About this Event

Join us for this wonderful series of monthly classes designed to teach the art of creating mindfully! Each month we will focus on a different and unique creative element and will tie in mindfulness techniques. This is also a wonderful opportunity to meet noble friends in the community. Each class will start with a 15 min discussion on mindful creation and a 5 minute meditation. Class size is limited and fills up fast, so buy your tickets now!

Each fine craft is unique and will result in a beautiful handcrafted piece for you to take home!
