ln. and then follow the short path to the Council Circle.
Through gentle guided movement (yoga & qi gong), awakening and calming breath practices, and simple meditative practice, we will explore questions like: What does your body have to teach you about being calm and grounded? What does your breath have to teach you about being alive? What does nature have to teach us about being and living AS resource? Please bring your own yoga mat and a blanket if you have them.
