Nature House - Today's Events
Saturday, August 1, 2026 at 8:40AM 1pm-3pm Wild Creatives: Soul of the Trees with Marcia Aftimus (all ages)
Location: Nature House at The Portal - park at Heneage House (the wine-coloured building) or the Fairyslipper parking area
An invitation to create with nature. In this outdoor workshop, each participant receives a section of deeply grained trunk from a standing dead tree, a unique gift from the forest, to print, paint, and explore. Through touch, observation, and intuition, we'll let the textures, shapes, and curves of the wood guide us, revealing the hidden soul within.
About Marcia: Born in São Paulo and now based in Chemainus, Marcia's richly detailed, spiritually infused mixed-media paintings draw inspiration from her travels across Asia and Europe - each a meditative invitation to reconnect with our deeper selves.
1pm-3pm SLC Drop-in: Extraordinary Eelgrass (all ages)
Location: Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina
