Finding Joy: Plant Meditation and Sculpture

In this accessible workshop, participants use sculpture and plant wisdom as pathways to self-discovery.  Led by sculptor and certified mindfulness instructor Meg Stein (CFP, MFA), this workshop invites participants to engage in hands-on clay sculpting while practicing embodied meditation, fostering deeper self-connection and artistic expression. The meditation will incorporate information and metaphorical wisdom from a plant in Duke Gardens. All skill levels are welcome. Participants are invited to attend just as they are; there is no need to know anything about mindfulness or sculpture (or plants!) in order to benefit from the exercises in this workshop.

Fee: $44; 20% discount for Duke Gardens members with discount code.

Parking: Parking fees apply.

Location: Pelham-Cullen Classroom inside the Barnes Welcome Center.

Accessibility: This program takes place partially seated indoors and partially outdoors, traveling on a combination of paved and unpaved paths with some uneven surfaces and moderate inclines. The indoor location is equipped with a hearing loop, which transmits sound directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants with a T-coil setting. Accessible restrooms are available onsite.
