Immerse yourself in the IMT Gallery space, subtly infused with Yarrow, earthy and balancing. A curated selection of plants will be available for drawing, accompanied by prompts and guidance on the techniques of plant gazing and observation.
In this two hour workshop we will explore the mysteries of plants through drawing, painting, and meditative observations, we will go beyond the confines of the ordinary.
Take a moment to reconnect to our bodies and the living world through a serene tea ceremony, grounding ourselves in the present moment. We will look at Salvias - sharpens the mind, has anti-inflammatory properties and is ceremoniously used to purify space.
