Join Hildur Palsdottir for an evening of nature-based mindfulness and meditation on the first Thursday of every month. Classes will be held in the beautiful rooms of the Preserve’s mansions, or in the Hempstead House Garden when weather permits.
With these sessions we will explore techniques specifically aimed at stress reduction. With kind curiosity Hildur adapts ancient Buddhist teachings to modern applications for calming the mind. Meditation practice helps us become aware of our thoughts and better manage our moods. With transformative practices you will access wisdom and clarity to live a more compassionate life. Regular meditation practice can improve attention and focus and supports a better outlook on life. In addition to facilitating these monthly groups, Hildur will offer support with establishing a home meditation practice. No feeling is final. Join us in becoming one with the flow of experience.
Chairs will be provided, but guests are welcome to bring a meditation cushion, pillow or mat.

Join Artist Lori Lee as she leads a Plein Air Painting workshop at the preserve this spring. Connect to the natural beauty and grandeur of the grounds, painting on site in the open air. This program is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced painters. We will focus on executing dynamic compositions that capture a moment in time while experiencing immersion in nature. In the case of inclement weather, class will take place in our learning studio using indirect techniques from previously procured reference materials.&nbsp;
Plein Air Painting Classes are open to adult students aged 18 and up. Supplies are not included. A suggested supply list will be forwarded upon class registration. Students may choose their own medium (oils, acrylics, watercolor, gouache, pastel, charcoal, pen/ink or digital) but lectures will focus on traditional oil painting techniques, many of which can be adapted for acrylics.
