An offering bowl is a symbolic tool that can be used to cultivate mindfulness, positivity, well-being, and gratitude. Create your own bowl that can be used in a personal practice, a small group setting, or a creative community ritual. Inspired by the work of Onajide Shabaka, design your bowl with intention and purpose, using surface decoration and decoupage techniques.

Creativity Exploration adult workshops promote the benefits of material exploration and the mind-to-body experience. Studies have shown that 45 minutes of creative activity a day reduces stress and offers mental clarity and relaxation. In addition to producing a sense of well-being, sessions expand participants’ perceptions of forms while increasing brain connectivity through visual and cognitive stimulation. The workshop is led by educator Lark Keeler, a specialist in mindfulness education.

Preregistration Required. Space is Limited.

Creativity Exploration is sponsored by the Maurer Family Foundation.
