Feb 9 | 12:30pm-2:30pm | $15
Join Dani for a bright, community-based offering dedicated to planting seeds of hope and release. Get your hands a little messy and your minds free by writing down hard and soft teachings, mindsets, and future manifestations to bury beneath new propagations so that they too will bloom. Together we will pot a plant you’ll be able to take home and care for as a symbol of a sunny future ahead. Through conversation and hands on building, you’ll gain a positive mindset and shared hope for bright days ahead.
This opportunity to commune in optimism is open to all! All supplies will be provided. Please wear something casual and comfortable that you don’t mind getting a little dirty as needed. Those who attend will have the option to participate in a portrait session as a part of Dani’s AiR final offering, Stories of Loss.
This workshop is eligible for Class Pack redemption!
