Focus on the shape, color, symmetry and texture of plants as you access a meditative state with your body. Sufia Ikbal-Doucet (they/them), herbalist & sovereignty doula, will guide participants to a state of deeper presence through creating botanical mandalas. Find a place of relaxation, improvisation and creativity as you deepen your practice of being with the potent ephemerality of plant beauty. This is one of three workshops in the series: Cultivating Mindfulness Through Plant Relationships, exploring creativity, deep presence, and deliberate beauty with plants. Register separately for each one. Look for additional programs on October 5 and October 26.
