Activities 115

Join Community Artist Michelle McQuinn for a mindful and creative workshop responding to climate change: Pause – reflect – create – nourish – act.This art session is part of our Great Big Green Week celebration in Kingsbridge.M﻿ichelle will guide us through some simple meditation practices and invite us to explore our creativity with a variety of mediums, reflecting on our own responses to climate change and a greener future for our town and planet. C﻿limate change can provoke many reactions and uneasy emotions within us, as well as compassion and hopefulness for the future. This session will help us to unravel some of these thoughts and responses through art. The session will feel very free and exploratory and no artistic experience is necessary. T﻿here will be opportunities throughout the session for simply resting in the present moment - a much needed antidote to the urgency, despair and tendency to project into the future that we often experience when we think about climate change. A﻿s we collectively take action to tackle the challenges ahead, it is vital that we also take time to slow down, pause, reflect and ensure we are tending to our inner worlds as well as our outer world.C﻿ost:T﻿he session is free to attend and has been funded by Kingsbridge Climate Action through the generous support of our donors.D﻿onations on the day are welcome.A﻿ge: Suitable for 14+A﻿bout Michelle:M﻿ichelle McQuinn is an experienced community artist, mindfulness meditation teacher and climate activist.
