Natural Creativity - Outdoor programs with the Bavins
Join Pat and Ryan Bavin for some creative inspiration in nature!
Pat is a certified Forest Therapy guide with the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Ryan is a certified Hiking guide with the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. They are both professional artists as well! They are joining forces for some creative fun in and around the natural areas of the Columbia Valley.
We will be exploring Nature for creative inspiration using the fundamentals of Forest Therapy to guide and tap into our intuition. A variety of outdoor exercises will be offered to stimulate the imagination to further develop one’s own artistic practice, regardless of the medium you work in.
BENEFITS
- Inspiration for new designs and ideas.
- Using your imagination to improve creative opportunities and solutions.
