Interwoven: Presence in the Wood Shop Woodworking for Service Members

This event is open to Special Operations Forces Service Members. Special Operations Forces Service Members are invited to join Patrick Ryan, owner of Benevolent Design, and The Station Foundation for a three day woodworking intensive to explore the meditative benefits of craftsmanship. Participants will lean into the mindfulness principles of presence, breathwork, and focus while tapping into creativity. Woodworking provides many psychological and cognitive benefits including stress reduction, mood regulation, improved concentration and spatial skills, and normalizing brain chemistry.
