Explore the beauty of the Van Vleck Gardens this spring through reflective writing and creative mark-making. This mindfulness-based class/series invites you to slow down, observe the natural world and turn your blank pages into a wonderland of personal observations. Each class takes place in a different area of the Gardens (weather permitting), offering new inspiration for discovery. Deepen your connection with nature and yourself in a no-pressure environment. No art or writing experience necessary – just an openness to explore, reflect and create.
Fee: Series Rate (4 classes): $50 Members / $70 General Public
Individual Rate: $15 Members / $20 General Public
Registration required by 1 day prior to class.
