SUMMARY:Summer SOLSTICE: Healing Power of Trees
DESCRIPTION:Just the presence of trees growing around us is known to improve our mental well-being. Trees provide a connection to the natural world\, which we are increasingly devoid of nowadays.

We’ll learn about trees’ kinship with humanity\, how we can work with them as sources of medicine and other useful products\, while still living side-by-side with them as neighbors. Because life is better with trees. \nCheck-in at Story Chapel. \nCapacity: 25 people per walk \nREGISTER HERE>>\n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.

SUMMARY:Summer SOLSTICE: Community Nature Mandala
DESCRIPTION:Registration not required. Visit Asa Gray Garden to participate any time between 10:00am-5:00pm. \nJoin artist Elisabeth Gerald as she guides the Mount Auburn community and all Summer SOLSTICE participants in a healing Nature Mandala made from natural objects found at the Cemetery. \nAlso known as Land Art or Environmental Art\, Earth Art is made from organic materials found in nature like stones\, branches\, leaves\, flowers\, feathers\, pinecones\, etc. Creating a Nature Mandala (aka an Earth Art Mandala) is a meditative and often collaborative practice intended to connect you to the environment. \nMandalas\, meaning “circle” in Sanskrit\, are Buddhist devotional images that represent wholeness and are seen as a symbol for infinite connection signifying the transformation from suffering into joy. We hope that creating this Nature Mandala is a unifying and healing experience for all who participate and that it will awaken your imagination and appreciation for the natural world. \nREGISTER HERE>>\n… \nExperience a deeper connection to Mount Auburn Cemetery with free or discounted access to all our public programs and special events by joining the Friends of Mount Auburn.
