Creativity lives within all of us. Nature has a special way of nurturing the creative spirit, helping it blossom and grow. Learn to better connect with nature to unlock your heart’s desire. Spend the morning with your guide, John Thomas Whitfield, BFA Studio Fine Arts, Appalachian State, at the pristine Transfiguration Preserve* in the Hickory Nut Gorge of Bat Cave, NC. Come join JT Whitfield exploring nature in this pristine setting…making journals, collecting leaves and other treasures to deepen your relationships with the more than human world.
