SUMMARY:Art in the Garden: Garden-Gathered Light - Gratitude Candle Vessels
DESCRIPTION:Use herbs\, seeds\, and dried garden treasures to make a gratitude-filled table piece.\n\n\nWhat has rooted in you this year? What are you still calling in?\nAs the growing season settles into quiet\, we’ll gather in the greenhouse to honor all the plants that bloomed\, seeded\, and those that continue to offer their textures\, colors\, and stories\, even after a season of growth. \nIn this hands-on workshop\, you’ll create a natural and upcycled table centerpiece by creating your own gratitude candle vessel using dried and suspended botanicals sourced from the garden\, as well as your own intentions\, as a small tabletop archive of this year’s growth. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how plants can anchor our gratitude rituals: how a sprig of rosemary can hold memory\, how marigold petals can evoke protection\, how seeds can symbolize future possibility.\nBy the end\, you’ll have a finished centerpiece and gratitude candle vessel to bring home—an altar of sorts for your table\, filled with the quiet beauty of botanical materials and the warmth of your intention.\n\n\n\nYour Facilitator: Junell Banks\nJunell Banks is a creative visionary from Harlem\, who blends her passions for creative direction\, youth empowerment\, and self-love advocacy. Through her multifaceted initiatives\, she embodies a commitment to inspiring those around her to embrace their authentic selves with creativity and confidence. \n\n\n\nGrounded in the garden\, join us to critically and creatively engage in a diversity of artmaking techniques that open us up to deeper dialogue on place\, our relationships to our lived environments\, ecological concerns\, and contemporary culture. Learn meditative and mindful drawing\, printmaking and sculptural techniques\, scientific observation with plant portraiture\, nature-inspired intuitive artmaking and mixed media exploration\, and other various practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to nurture your relationship to the garden.\n \nImmerse yourself in the learning garden\, greenhouse\, and across Riverbank State Park’s green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants.\n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. \nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org.

SUMMARY:Forest Bathing Winter Solstice
DESCRIPTION:(for adults) \nFrom time immemorial humans have observed the Winter Solstice as a special day on the calendar; the day when the hemispheric pole is at its further point from the Sun.  Cultures around the world mark this auspicious ‘turning towards the light’ with feast and celebration\, and in quiet reflection.  The Winter Solstice will occur on December 21st as the Sun\, having reached its further point from us\, begins its long journey back providing us with a little more of its precious light each day. \nWhat better way to prepare for this important passage than by taking a pause to reflect as you deepen your nature connection with a Forest Bathing walk at the Arboretum.  Limited availability\, so book your place soon at this very special event. \nA few tips from Rich to make your walk more comfortable: \n\nThe walk will last for about 2.5 hours. We will be moving slowly and using our senses to connect with nature so this will not be an athletic walk.\nPlease dress in layers so you can be comfortable with temperature changes.\nIf you wish\, you can bring sunscreen\, bug spray\, and/or water.\nRich will provide small mats to use when sitting.\nThe walk will be postponed in the event of inclement weather.\n\nRich Collins is a Certified Guide for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT)\, based in Morristown & Barnegat Light\, New Jersey.  His company\, Friendly Territory\, specializes in Nature & Forest Therapy walks and retreats. He is a husband\, proud father and grandfather\, entrepreneur\, and daily meditator.   \nMember Price: $25 | Non-Member Price: $35 \nCancellations made more than 48 hours in advance are eligible for a refund minus a 20% administrative fee. If you cancel within 48 hours of the program\, you may reschedule for another date\, but refunds are not available. \nNotice: Due to ongoing construction for the Path for All project\, starting Monday\, August 25\, Arboretum parking will be unavailable Monday through Friday\, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Please use street parking during these hours. Handicap parking will remain available.
