🌿 The Tree of Life 🌿 Finding Purpose Through Roots

Workshop designed by [lauravicgal.art]

🎨 Workshop Overview

We will explore Wangari Maathai, the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize (2004). She founded the 🌳Green Belt Movement, leading people to plant millions of trees in Kenya.
We will learn how caring for the environment can also strengthen communities.
