Let's spend the day being mindful in nature.

**Don't worry if you do not see many RSVPs here. Most participants register through the [website](https://www.moirestevenson.com/event-details/oka2024).**

The event will centre around creativity and art in nature. We will explore how creativity contributes to well-being, leading to more flexible thinking. We will also mindfully make art with what we find in nature, allowing us to connect to nature in a new and meaningful way.

We will send you information on what to bring the week before the event. Please plan to pack your own lunch and water and anything else you might need for a day outside.

\*\*\*Transportation and park entry passes are NOT included in the ticket price. Please organize your needs accordingly.\*\*\*
[You can purchase your Daily Access Pass for the park here ](https://www.sepaq.com/en/reservation/purchase/daily-access)(passes are available 1 month prior to the event).

**Why are the monthly retreats paid?**
There are many costs related to running a retreat. Your payment pays for: the time spent on logistics involved in organizing the retreat and the preparation of the material and activities we do on the retreat. In addition, at the retreats, I provide small group and one-on-one guidance tailored to the participants. At the retreats, we really focus on what matters to you and the areas in your life you wish to change or reprioritize.
