Cathy Carter, an intuitive landscape designer and the founder of Creating Sacred Places, will be leading Kinship with Nature workshops every other weekend, starting April 17, at various parks and natural settings throughout northern Westchester County and Putnam County.

“These workshops teach you how to communicate with the elemental spirits in nature and how to create a deeper connection with nature,” Carter says. 

Creating Sacred Spaces will announce its upcoming workshop season with more dates, locations and topics soon. Carter says she plans to add natural craft workshops, such as building fairy gardens, floral headdresses, sand castings, and floral design using materials gathered from nature. 

“Last year our workshops were very successful,” she says. “Everyone loved the exercises and the camaraderie with other participants. One is left with a magical feeling of great love for nature after each workshop. I’m looking forward to continuing these wonderful workshops with added topics and dates. I’m also very excited about the craft workshops, and I’ll be starting a podcast this spring as well.”
