Blending fiber arts, reflection, and shared storytelling, the workshop invites participants to slow down, reconnect with nature, and find grounding through creative practice.

Through dialogue and shared experiences, participants will: Explore how art and nature can foster personal resilience and emotional well-being. Build connections within their community. Leave behind a meaningful “nature story.” Discover pathways for engaging with local climate solutions.
