Pressed for Memories is a local community initiative that combines art and nature to bring fun into your self-reflection and mental health journey. This workshop is a friendly environment for beginners on basic flower pressing techniques with an accompanying poetry lesson led by Kita Huerta. Together we will journey into selecting the right flower, deconstructing our petals, pressing, reflecting, writing, and finally building your masterpiece!

Natalia Cornejo enjoys spending time outdoors, going for long walks, hammocking, and foraging wildflowers. She is completing her MSW program at FSU and looks forward to creating a union between her passion for mental health activism and her love of all things nature.
