ConsciousCrafting

Botanical Blends last Sunday was the last creative activity as part of the Wildtime Retreat. We worked with wild plants and “weeds” from the grounds surrounding Lisnavagh House and Gardens and created wonderful layered prints using shades of green and blue, exploring textures such as leaves, grasses, stems and tiny flowers.

The process supported a steady, mindful pace, encouraging experimentation while letting go of perfection and allowing the materials to guide the outcome. Everybody remained very engaged throughout, enjoying the simplicity and imperfection of the process.

They all framed one favourite piece that reflected each participant’s exploration, which were taken away as personal keepsake from the retreat.

Create a miniature apothecary cupboard filled with painted bottles, tiny remedies, and symbolic objects for difficult days. This hands-on workshop invites you to slow down and build a small world of care, where each item represents a tip or suggestion to make life just a little easier. Reconnect with the little potion making girl you had forgotten about and combine mental health with fun.
