Join artist Beth Adoette at the Doug Rayner Wildlife Refuge on Sunday, June 8, from 1 to 3:30 pm for a free Art in Nature event, “Meditating With The Four Directions.” This workshop starts with a mindful meditation, as we turn and consider the gifts and guidance of the four directions appearing in this special landscape.
Participants will consider their connection to place, the other inhabitants, and the people with whom they are connected, near and far. We’ll create individual mandalas with objects from the ground to be left in the landscape. The experience will conclude with a group discussion, reflecting on this beautiful and unique practice.
The workshop is open to adults ages 18 and up. Registration is limited to 15 people. The rain date is Sunday, June 22.
