Tend & Flourish is hosting our first “Day Retreat” with the intention of creating a sacred container for deep nourishment and self-care. The speakers and activities have been thoughtfully curated to support all of us through the natural lull this time of year. Embracing the desire to turn inward and flow with the rhythm of nature allows us to find ease within our minds, bodies, and souls. Much like planting the seeds and tending to soil of a garden it is essential that we tend to ourselves to ensure that the flowers will bloom in the spring.

Take a water and color journey this Saturday Soul Sessions with Tipp City artist Liberty Graham.

“Beginning with water as a base layer, color is then added in form of liquid water colors. Adding layer upon layer while allowing the fluidity of the medium to move, blend, or contrast harmoniously. At times, salt is used as an enhancement to the depth of layers in the piece. “ -Liberty

Event Information

The opioid epidemic has left a gaping wound across our community. Thousands of us have lost loved ones to the grip of addiction. The Perseverance Memorial project invites everyone impacted by this crisis to come together to construct a public mosaic by placing upon it tiles in honor of each of our loved ones. By uniting around this symbol of both loss and determination, maybe, together, we can begin to heal.

In April 2018, Jes McMillan pitched at the UpDayton Summit and was awarded one of three prizes to bring this vision to life. 

This Mosaic DIY Art Series is made of three "make and sip" events. All proceeds go towards making this Opioid Memorial project a reality.

Saturday, Jan 12 - DIY Kitchen Trivet - 11am

Each participant will be able to create their own kitchen trivet out of mosaic tile and enjoy a hot cocoa bar and snacks.

All events will take place at the McMillan Gallery, inside Tend and Flourish (1906 Brown Street, Dayton, OH 45409), and will last approximately 2 hours.

Registration is limited to 40 participants per event.
