This program is designed to respond to the human experience of grief and loss through the healing power of nature and of creative expression. Community members of all ages will be guided through soulful self-reflections, vehicles for creative expression, and tender encounters with the natural world and with one another. Mosaic artist, Laura Jean McLaughlin, will guide participants in the collective creation of a community mosaic mural, gathering shattered pieces together to tell a story of community healing and resilience.
