Finding Identity in Nature: An Eco Art Workshop

Engage in creative activities using natural elements and discover tools for connecting with yourself and nature. In this mindfulness journey led by art therapist Farrell Elliott, immerse yourself in the outdoors as you use natural materials to explore your everyday life, roles and experiences. You will start to explore your own personal journey, self expression and identity and how to connect it to the natural world around you. Art activities provided will be tools for you to use now and beyond the workshop. Please bring a journal and pen and dress weather appropriately, we will be outside.

About the instructor: Hello fellow nature lovers! My name is Farrell Elliott (they/them). When I’m not facilitating transformative art experiences, you can often find me immersed in nature, whether it’s out on the water or atop a majestic mountain. At home, I cherish moments spent in the garden or engaging in joyful baking adventures with my children. Exploring unconventional materials in my art practice liberates me from perfectionism and allows me to focus entirely on the creative process, embracing the beauty of imperfection. The soothing presence of nature, from the rhythmic waves and whispering winds to the diverse textures it offers, deeply influences my work.
