Artist Betty Rosen invites you to a series of mosaic-making workshops, expressive arts retreats, and community rituals of renewal offered to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires.

Hosted at the Serra Retreat Center in Malibu, as a three-year residency, “This Tender Ground” offers a place to rest, restore, and reimagine together through the healing language of art. No artistic experience necessary. Just an open mind and heart. Lodging, Simple Meals, and all art materials provided.

We are so fortunate to have Community Mosaic Artist, Dawn Mendelson with us on Friday night to showcase her projects as we develop and plant seeds for our own community mosaic project commemorating the Wildfires, our resilience, grief, and reemergence. www.dawnmendelson.com

Saturday night Agape Practitioner Martin Weich will upflit us with his Laughing Yoga practice.

Creativity Stations all through out the weekend for you to enjoy.

Please call Serra Retreat Center to register. I will send out a welcome notification a few days before the Retreat with all the details. Serra Retreat: 310 456 6631

We ask only for a $25 registration to hold your space, protect our time, and insure attendance. If this is a barrier, let us know and we will make other arrangements.
