Join us at Lynch Park for a sauna session by the sea. Our cedar barrel sauna is heated to temperatures upward of 180°F and is the perfect accompaniment to New England’s early winter season. Sauna has many health benefits, including relaxation and stress relief, temporary relief from pain, improved cardiovascular and respiratory functioning, and reduced inflammation. Kick things up a notch by cooling off in the sea. If the sea is not your thing, relaxing in the brisk salty New England air is a perfect alternative. There is nothing like it and we are so proud and excited to bring this experience to the Beverly community. This wonderful wood fired sauna sits up to 6 people. Book a spot on the bench for an hour, or multiple spots for you and your friends. Wear a swimsuit, bring your towel, water bottle and don't forget water shoes if planning to visit the shore.

Subjects may include: Color mixing lesson - creation of color wheels, neutrals exercise, Joli’s 5-step process for painting - demonstration and student practice of how to start a painting, painting skies and clouds, painting the surf, painting the land, painting trees
Instructor Bio: My name is Joli Ayn Wood and my passion is Better Living Through Art. My passion is bringing art into my local community along the North Shore of Boston. Whether it is painting what inspires me, or teaching and demonstrating my painting techniques, I enjoy helping those around me discover the healing and therapeutic qualities of making art. When painting, I work mainly in oils, on many different surfaces, and I enjoy painting out of doors, and from life, most of all. I long to capture what it feels like to be in a place as it is on that day. When I’m not trekking out to paint the marshes, forests, and rocky coasts of New England, you may find me painting at the local cafe, school, or even at your next corporate event. I love sharing my painting process with public painting demonstrations, as well as private instruction, teaching budding artists of all ages. In addition to creating, I enjoy organizing art events for my fellow artists, connecting them within their own communities.
