Stretch & Sketch

Unwind your mind and spark your creativity with an open, accessible evening of movement and art by the shore. Join Trish Reyburn of Blissworks Yoga and artist Kristine Holohan from the Pattagansett Art Center for a unique collaborative experience. Set against the beautiful, historic backdrop of Harkness Memorial State Park, this event is designed entirely around personal well-being, relaxation, and self-expression.Absolutely no prior yoga or drawing experience is needed. Every age, body, and ability level is welcome. Youth under 17 need to be accompanied by a guardian.

• First Half (6:00 PM - 7:00 PM) • Gentle Yoga & Stretch: Trish Reyburn will guide you through slow, restorative stretches to melt away daily tension. Poses can easily be adapted to your comfort level—whether you prefer to practice standing, sitting, or resting on a mat.
• Second Half (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM) • Guided Sketching: Kristine Holohan will lead a playful, pressure-free drawing session. You will learn to sketch the beautiful coastal surroundings, historic gardens, and stunning grounds of the park. The focus is entirely on the joy of creating, not on making a "perfect" masterpiece.
