​Join us for an afternoon of mindful creatvity with a focus on mental health. This program is presented by Kim Larkin of KlassicKreations.A unique soulful, meditative art program that transforms an 8 x 8 craft box into your own 3-D Alchemy Box.

We will have a journaling exercise which will be sealed/placed inside. Each artist will receive a piece of rose quartz for their box as a symbol of self-love.

Meditative music and herbal teas will help set the inspiring tone.This project was funded by federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
