Hands in Sand, Mind at Ease... "Let's Do Nothing Together."

Join us for a gentle, grounding experience where you'll create calming sand tray designs inspired by Zen gardens and mandalas. Using sand, simple tools, and natural objects, you'll have space to shape, rake, arrange, explore, and simply BE.

This workshop is an opportunity to lose track of time and experience the freedom of being delightfully unproductive—no expectations, no pressure, no right way to do it. Just presence, movement, texture, and rest: balm for the nervous system.
The body can settle.
The mind can rest.
Space to BE.

All materials provided.
