Soulful and Sacred Nature-Based
Creative Arts

These nature-based creative art offerings help you reconnect with your imagination and experience joy through nature and art. We invite you to explore your wild creativity, syncing into our inner natural rhythms and finding soulful ways to connect with the seasons and cycles of the Wheel of the Year.

Take some time out for yourself to cultivate curiosity and deepen your connection with the natural world through our nature-based creative arts workshops and classes. We aim to create a social atmosphere of fun and creativity, bringing nature, art, and our community together. You do not need any art experience to enjoy our nature-based creative art offerings.

Creating art within nature brings us closer to our deep-rooted connection to Mother Earth—reminding us that we are not separate from nature; we are all a part of nature. By engaging with all of nature’s cycles and rhythms and aligning with them, we can live with more grace, ease, and joy.

There is something magical, sacred, and ancestorial in creating art with nature. It returns us to the simplicity and wonder of the natural world. It is our hope that through taking part in activities that connect us to the earth's cycles we live in, we are moved to be kinder caretakers & better stewards to our Mother Earth as we are reminded that we, too, belong to nature.

Nature is Not Only a Subject,
but a Medium

We Believe That Creativity is Medicine for the Soul

Creating art in nature promotes knowledge, understanding, and connection to the environment, and the act itself is a mindful one: taking the time to stop, look and create can be a useful tool for managing anxiety and depression. It lets us quiet our mind chatter and allows our wild, inner voice to come through. We live in a world where we are constantly consuming digital data. Creativity is the polarity of digital consumption. Allowing time to create with intention from the heart is vital to the well-being of our soul. And when we create with intention, it helps us tap into our wise, inner guidance and allows us to become more intimately present with life.

Take time for yourself and leave behind the noisy world we live in, and reconnect with ourselves, each other, and our more-than-human world.

 

Intuitive Creativity Workshops

Kelly Nicholson is our guide during these intuitive creativity sessions to help you bring your vision of the light within alive on paper. She will share knowledge of intuitive art techniques and help guide and hold space for our inner artist to come out and play. Inspired poetry and background music will help fuel your creative fire and focus your spontaneous play.

Participants create in a silent, safe, confidential, and judgment-free space in this intuitive creativity class. You are invited to simply be with yourself, much like meditation. You may paint on an easel, a table, or on the ground, whatever modality meets your needs. All art materials are supplied so as not to inhibit the painting process. There will be an array of mediums for you to choose from; you are welcome to pick whatever calls to your inner creator.

EarthMind
Journaling Series

We begin with a centering meditation in nature. A guided, slow, mindful walk through the forest with a series of invitations crafted to help participants slow down and open their senses. Opening one’s senses encourage mindfulness, which readies the heart and mind to be fully present in the natural world.

Now in our mindful state with our senses awakened, we will create a piece of self-expressive art to remind you of this moment in time: with friends, enjoying the natural world.

Nancy DiNicolo, our instructor, will demonstrate and offer suggestions for getting into a creative and playful mind space to make your painting. You will be offered methods for representational, impressionistic, and abstract painting, and you may choose what inspires you.

Crafting Sacred
Objects

As we become increasingly aware of the power of nature to lift our spirits, so, too, are we becoming more conscious of the role that mindfulness can play in sparking our creativity.

These offerings will help you find happiness and inspiration in connecting with nature, and encourages you to attune to the beauty of the natural world as a way of stimulating your creativity.

Sacred Crafting offerings include crafting delicate dreamcatchers; a dainty purse of honesty seed pods; sacred feather wands, river rock wrapping, broom making, Spirit dolls, oracle cards, and much more. Escape to nature to unlock your artistic potential and breathe creativity back into your life.
