Let's Talk:
Complex Trauma & Suicide
Join us at a circle gathering where we learn about complex-post traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), inherited and multigenerational trauma, and the impacts it has on the mind and body.
Listen and share with others who are on a similar path and learn how to find the right tools to help you build resiliency on your cycle-breaking journey.
Art Skills Workshops
We will discuss a range of media and skills including acrylics, watercolor, gouache, brushes and mixing mediums, clay and paper, etc.
But when it comes to art, it's not about following any rules. It's about being creative.
Art therapy is about letting go of any rules, pre-conceived ideas, or expectations of yourself and allowing your mind to enter into play - an important somatic exercise that helps regulate your nervous system in a number of ways.
Beach Combing Shadowbox Workshops
You don't need canvas, paint or brushes to be creative. Art is more accessible than you think!
Join Moonstate for a stroll on the beach to see what goodies nature has left for us and then head inside to create a purely Nova Scotian, one-of-a-kind piece of artwork.
Plein Air Painting Workshops
You don't need to be stuck inside to paint, you can go anywhere you want!
Let's discuss the different painting options and tools you may want when painting outside. Then go for a stroll in nature before finding a spot to relax and let what you see inspire the colours on your palette.
Adventuring for Beginners Workshops
From birding to backpacking.
Interested in getting outside but not sure what you need or where to start?
Or maybe you suffer with chronic pain or other health challenges, and you think it's beyond your capabilities?
Join Moonstate in discussing all things outdoors and managing chronic pain on the trail.
Seasonal Foraging Workshops
Join Moonstate in learning about all of the goodies we have around us that not only help us offset our grocery bills and provide medicine, but also craft supplies!
Learn about bayberries and how to make natural hand-dipped bayberry candles, and how to use them for ceremonial purposes; and about dockseed and how to use it to make gluten free flour.
