In this hands-on workshop, you’ll step into the mindful craft of bonsai—a centuries-old practice rooted in patience, presence, and a deep relationship with nature. More than gardening, bonsai is a creative meditation that invites curiosity, calm, and care through the simple act of working with your hands.
You’ll begin with a short introduction to the wellness benefits of bonsai, exploring how shaping and tending to trees can foster creativity, reduce stress, and deepen your connection to the natural world. From there, you’ll select a tree suited to your home environment—so the experience continues long after Nourish.
What to bring: Everything is provided including disposable gloves. Some people like to bring their own gloves though.
