About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

How many of you want to get crafty while basking outdoors in the sunshine? This workshop is unlike any other! ​Altars are commonly associated with religious offerings or rituals. However, whether you're religious or not, we often spend more time admiring others than honoring who we are today. Building an altar is a powerful way to express and reflect on your personal values, beliefs, and significant life experiences. It’s a sacred space that illuminates our needs, desires, and the changes we want to manifest in our lives.

What you can expect:
We’ll start with a nature meditation, then head off on a crafty adventure that includes collecting things that spark our curiosity. Expect a creative journey where we’ll paint, build, write poetry, and ultimately create personal altars. Trust me, you'll be surprised at the end! 🌱

What's included:

  • All workshop equipment/ art supplies! No experience is needed, just bring your energy!
  • We will provide blankets + pillows - though feel free to bring your own thing to sit on
  • Tea, biscuits, pastries and fresh fruit to keep us satisfied along the way
  • A sense of gratitude and playfulness
  • New friendships that are met with transparency and authenticity

Where: This in-person event will be held in Tiergarten ( the exact coordinates will be announced closer to date)

​So come join us for a playful afternoon in nature! <3
