​We invite you to join us in creative community at the cusp of autumn, as we move towards the darker days of the year. This weekly retreat series offers you the chance to step away from the demands of daily life and to connect more deeply with yourself and your innate wisdom through the creative process. During this session we will explore our relationship to the concept of “befriending time” as it relates to cultivating a spirit of presence and tapping into wonder as we enter the beauty of the changing season. We will draw inspiration from our ancestral stories, memories, dreams, and visions for the future in our art and writing exploration. Our weekly projects will utilize a variety of mixed media techniques including painting, drawing, collage, and sculpture. Featured projects for this series include creating assemblage art using shadow boxes and collage, sculpting clay spirit vessels, and making personal lanterns. This program offers you a chance to kindle your creative spark and cultivate new ways of enriching your imagination while nourishing yourself in the supportive, uplifting company of other women.
