Join us for a special Creative Mindfulness Workshop with Marga Fripp, Seeds of Becoming, exploring what is quietly stirring within you.
We’ll engage with creativity, poetry, and therapeutic art-making for Healing, Exploration, Awakening, Renewal, and Transformation. We gather in community to offer our hearts a sacred sanctuary for wholeness, healing, and well-being.
The session includes collage art-making, mindfulness, poetry, journaling, reflection, and compassionate connection. The creative process supports emotional processing and helps reduce stress, gently work with grief and emotional trauma, and cultivate joy, gratitude, meaning, and a sense of belonging.
Cultivate joy, creativity and compassionate connection with this guided Creative Mindfulness Workshop led by Marga Fripp, a trauma-informed healing arts practitioner of The Pollinators Foundation. Participants can discover their own flow and inner stillness, release stress, calm anxiety, and reduce burnout while cultivating compassion, connection, and authentic joy.
No art skills are needed to participate. All materials provided.
Free of charge. For adults. Registration required. Contact Mason at 828-356-2507 or mason.vanderlugt@haywoodcountync.gov to register.
