EventsGathering // Sketch & Stretch with Corinne Blouin
The Arboretum, Ottawa
July 28 - August 24, 2022
7:00 pm
Relax and express yourself in the beautiful Arboretum
In these expressive and relaxing drop-in sessions, artist Corinne Blouin will lead participants through a visualization meditation that includes gentle movement, stretching and sketching.
There are three Thursday evening sessions: 28 July, 18 August and 24 August
Together, we will connect to our creative energies and spend time outside, while experiencing artmaking as an accessible tool for healthy self-soothing.
This event is free, and everyone is welcome to attend! Please bring a yoga mat, journal or sketchbook and a drawing utensil. Additional supplies will be available.
Access The paths around Dow’s Lake and in the Arboretum are partially wheelchair accessible. We will choose a site close to the path. The movement portion of this workshop is gentle and modifications are available for all physical needs.
Location We will meet at the turning circle beside Dow’s Lake Pavilion. Please email Fiona Wright with any questions.
