Natural Connections Project

Picture
13th and 14th March 2021
A weekend workshop offering a mix of
Inspirational speakers, mindfulness meditation and creative expression through Ephemeral Art.

Natural Connections aims to restore a love for the earth and humanity by inviting us to get intimate with nature in the gardens of the Drolkar Buddhist Centre, Paraparap
Funded by ​the Surfcoast Shire's Arts Development Seed Fund Program

This project has been developed in response to the 'declaration of a Climate Emergency' by the Surfcoast Shire.
Our aim is to support members of our community in the development of inner peace and to learn how to re-sensitise our relationship with the planet.

Our program will offer ways to cultivate a connection with nature and promote greater emotional wellbeing as we face the difficult reality of climate change.
Our speakers will each explore different perspectives;
  • the indigenous connection to the land
  • psychological resilience 
  • living sustainably
  • discussions with teenagers
All in collaboration with guidance in mindfulness meditation and ephemeral art.
We are fortunate enough to be able to offer this workshop at a subsidised rate owing to the support of the Surfcoast Shire's Arts Development Seed Fund.

The gardens at the Drolkar Buddhist center are varied and extensive, suitable for a myriad of ideas when it comes to ephemeral art, whether they are compact or grand in scale. A peaceful location to immerse youself and enjoy the creative experience.
In preparation for these workshops, I spent a few weeks on site creating the 'Under Story' a piece which imagines tree roots as visible, connecting and nurturing each other. The journey of creation has been documented by videographer Rebecca Hosking.
​Here are a few snap shots taken by Rebecca of the work in progress.
