Reconnect with Natural Creativity

We all start life with curiosity and a desire for adventure, but as we get older we can start to feel disconnected from others, nature, and our true selves. How do we rediscover excitement and adventure in our own lives?

Find Inspiration in Exploration

In this class, I’ll share a process that combines the benefits of nature, mindfulness, and creativity through exploration.

This is the practice that I currently use myself.

"It was an inspiring class, with helpful tips. Loved it and I will come back to it every time when my motivation is down. The most helpful part for me was the reflection, I feel pressured and always in a hurry. Hearing Mimi's questions, the invitation to breath in and out, and to reflect upon those questions is a practice that I will include in my art and nature adventures.”
