A slow, grounding creative journey in nature. Participants wander through the forest collecting natural materials — leaves, twigs, stones — to co-create ephemeral mandalas. These earth artworks celebrate impermanence, pattern, and the artistry inherent in all living things. This is land art in its purest form — where nature becomes both canvas and collaborator. Each mandala expresses the moment’s unique harmony, reminding us that art exists everywhere when we slow down enough to see it

Age Restrictions: 12 years and over

Ticket Note: Please note, no picking of live materials. We leave our art behind to wither away with the cycles of nature. Leaving only a trace of art, our hearts in kinship with nature, whilst carrying a moment of co-reaction, reciprocity & harmony of expression. 

Participants to bring a bag or holder for collecting of items, water, sun hat, comfortable walking shoes. 

Please meet at the Conservancy Gate on the Corner of Main and Hill Street, near the dam.
