About this Event
Late fall and the waxing crescent moon invite us into a season of fullness — holidays, meals, gatherings, and preparations for winter. We naturally begin to fill our tables, calendars, homes, and lives.
But plants in nature teach us something different.
Leaves change and fall. Seeds are preserved. Growth slows. Plants conserve what they need to survive the winter.
Not everything comes with us.
Nature prioritizes.
In Harvest + Discern, we’ll create an artistic fall centerpiece while contemplating how we choose what deserves our attention, energy, and space. Using a thoughtful selection of flowers and foliage, we’ll explore how repetition, placement, proportion, and negative space can create greater artistic impact.
Discernment isn’t about having less.
It’s about knowing what deserves more.

☾ BEGINNER FRIENDLY GENTLE INSTRUCTION:

☾ SACRED PAUSE FOR REFLECTION:
Before we arrange, we’ll take a quiet pause to consider the season of gathering we’re entering and what we’re choosing to carry forward.
Throughout the experience, you’ll be invited to reflect on:
– What deserves my attention?
– What is worth carrying forward?
– What might become more powerful if I stop adding?

After completing your arrangement, you’ll have your artist portrait and centerpiece captured as a memento.
