In the fullness of summer, slowing down becomes its own kind of nourishment. Break up your day with a short, guided mindfulness practice you can join from anywhere. Each week will explore a different theme, offering simple tools to reset, recharge and reconnect.

Join us for an outdoor yoga practice designed to help you slow down and arrive more fully in your mind and body. After guided movement and meditation, you’ll be invited to walk the labyrinth, explore the nature loop or rest on your mat before returning to your day. Enjoy this time to connect with yourself and nature.

Discover a fresh way to journal using image-based cards that spark insight and creativity. In this session, you’ll draw a card from a nature-themed deck, explore its imagery and meaning and use it as a prompt for personal reflection. Whether you’re new to journaling or looking to deepen your practice, this class offers a unique opportunity to quiet mental clutter, relate more deeply to nature and connect with your personal intuition within a supportive group environment.

Starting and maintaining a healthier lifestyle is hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. In this free, monthly health coaching group, gain support and strategies to put your health goals into action. Whether you could benefit from shared accountability, learning ways to overcome challenges or getting help navigating next steps, this group is for you. Let’s get healthier together!

Summer can feel wonderfully full and sometimes overwhelming. Through gentle yoga and guided journaling, this session invites you to pause, breathe and return to yourself. Together, we’ll cultivate presence, savor the season and reconnect with what matters most.

No experience needed — come exactly as you are.

Junk journaling is a creative practice using found and recycled materials in combination with art supplies to create a journal or book. Junk journaling can be used as a form of creative expression, to record memories, collect thoughts and ideas and much more. In this workshop, let your creativity shine through the exploration of turning “junk” into art. Materials will be provided but you’re welcome to bring any personal “junk” like old books, photographs, newspapers, fabric scraps, etc., to incorporate into your journal.

Each week, explore a new area of Viles Arboretum to find creative inspiration from the natural world. Writing prompts will be shared as a springboard to nurture the journey of telling your story. Leave behind the need to find the “right” words and allow your own feelings and experiences to guide you. No experience is needed. Please bring water and something to sit on, if desired.

End your week with creativity and community. Join Waterville Creates for a relaxed class designed for beginners and experienced makers alike.
