SUMMARY:Wild Materials: Transforming Found Objects into Art - rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this event has been rescheduled for Saturday\, May 23\, 1:00 – 4:00 PM. \nSticks\, stones\, shells\, seeds\, feathers\, bark\, river glass\, found objects\, fibers\, paint… \nUsing a playful mix of natural materials and unexpected treasures\, we’ll come together to create art. A selection of recycled wooden cigar boxes will be provided for you to choose from and transform. You don’t need to bring anything—however\, you’re welcome to bring small personal objects if you’d like to incorporate them into your piece. \nEach participant will select a cigar box that will become the stage for imagination and playful making. Our instructor\, Lauren J. Silver\, will open the workshop with a brief introduction to her found-object artmaking practice. Together\, we’ll discuss our intentions for the workshop\, then settle into plenty of time to relax\, experiment\, have fun\, and create side by side. \nThis workshop is beginner-friendly\, and no prior art or assemblage experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. \nPlease note: we uphold “Leave No Trace” practices at our preserves\, meaning we take only memories with us. This policy will remain in place during the workshop. We encourage participants to bring found objects from home\, as no materials will be collected from the preserve during the event. \nAbout the instructor: Lauren J. Silver is a Philadelphia-based\, mixed-medium artist and critical childhood studies educator. Her art draws upon found and reclaimed objects and assemblage approaches using fragments\, fibers\, scraps\, gifts from nature\, and discarded objects—mending them into something beautiful and whole. Lauren has been showing her art since 2022 across the Philadelphia region.

SUMMARY:Nature as Healer: A (Grief) Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The people cannot be healed until the land is healed. The land cannot be healed until the people are healed by the land.” – Martin Prechtel\, author \nNature can be a great healer for the heartaches we all experience along our journey. Join Naila Francis\, founder of This Hallowed Wilderness\, for a writing workshop to explore the restorative power of nature (right around Earth Day). \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Hildacy Preserve\, listening to our inner voices\, on this inspiring nature immersion that also invites us into reciprocal relationship with the land and wildlife. \nBring a notebook and a writing instrument for this workshop. (We will also have some available.) \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time beside the flowing Crum Creek\, and quiet reflection. \nYou will be invited to share whatever you wish in a “sacred circle\,” but this is not required. The intent of this event is to bring people together\, whatever their losses and struggles\, and to connect with others and the natural world at their own comfort level. \nAbout our instructor: Naila is a grief coach and death midwife who companions people on their grief journey through multiple spaces and practices\, including meditations in nature and the written word.
