Getting messy with visual arts.
Moving and grooving with music and dance.
Diving deep into your journals, stories, and conversations.
Getting silly with random activities.
Protecting space for some “serious” relaxation.
Playing hard with some big all-camp games.

The day will include a variety of workshops in the morning and afternoon:

Drumming, songwriting, and music jams.
Book and printmaking.
Finger painting and body art.
Foraging and nature mandalas.
Archery and ultimate frisbee.
Nap time with Kora music.

The camp day will also include morning and closing circles, a check-in with a small group, and an invitation to begin the day with meditation, movement, or art. Guest artists will share about their Artful Life, with a chance to reflect on your own journey after hearing their story. On Friday, the camp day is extended for a Burrito Bash potluck.
Louise Omoto Kessel will be your guide for this week, along with an excellent selection of guest artists. Louise is a storyteller and a printmaker, and she loves to felt, collage, and make all manner of things. She is also the founder and director of Clapping Hands Farm and the mother of two young adults.
