Mindful Mornings at MOBOT

Join me for a slow and creative Wednesday morning at the Missouri Botanical Garden. We’ll meet at the front entrance at 9:00 AM, then wander into the gardens together and find a nice spot to sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. Bring a sketchbook, journal, watercolors, colored pencils, or whatever art supplies you like—we’ll spend some time doodling flowers, plants, and whatever else catches our attention. No art experience needed at all - I sure as heck don't know what I'm doing. This isn't about who can draw the best flower, but rather about slowing down, noticing the beauty around us, and spending a little creative time in community. I’ll bring a few simple supplies to share, but feel free to bring your own favorites. Entry to the Garden is free for St. Louis City and County residents. If you’re visiting from outside the area, you’re welcome to come in as my guest. Rain plan: If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll shift our hangout to the Climatron dome and enjoy the plants from inside. I’ll post updates here if we need to adjust. We’ll gather from 9:00–10:30 AM, but feel free to stay longer and continue exploring the gardens afterward. While our meetups center queer bodies and queer experiences, friends, family, and allies are always welcome. Looking forward to a peaceful morning in the gardens together.
