Sunday, Oct. 26th, 2025 from 1:00pm-5:00pm (4 hours)

Join us for a gentle and enriching workshop exploring the age-old practice of Loving Kindness (Metta) and how it can nourish both our personal and creative lives. Through guided reflection, participants will discover meaningful Metta phrases that resonate deeply with their own life experiences and intentions.

We’ll bring these insights into form through simple, expressive art-making. Whether you’re drawn to abstract shapes, playful doodles, or heartfelt collage, this process invites you to create from a place of openness and non-judgment. All experience levels are welcome—this is about expression, not perfection.

All supplies will be provided, including paper, markers, colored pencils, and collage materials. You’re also welcome to bring your favorite tools—watercolors, unique mark-making items, or personal collage elements—to make the experience uniquely yours.
