Zen Gardens

Thursday, August 3, 3:00pm - 3:45pm

Everyone wishes they had their own personal toolkit when the world is stressing them out. This program can help make that a reality with your own take-home Zen garden. Meant as a meditative tool, Zen gardens are a deeply personal experience. In this program, we'll teach you more about the practice. Then give you the tools to create your own Zen garden to help you meditate and wipe away the stresses of the day! No registration required.
