Explore the ancient art of Botanical paper making!
Join local artist Payton Hurley as she guides us through the ancient art of paper making using the traditional western approach. Embellish your handmade paper with flower petals and transform banana leaf pulp into a work of art. Discover the therapeutic nature of this traditional craft as you relax and connect with the moment.
During this hands-on, beginner friendly workshop, we will adorn our paper with botanicals and herbs to create a sort of talisman that holds our own intuitive magic in alignment with the season. The botanical elements for this workshop are chosen based on their spiritual meaning and symbolism. With Mabon, or the Autumn Equinox, falling on September 22nd, this is a perfect time to welcome the harvest and give thanks for the abundance of the Earth.

WHY THE FALL EQUINOX?
The Fall Equinox is a sacred pause, a moment of balance between light and dark. In many traditions, it’s a time to reflect, harvest your personal growth, and prepare for a slower, more introspective season. Yoga, meditation, and flower arranging are powerful rituals to embody this energy and celebrate your connection to nature.
