The Kampong
What will you create with the colors, textures, and patterns of the Kampong gardens in your artist’s palette? Come learn about the rich cultural history of mandalas, and identify plants in the garden while sourcing their stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits to make your own geometric designs. Join nature lovers worldwide in creating earth mandalas as a way to meditate with nature and leave an offering of beauty. We will use low-impact ethical harvesting techniques, and apply ways to reuse the plant materials. Enjoy a dreamy afternoon immersed in this lush tropical garden making beautiful art while having fun learning in community.
