May Day, A Celebration of Flowers

Our daylong May Day is an opportunity for  nature-centered creativity and ceremony. It's a time for girls to gather together and to join this beautiful tradition in their own meaningful ways.  

The day will include:

Nature Crafts--Flowers and wreath-making are a May Day tradition. We will explore craft making with flowers and let our imaginations and joy guide us. 

Nature Dance--mindful movement and dance in/with/as Nature. (Note: We will not dance around a Maypole.)

Ceremony--We will co-create a simple ceremony to honor May Day and Mother Nature.

Spontaneous Sacred Play 

 

Taira's background is in multi-modal Expressive Arts Therapy and Education. Her approach is centered on Life Art Process. Each child can explore and experience in their own ways. 

 

Our emphasis is on appreciation for and kinship with place--the specific trees, plants and creatures who are our neighbors. Artistic expressions and ceremony are considered acts of care and reciprocity. ​ 

 

May Day is a program of In Place (new local non-profit) in collaboration with Taira Restar & Emerald Heart Forest School. Scholarships available through In Place.
