About this Event
Embodied Garden invites participants to slow down, connect with nature, and explore their inner world through creative expression. Each session includes a brief embodiment meditation, gentle check-in, nature-inspired art-making, and optional sharing.
Across the eight weeks, the garden becomes both a setting and a metaphor for exploring themes of grounding, growth, movement, boundaries, protection, change, community, and belonging. Each session introduces a distinct theme while contributing to an overarching exploration of embodiment, connection, and our relationship with the natural world.
As a closed group, participants are invited to attend all eight sessions. The continuity of the series offers opportunities to build trust, develop connections, and reflect more deeply as the sessions unfold.
The group is facilitated by Mahja Kabir, an artist and art therapy trainee who creates gentle, creative spaces that support reflection, care, growth, and connection. Art therapy uses the creative process as a way to explore emotions, experiences, relationships, and self-awareness, with no emphasis on artistic skill or producing a finished artwork.
Wednesdays, October 21 through December 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (eight sessions).
Public $160, TBG Members $120 (plus applicable taxes and fees).
