This new experience begins with a nature walkalong the North McCoy trail. With a bit of guidance, participants will observe the marsh with an artist’s eye and ear. At the trail's end, with the use of a singing bowl, Camille will lead a guided meditation to find stillness and a sense of relaxation. Then, while taking inspiration from the varying colors around them, participants will paint with watercolors to capture the beautifully preserved habitat. By the end of this experience, we hope participants paint without self-judgment and feel an interconnectedness with nature.
Space is limited to 4-5 participants. Please call the front desk well in advance to reserve your spot at 619-575-3613 or reserve in-person. If you need to leave a message, please include the spelling of your name, the date you are reserving, the size of your group, and your phone number.
