In this exciting 2-part workshop you'll journey into the sights, sounds, customs and sensations of ancient - and contemporary! - Ukraine at the opening of Spring.

Pysanky (egg decorating) and vesnianky (a repertoire of women's spring-calling "dance songs") both date to pre-Christian times. These unique traditions have remained important cultural and seasonal touchstones across the centuries in Ukraine, and experience a blossoming of international popularity and recognition in the 21st.

GUEST ARTIST: NYC-based Laryssa Czebiniak is a Ukrainian diaspora community leader locally and abroad, specializing in the arts of pysanky and Ukrainian choral and folk singing traditions, both of which she has been steeped in since childhood.

The proceeds from these workshops will be donated to an organization close to Laryssa's heart called RAZOM FOR UKRAINE, which is celebrated for its work donating supplies to Ukraine's frontlines, medical skill-building workshops, and global advocacy engagement efforts, helping to keep people around the world connected to the Ukrainian cause.

Spring Equinox Forest Bathing for Wellness and Recovery
In collaboration with Stacey Vinci, LMFT

Step into the healing energy of the spring with Spring Equinox Forest Bathing for Wellness and Recovery. This guided program is part of a seasonal series designed to support healing, mindfulness, and personal growth by aligning with nature’s transitions throughout the year.

Led by Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Stacey Vinci, you’ll slow down, quiet the mind, and engage your senses through gentle, intentional activities inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku (“forest bathing”). As the forest awakens into spring, the sights, sounds, and scents of new growth provide an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the natural world.

The program includes:
- A meet and greet with one of our resident wildlife ambassadors before entering the forest
- Sensory-based forest immersion activities
- A light snack to enjoy in community

This program is open to individuals from all walks of recovery; whether from substance use, trauma, grief, mental health challenges, or life transitions. No prior experience is needed, just an open heart and a willingness to be present. Best for Adults.

This program is offered free of charge thanks to funding from the Lehigh Valley Greenways Conservation Landscape Mini Grant Program. Please register online.
