In this 6-week interactive online course

we will explore the later chapters of life through the rich metaphor of weaving. Each week we will reflect on the threads that have shaped us - relationships, losses, resilience, creativity, and legacy - drawing from Buddhist wisdom, contemporary psychology. and creative expression.

Through guided reflection, discussion, meditation, and at-home creative assignments, participants will deepen meaning, connection, and self-understanding.

Between sessions, we will use a private Padlet app space to share images of our creative work, offer encouragement, and exchange resources.

No artistic experience required

      This course is 12 hours in total. This can be offered in weekly sessions, half-days or full days depending upon your organizational needs.

    Each session offers participants mindfulness-based nature connection practices that can be integrated into daily life. The sessions build upon one another so the sessions are offered as a set rather than individually. Though useful for all, the practices may be particularly helpful for those whose lives are inherently stressful. For health care workers and first responders cultivation of skills such as sensory awareness, embodied presence, and positive emotional states can support the management of stress, anxiety, and overall well-being more effectively of both provider and those they serve alike.

  • Why take this course?

    In the storms of our lives we need refuge, nourishment and support- a place to replenish our tired bodies and troubled hearts. In this course we will explore tapping into the stillness and dynamism of the natural world which surrounds us and teaches us. As we integrate stillness and movement, we move toward being active participants in the world while maintaining balance and ease in our hearts and minds. We reawaken awareness, the beautiful, hidden jewel that is innate in each of us.
