Veterans and current and prior military and their family members are invited to attend this nature based visual art workshop.
The day will start with a nature hike, then attendees will participate in the creation of a collective mandala by utilizing natural elements found in the park’s environment. Employing biodegradable materials ensures seamless integration of the artwork with the surrounding landscape. Participants are encouraged to bring short sticks, rocks, and flower petals (excluding seeds).
