SUMMARY:MORNING Creative Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Images and Words: The Wisdom of Nature \nEvery season holds a sacred rhythm\, both in the natural world and in our own lives. Autumn especially invites us to slow down\, listen deeply\, and notice what is quietly unfolding within and around us. In this gentle\, soul-centered workshop\, we will attune ourselves to the wisdom of the present moment through guided meditation\, reflective journaling\, and a contemplative walk in nature with camera or cell phone in hand. We will practice seeing with new eyes — allowing the landscape to speak\, symbols to emerge\, and quiet truths to reveal themselves through the lens. This is not about technique\, but about presence\, so cell phone cameras are fine. A small journal will be provided\, though you’re welcome to bring your own. No photography experience is needed — just a willingness to pause\, notice\, and receive. \nNote: The same program will be offered in the Morning Session and Afternoon Session as part of this Weekday Workshop event. When registering\, be sure to select/indicate your preferred time slot. \nThis registration page is for the MORNING Session. \nExplore our website for various morning and afternoon workshops offered on this same date.\nGuests may choose from several options and attend a morning workshop\, have lunch in the Dining Room\, and attend an afternoon workshop. Register for each event separately.\nMichelle Lisenbee\, RN\, BSN\, HNB-BC\, LMT is a holistic registered nurse\, a board-certified licensed massage therapist\, and mixed media collage artist from Savage\, MD. She received her bachelor’s degree in Nursing from George Mason University\, her massage training at the Baltimore School of Massage\, and her Board Certification from the American Holistic Nurses Association.
