Using Art for Contemplative Meditation and Inspiration
Join instructor Michael Franklin for a unique experience exploring the intersection of art and mindfulness. Through guided sessions, we will delve into how art can be a tool for contemplation and inner reflection. Paintings created by artist participants in the 2024 Boulder County Plein Air Festival will surround you and provide inspiration. The workshop will also utilize writing as part of the practice. Limited to 25 participants, 18 and older.
