Create a set of small visual reminders of the need to slow down and be present in your life.

Zen gardens emphasize the principles of naturalness (Shizen), simplicity (Kanso), and austerity (Koko). To make a mini version you will decorate a small tin filled with sand and assemble a tiny rake. Choose a few small shells and rocks or include your own natural objects. For the mandalas, paint repetitive lines and shapes on a smooth stone. True mandalas incorporate ancient spiritual symbols, but our version will allow you to focus your attention on the pattern and process that will help guide you to a relaxed state of mind.

Open to all ages if accompanied by an adult.
