This year Artpark and The Plant Shack  are pleased to welcome Grandmother Marie Jones - (Mohawk) who will share the teachings of the Forth Sister, the Sunflower and offer her space in the Native American Peace Garden.   

Listening and exchanging with the earth at the Peace Garden, we will offer gratitude and fuel her with nurturing vibrations with songs for a healthy season and welcome the fourth sister, the Sunflowers to our garden.  Guests will explore alignments with natural rhythms and patterns of the garden and rekindle our connections to the natural world.

Followed by the interactive “Re-enegize" circle with Artpark's Indigenous art produce, Michele-Elise Burnett and Director of Artpark's Bridges program Cynthia Pegado. In this mindful movement class, participants will focus on connecting their mind, body and spirit with the landscape and becoming one with the Natural World.  Mindful movement class is designed to bring awareness to self and movement in space, centring and grounding the body to the Mother the Earth.
