As summer and wildflowers burst into bloom, and wild berries start to ripen, this workshop invites you to embrace the vitality of early summer. We will start the retreat with a sensory walk and immersion in the redwoods and Arboretum’s flowering and fruiting to explore themes of beauty, growth, and transience.
It’s the perfect time to celebrate life’s metamorphic moments—through your art, words, your senses, and your spirit!
