New Year Family Fun: Create Your Positive Energy Sun Satchel!

This uplifting activity is designed to help you harness the therapeutic benefits of nature and self-care.
What is a Sun Satchel?
A Sun Satchel is a personal symbol of positivity and growth, capturing the essence of the sun’s energy in a pocket-sized bag. From a sunny windowsill or front stoop to your car’s dashboard, this satchel can serve as a reminder to nurture your goals and affirmations. Writing down a goal or positive affirmation and carrying it in your Sun Satchel can spark creativity, rejuvenate motivation and bring renewed focus to your journey.
What You’ll Gain:
-Cognitive Growth: Practice sequential steps, explore positive affirmations, and set heal goals for your present and future.
-Physical Wellness: Enjoy light movement, breathe fresh air, and boost your mood with beautiful natural surroundings.
-Emotional Balance: Create a self-care strategy and build coping skills to counter self-defeating thoughts.
-Sensory Stimulation: Uplift your spirit with nature-inspired sensory engagement.
-Social Connection: Craft an emotional regulation tool and share this journey with like-minded participants.
Let’s welcome clarity, positivity, and connection with activity that feeds the mind, body, and soul. This activity invites participants of all ages and experience levels to connect with nature in a meaningful way. You’ll not only create a beautiful, uplifting sun satchel but also take home tools to enhance your well-being and mental clarity.
Don’t miss this chance to welcome positivity, connection, and creativity into your life. Reserve your spot today and step into the sunlight of self-discovery!
Please note: This activity is on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last. Arrive early to ensure your spot and join us in creating your Positive Energy Sun Satchel!

EXPLORE THE MARKET | While you're at Vizcaya Village, take some time to wander the Farmers Market and chat with local farmers and vendors. The market is open from 9am to 2pm every Sunday.
LOCATION | This activity takes place exclusively at Vizcaya Village, the estate’s historic farm village, and does not include access to the east side of the property where the Main House and gardens are located.
VIZCAYA FAMILY PROGRAMS | This series is designed to create opportunities for intergenerational interactions among families with young children (ages 6-12). As such, orders that do not include a child ticket may be canceled.
To promote inclusion for all, Vizcaya ensures that all community programs, after-hour and weekend events for locals, feature activities that are physically accessible to all visitors. While not all areas of the estate are wheelchair accessible, community programs are purposefully located in areas without stairs or that can be accessed via a ramp.
