The Plan
10:00 - 10:30 am: Meet at the Welcome Centre at the main entrance for Mount Saint Bruno.
10:30 am: Discussion on creativity and mindfulness. We will explore how being creative leads to more flexible thinking, mindfulness, and wellbeing.
11:00: Mindful hiking and photography: as we hike, we will focus on what we see and capture the details through mindful photography.
12:00 - 1:00 pm: Lunch and mindful eating practice. We will take some time to connect with each other and our lunches through mindful connection and mindful eating practice.
1:00 pm: Making Land Art.
We will connect with materials we find in nature and create art and sculptures with what we find. I will guide you on connecting mindfully with your materials and observing your thought processes as you create. We will then photograph (with our phones or cameras) what we have made.
This is a deep mindfulness practice that does not disappoint!
1:30 pm: Discussion on incorporating creative and mindful practices into your day-to-day life.
