Do you love creative expression? Please join us for Create with Courage, a fundraiser where participants can express their creativity through a variety of nature inspired activities including crafting, forest bathing and more! It will be held on Sunday, November 5th from 1-4pm at Holbrook Hollows park in Bainbridge Township.
This is sure to be a FUN fundraiser, surrounded by natural beauty, and meant for the whole family!
As preventing caregiver burnout is at the heart of our mission, Create with Courage will support participants in exploring the benefits of creative expression to mental health and wellness. Expressing oneself through creative and artistic activities can help to relieve stress and anxiety among many other benefits!
Participants can express their creativity in a variety of ways, including painting, paper projects and card making, wood and mason jar crafts, as well as creations with dried flowers. They will come away with nature inspired, giftable items that represent their journey through a variety of creative expression activities.
Everyone has the capacity to create, and a gift made by hand comes truly from the heart!
Advanced reservations are required - and limited! The minimum donation for this event is $25, materials fees are additional. Please RSVP using this form no later than Wednesday, November 1. Fun-filled afternoon with lots of crafting and light snacks.
Out of town (we’ll miss creating with you) - no problem! Shipping and handling will be invoiced after we ship out your materials and instructions!
Your gift will help prevent caregiver burnout and give caregivers the tools they need to better cope and manage the stress of caregiving!
Forest Bathing will also be offered throughout the event. Forest Therapy, also known as Forest Bathing is a guided immersion into nature that invites you to connect with the environment through all of your senses. The practice focuses on the many health benefits of interacting with nature, being present 'in the moment' while immersing your senses in the sights and sounds of a natural setting — no actual bathing required! A forest bath offers you the opportunity to slow down and connect deeply with the world around you, in a way that many of us have forgotten since our childhood years of curiosity. We will offer a shortened version of a forest therapy walk so that participants may have a taste of the experience with an invitation to take home and practice on their own.
