Buckingham: Impromptu Wellness Workshop + Hand-Crafting

Instructor Sidni Appleseed Myles led an impromptu wellness workshop focused on the healing properties of lavender, lemon verbena, and rosemary. Residents worked with fresh herbs to make a sachet and discussed the uses of each herb. “I feel calmer already!” said a resident sniffing the aromatic sachet he’d just made.

The once a week Recycled Jewelry-Making Workshop teaches residents how to make beautiful works of jewelry art out of recycled materials. Instructor Wan provides years of experience and jewelry making knowledge, as he educates residents on using different techniques and mediums. “Look what I made!” said this excited resident wearing a beaded necklace she designed in class.
