Love nature and the art? Join Rick's Place for Creative Expression with PeaceLove!
About this Event

Rick's Place is excited to introduce Creative Expression with PeaceLove, a transformative program designed to nurture self-care, introspection, and peace of mind through the arts and nature for children and their parents.

During the month of Thanksgiving, expressing gratitude becomes a powerful way to nurture the good in our lives, much like tending to a garden. Just as a garden thrives with care and attention, the act of giving thanks allows positivity and abundance to grow within us and our communities. Each seed of gratitude we plant—whether it's for our loved ones, personal achievements, or small daily joys—helps cultivate a sense of contentment and connectedness. Symbolically, a garden reminds us that thankfulness requires intention and consistency and that by regularly acknowledging the good around us, we create space for more blessings to flourish. During this season of Thanksgiving, let's take the time to tend to our Gratitude Garden fostering growth and resilience in our hearts and in those around us.

Date: October 12th

Time: 10am - 11:30am

Session Title: Gratitude Garden

This session is suitable for children aged 4 - 14. Parents or trusted adults must be present with the child for the duration of the session. Adults will create alongside the children, working together in the activity to encourage connection and deepen the emotional bond between parent and child.

The program emphasizes that everyone is creative, and participants do not need any prior experience to enjoy the program. All the needed supplies will be provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own retired combat boots for the project if they choose. Snacks and drinks will be available for each participant.

Come and explore the beauty of the arts in a serene outdoor setting, fostering creativity and mindfulness among children. This program is a perfect blend of nature, art, and personal growth, ensuring a memorable and enriching experience for all participants.

This program is free of charge to service members and their families. Registration opens for each session 2 weeks before that session’s start date.
