      Know before you go

      In-person event
      Location: Ropes Mansion Garden, 318 Essex St, Salem, MA

      $10 members; $15 nonmembers. 

      We will be sitting on the ground for a portion of this program. Please feel free to bring a mat, towel or pillow. We recommend bringing sunscreen and a closed container of water.

      If we need to cancel due to inclement weather, we will contact registrants by 9 am on the day of the event.

      Slow down, unplug and awaken your senses on a guided nature immersion in the Ropes Mansion Garden. The program will begin with a facilitated journey through the senses, inviting rest and wandering. Then, explore the colors and shapes you observe in the garden through watercolor "dreamscapes.” All the prompts, ways of sharing and participating are optional and open to interpretation. Art supplies will be provided.
