Girls Art, Yoga & Nature Camp - A Great Success!



The girls and I had a wonderfully inspiring week creating art, exploring nature & discovering yoga!
Their final art show was awesome!
I look forward to more of these experiences and I thank the girls for spending a week of their summer with me.

ONE WEEK UNTIL Girls Art & Yoga in Nature - STILL SPACE AVAILABLE!!!

a week of exploration and inspiration for girls ages 9-12

Instructor: Raina McDonald
Dates: Mon-Fri, 9am-12pm August 10-14
Location: Raina's studio, 3228 Hwy #4 Saltsprings (beside Irons Forge Blacksmithing Shop)
Cost: $115 (all materials included)

Space limited to 8 girls
Contact Raina with questions or to register: 754-0606, raina.mcdonald@gmail.com

Art making, nature exploring and yoga will be woven together in a weeklong experience of creativity and healthy living. This week will encourage girls to relate to themselves, others and nature in a grounded and positive way. Each morning will begin with a yoga session followed by a trail walk. Upon gathering inspiration from the surrounding nature we will return to the studio to create art. A new project will be introduced each day as we playfully investigate drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. There will be an art exhibit of the girl’s work on Friday at 11:30am. Parents, siblings and friends are all invited to view the week’s creations.

Spring Refresher

My experience at the yoga conference in Toronto was most inspiring!...Meeting with like-minded people to exchange, share, learn, breathe and be. Ahhh, refreshing after a long Nova Scotia winter!

I look forward to resuming my yoga classes at the beginning of May. I will post my May/June schedule shortly.
