Soul Picnic: A Return to Self

Description: This wellness workshop will consist of a day at LAC to learn about tools for our own personal needs and goals. We will learn about the foundations of wellbeing and healthy living, enjoy the natural environment of LAC and its gallery – then dive into collage to develop our own individual gentle goals for a lovely day and how to take steps towards optimising wellbeing, wherever our starting place. No artistic experience is required – just a desire to maximize joy!
