A Morning of Intention

Saturday, June 6th | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM 

You’re invited to join us for A Morning of Intention — a thoughtfully curated experience designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit.

Art in the Garden

After check-in, we’ll head outside with Estelle, our nurse educator and health & wellness coach, for a mindful and creative experience. During this spring watercolor session, you’ll be guided to slow down, observe the beauty of nature, and explore simple brushstrokes to create loose, expressive watercolor paintings.

A Healthful Lunch

Next, we’ll join our registered dietitian and trained French chef, Lexie, for an interactive food demo where you’ll learn how to create a delicious, wholesome, nourishing lunch, followed by a chance to relax and socialize in good company while enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Mindful Walk in the Woods

Hannah, our qualified MBSR instructor, will conclude our morning with a forest bathing experience. During this guided stroll, you’ll be invited to slow down and connect with nature in a way that is both soothing and gently invigorating.

In the event of inclement weather we’ll gather indoors.

$60 per person

Registration is required.
