Warm Hearts on a Winter Day: A Tinsmithing Retreat (in-person)

Explore the traditional art of tinsmithing by creating a decorative tin heart – a symbol of love, unity and resilience – during this hands-on workshop that includes meaningful conversation and community-building. As we cut, hammer, shape and design our hearts from tin, we’ll reflect on themes of peace, joy and compassion. We’ll explore how the act of creating with our hands can open our hearts to the divine and strengthen our bonds with one another. No prior tin working experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.
