Process + Express: A Summer Workshop

An evening of movement, prompted writing, forest-bathing, & tea to tickle all the senses, foster connection with Mother Earth, & cool down in the heat of summer.

On Thursday, August 3rd from 6:30-8:30pm we invite you to join HOLDTIGHT for Process + Express at Carroll Hall, an urban garden oasis in Bushwick, Brooklyn. 

The evening will begin with a writing prompt & gentle movement in the center of the garden, to tune into the body and begin to notice our surroundings. Then slowly and consciously, we will traverse the space, moving through the garden for a forest-bathing experience where we will connect our senses with the lush surroundings. We will round out the evening with a tea ceremony & reflection on the experience of feeling nature in our bodies.

Come celebrate summer with us & experience the HT process firsthand while nourishing all five senses in a glorious & lush garden!

A little more about Carroll Hall: 

Discovery, wonder, and the unexpected are big themes... Handmade mosaic murals tell stories of underground creatures. There are moving walls and secret doors. The plants are an idealized woodland, dressed-up cousins of what might have grown along the edges of fields and farms past. Birds, bees and butterflies are invited back. The buildings “breathe” with automated natural ventilation. Fountains and water features collect and recycle stormwater for irrigation. A decade of design and construction led to a complex and interwoven series of architectural ideas that coalesced into a rare and unexpected nature retreat in New York City.
