Although the meaning of self-care can vary across different contexts, it is generally recognized as acts or gestures that aim to maintain and promote an individual’s health for themselves or their community. Whether wanting to support our spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical health, there are always ways in which we seek to take care of ourselves and each other; giving and receiving this care, however, is made difficult by the constraints and tensions we face in our daily lives.
Join us at Palmisano Park for an engaging day of food experiments and art creation! Learn about different methods of preparing and extracting dye from colorful fruits and vegetables! Experiment with making plant-based dyes and use them to create beautiful paintings while engaging in mindfulness and reflection. Together, we will learn about the science of self-care, explore ways to meaningfully engage in self-care practices, and create beautiful art! The activities we will deliver are open to all ages and the program will include…
- Dye Extraction Workshop
- Art Creation Session
- Mindfulness and Reflection Activity
Restrooms in the Field house will be open and available for participants. Light ‘brain healthy’ snacks will be also be available!
