Connecting with Nature with Andrès Senra
Friday at 4pm - FREE EVENT
Join us for a hands-on, immersive workshop series that blends mindfulness, nature exploration, and creative expression. In this first session, participants will be introduced to the group, build a sense of trust, and begin connecting more deeply with their environment through guided activities.
Together, we’ll practice breathing and listening exercises, take a slow sensory walk to observe the natural world, and reflect through journaling and sketching. The session will also include a collaborative art activity using collected natural materials like leaves, bark, and stones to create texture rubbings and a shared “mood drawing.”
This workshop is designed to support focus, creativity, and well-being while encouraging participants to slow down and engage with their surroundings in meaningful ways. No prior experience or art materials needed, just come ready to explore, reflect, and create.
RSVP for this free experience combining art and nature

Chronicles of Grace: Exploring the Aging Body
Tai Chi Workshop & Closing Reception
Saturday at 5:30pm - FREE EVENT
Join us for the closing reception of Chronicles of Grace: Exploring the Aging Body. This group art exhibition honors and exalts the aging process as one marked by dignity, agency, and beauty. Through an array of mediums such as photography, painting, mixed media, and installation, the featured artists —ranging from ages 40 to 85, represent diverse cultural backgrounds and identities— explore the complexities of aging, addressing topics such as menopause, greying, mortality, and the physical, mental, and emotional changes that accompany age.
As part of the closing reception, visitors will be able to partake in a Tai Chi workshop led by one of the show's featured artists, Aiki. With over 20 years of experience teaching the Chinese martial art, Aiki will guide participants in an activity that imbues practitioners with better balance, flexibility, and a sense of relaxation regardless of where they land in the aging process.
Tai Chi workshop attendees should wear comfortable clothes & shoes. All levels and ages welcome. Chairs will be provided and music will be played throughout the session.
