Metta & Mandala: A Monthly Nature Mindfulness Gathering

Some things are better experienced than explained. This is one of them.

Join us love, wild gardens at Wild Roots Apothecary, River Lane, Sperryville, Virginia for meditation, mindfulness, and mandala-making.

Once a month, Melissa Mello leads an intimate two-hour gathering at love, wild gardens that moves through three simple practices — a Metta (loving kindness) meditation, a silent mindfulness walk along the river, and mandala-making with found objects and flowers from the land. Together they form something greater than the sum of their parts: a moving and grounding experience of self-compassion, presence, and connection.

You don't need to be a meditator. You don't need to be an artist. You just need to show up and reset.

Capacity: Limited to 20 guests
