We seek to remove the boundaries of separation and participate in the great remembering of what we came into this life knowing. There is no separation. We are one with creation.
We aspire to engage in creative explorations that begin and end in wonder. We are reminded in the words of William Irwin Thompson, Ideas, like windblown seeds, have a way of crossing
boundaries, and appearing in unlikely places.

 

 

interdisciplinary workshop

Art + Earth + Spirit

Re-waken hope in a new ecology of respect, tolerance and love.

Through communion with all of life, we weave a healthier and more balanced world back into being. The way to save the earth is to belong to it. Together, we will explore tension on the edges and boundaries. We invite you to enter a time that engages your senses and to join in active communion with others, into this immersive workshop. Join our interdisciplinary faculty and participate in experiential “making” to re-waken hope and encourage a new ecology of respect, tolerance and love.

Each class will be designed to the needs of your group

Spirit Taking Shape

Reforming our relationships through art and imagination.

How can creativity and imagination help us form a deeper community centered in understanding and peace? Join us as we travel through a transformative journey of self-discovery and inspiration. Using the language of shape, symbol, and color, we will reach into our silence, and deeper into wonder to touch where Spirit takes form. Explore your creativity and discover the profound connections we have between art, spirit, and each other. No previous experience necessary, just a curious mind and open heart.

Creative Day Away

Drawing out the spirit that connects us.

How might an intentional engagement with our creativity and spirituality increase our ability to live a life of meaning and service to others? How can creativity and imagination help us form community centered in peace, understanding and justice? Using language of shape, symbol, and color we will reach into the landscape of our creative selves to sense where spirit takes form.

We love to share our creative energies and make art with others. We trust that creativity, divinely embedded in the human spirit, is always within reach. Coming together to paint draws out the spirit that connects us. We create something together that could not be created alone.

“Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful morning for us at your studio – it was such an interesting and valuable experience and prompted great discussion and reflection.” – Bristol Reading
