April Workshops & Walks!

March 31, 2022 – 7:03 pm

Signs of spring are popping out all over the woods, so it’s a great time for a Forest Bathing walk! Come join us this Saturday afternoon at 1pm to slow down and unwind while enjoying the peaceful beauty of Beaman Park. The weather looks great; just email beamanpark@nashville.gov to register.

Hope you can join me on April 9 for Art Inspired by Nature! First we’ll stimulate creativity on a slow and relaxing guided walk through Judge Fulton Greer Park; then we’ll move inside to the Franklin Recreation Center and explore open-ended approaches to painting. For more details or to register, visit: https://apm.activecommunities.com/wcpr/Activity_Search/art-inspired-by-nature/17492

I’ll be back at the Franklin Recreation Center on April 30 for The Secret Side of Books! We’ll make easy structures with pages that change shape or appear and disappear as if by magic. You can learn more and sign up here: https://apm.activecommunities.com/wcpr/Activity_Search/secret-side-of-books/17491
