We are thrilled to bring back to Denicola Park this summer.

Our friends at will be joining us for a DOUBLE the fun workshop exploring summer plants that cool and color 🎨

Make new connections to common plants that can offer relief from the summer heat as well as creative practice through pigment.

Explore plants that help us take care of ourselves in the heat while making a cooling face mist to take home and use. We will also slow down and create a moment for ourselves through exploring color from some common plants and creating our own simple 'paints' to use in creative practice.

This event is FREE thanks to generous gift to EGH from individuals just like you - Donations welcomed.

RSVP required. Visit our website or linktr.ee for the Eventbrite link to register for this fun, healing workshop.
