With the heart shape serving as a universal symbol of compassion\, care\, and emotional truth\, each collage becomes a mirror of how you carry\, offer\, and witness kindness in the world. In this workshop\, you will begin by tracing or freehand-drawing a large heart shape\, a heart that becomes the container for your reflections\, followed by incorporating a range of mixed media\, such as gentle hues\, handwritten affirmations\, meaningful textures\, and soft materials\, as you build your piece. You will come away with a uniquely layered piece that is emotionally resonant\, tactile\, and deeply personal. \nCost:  $50 \n*Please RSVP with the Book Online button below!* \n\n\nAdd to calendar \n \n\nGoogle Calendar\niCalendar\nOutlook 365\nOutlook Live\n\n\nBook Online URL:https://monthavenarts.org/event/healing-arts-workshop-ripples-of-kindness-art-as-a-gentle-o%ef%ac%80ering-with-lisa-jennings/ LOCATION:Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center\, 1017 Antebellum Circle\, Hendersonville\, 37075\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://monthavenarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Nov-Kindness-HA-Wksp.png ORGANIZER;CN="Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center":MAILTO:admin@themacctn.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251115T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251115T200000 DTSTAMP:20251114T020618Z CREATED:20251114T020618Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251114T020618Z UID:15291-1763229600-1763236800@monthavenarts.org SUMMARY:Bringing Disney To Life: Opening Reception DESCRIPTION:One of the 20th century’s most influential animators will showcase his fine art in a major exhibition at Monthaven Arts and Cultural Center.
