Workshop2: Native Plants

Thursday, August 10 from 6pm-7:30pm at White Pine Wellness

Have you ever found yourself in awe of the beauty of a monarch butterfly, the song of a Chickadee or the serenity of a deer? Our most memorable and meditative moments in nature often include interactions with insects, birds and animals. Native plants provide habitat and food for these friends, allowing us to have a deeper connection to them and ourselves. In this workshop we will discuss how to create native habitats in our own backyards and communities to create a positive ripple effect that reaches far beyond ourselves.

 

Workshop 3: Gardening 101

Friday, September 15 from 6pm-7:30pm at White Pine Wellness

Are you interested in practicing meditation, but have felt that stillness is a challenge? Many of us think of meditation as sitting in stillness, however movement is actually integral in many forms of meditation. Gardening is one way to practice moving meditation. In this workshop we will learn about how connecting with our outdoor spaces provides a sense of peace, and both physical and mental health benefits. Cassidy Need (owner of Native Edible Designs) will lead us in proper planting techniques as we get our hands dirty. You will go home with a perennial plant to continue practicing your planting meditation in your own yard.
