We are hosting our first public workshop of Creative First Aid for some time, and it's going to be so lovely! A Winter Dose of Art and Nature is on Sunday Aug 25th. On the edge of the Royal National Park at Bundeena, just south of Sydney, amongst the towering Angophora gums, join MakeShift's Caitlin + Lizzie, and guest artist Sally Ann Conwell for a winter Sunday immersion of art and nature connection. This workshop experience weaves together the five elements of creative first aid: curiosity, safekeeping, self compassion, playfulness, and inch by inch thinking, along with guided nature walking in silence, field note sketching, plein air drawing, painting and art making. We will give you a field notes mini sketchbook plus all the materials, some to take home. Find out more and book your spot at the link in bio. Places are limited! 🍃 Sunday Aug 25th 10am- 2pm 🍃 $125 / $110 student (Afterpay available) 🍃 BYO lunch 🍃 Workshop kit provided https://lnkd.in/gYCW8N5w #creativefirstaid #natureprescription
