SOUL CARDMAKING

Soul Cardmaking is a psychospiritual collage art process. We
come together to explore the messages of our souls in a safe
environment of non-judgement and play.
We create a personal deck of cards that help us dialogue with
the many facets of our being: celebratory, wounded, strong or
forgotten parts of ourselves. Open to all,
no experience necessary, great for artists who want to try a new
medium.

Past Participants:
" I got to experience myself as a visual artist for the 1st time"  -C
"I thought it was very interesting how (the) unconscious came
out when making the cards, a different idea emerged. Just
sitting and doing was very important to me, to relax and put
things together"   -M


Sunday July 11th
11:30-1:30pm
$25  All materials included


DECEMBER SCHEDULE:
The Art of Eating

Sunday December 17th 2006
4:00-8:00
Just in time for the holidays ....!

Do you find that you read, watch TV, or drive while eating? Do
you feel hungry after "dinner" is over? When you eat with others
do you listen to your body or do distractions interfere?

This collage workshop is designed to give the participant a
chance to create a personal picture of the energy they want to
dwell on as they eat. We will focus our awareness on the
intention to eat consciously by creating a "prayer" place mat (c).
By choosing images of beauty or mindfulness, and words of
healing, one can be reminded that one is part of all that is. By
recognizing the spiritual nature of nourishing, the gift that is our
body is honored. We can celebrate the fact that eating is a daily
choice on our part to join with life. Bring your dinner.

All materials included. $45.

Limit 6 participants. Pre-registration required.
