Special Seasonal Celebration workshop

When:

• Saturday 1st November – 15:00-17:00

About the Event:

Overview
This workshop provides a space to reflect on the personal significance of seasonal change and to use mandala-style artwork to portray this journey. It will be structured into four parts, beginning with a meditation and concluding with a connection circle. Below is an outline of the morning’s structure.

Workshop Structure

more details soon to come.. 

The workshop will begin with a welcoming circle. Participants will receive information about the facilities and an overview of the morning’s activities. There will also be an opportunity to check in and connect with the group.

While we start together, this space is an invitation for personal reflection. The hope is for this space to allow the opportunity for individual self-expression through a creative medium. The workshop will flow through four main stages:

• Meditation: You will be guided through a meditation to inspire the creative process and begin visualizing your ‘sacred ciorcal’.
• Orchestrating your idea: After the meditation, you will be invited to select the medium that best suits your vision. A variety of materials, including paints, black ink pens, pencils, and natural elements (such as leaves and rocks), will be available. If you regularly work with a particular medium, you are welcome to bring your own materials. Card will be provided as a canvas.
• Creative Expression: The core of the workshop will focus on bringing your vision to life. You will fill your ‘sacred ciorcal’ with images, words, or symbols that hold personal meaning. Intentional music will be played to support the creative flow.
• Closing connection circle: Finally, we will reconnect in a closing circle. There will be an invitation for people to share their creative process and their ‘sacred ciorcals’ if they feel comfortable.
