REMEMBRANCE DAY FOR LOST SPECIES 2021

The global Remembrance Day for Lost Species has taken place for over a decade on November 30th.

Do you feel the uncomfortable heart-felt sensations for species extinction and the pain of our world? This event invites you to participate in a 're-connecting with nature' eco-art practice, create an artwork for an online gallery, and join in an event to come together as a collective, transition feelings, and share our creative expression and reflections.

You do not have to be an artist! It can be an advantage not to be!!!

This experience contains 3 parts:

Participants may choose to engage in a self-guided ecopsychology practice and eco-art creative expression component to create their 'artwork.'
Share an image or 2 (per participant) of your creative expression and a short reflection of your experience. You will be provided more details on booking.
Join the optional online Gathering on Tuesday 30th, 2021 10-11:30am or 7-8.30pm (AEST-Melbourne Australia time. Click time am or pm to see which time suits you depending on where in the world you live.)

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

YOU WILL RECEIVE CONFIRMATION EMAIL WITH THE WEBSITE LINK DETAILS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE EXPERIENCE (PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM. IF DON'T RECEIVE IT AFTER BOOKING CONTACT greensong.info@gmail.com)

Please set aside at least an hour unhurried outdoors to fully engage in the NSTP practice.
