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.

Into Stillness: A Sound Bath Experience
with Brenda Colfer
Take a step back from the busyness of life and lean into stillness during this restorative sound immersion. Guided by the gentle resonance of crystal singing bowls, Native American flutes and other soothing sound tools, this experience invites the body to relax, the mind to quiet and the nervous system to settle. You will rest comfortably on a yoga mat, allowing stillness to support whatever you need most — rest, clarity or simply a peaceful pause.
Yoga mats will be provided. Please bring any cushions, pillows or props that will help support your comfort during this hour-long meditation.
