Stephanie Buck is offering two new workshops this fall at her Yellow Door Studios in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. The first, Creating from Your Garden, focuses on gardens and gardening as inspiration and life metaphor, using the studio’s flower and vegetable garden as an extension of the creative space.

 “We will plant, weed and harvest our own inner gardens through the exploration of creative modalities including writing, painting and sculpture,” says Buck.

The other offering, Creating from Your River, features the Hudson River as inspiration and life metaphor. “We’ll walk to the river’s edge and spend time there, meditating, gathering and creating,” Buck says. “We’ll then return to the studio to use painting, drawing, writing, collage and sculpture to inspire our creative work.”

Buck is also welcoming new members for her ongoing, bi-weekly expressive arts group, in which participants can explore different creative modalities, including sounding, to strengthen inner resources and work through challenging issues. The group meets Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and begins Friday, September 12. Buck, M.P.S. , L.C.A. T, is a psychotherapist and licensed creative arts therapist who works with individuals, couples, and families.

Yellow Door Studios is located at 1 North St. in Hastings On Hudson, NY. For more information, call 914.478.0116 or email [email protected].
