Shrine Making Workshops May/June 2012

2 Day Shrine Making Workshops

Our lives have become so busy that we often forget or/and have difficulties to make space for what is meaningful in our lives.

In this workshop you get to explore what really matters to you whatever that may be and create your own personal shrine to bring that into focus.

You will learn how to create a beautiful shrine from a pre cut cardboard template which is quick and easy to assemble. We use paint, collage, and found objects to decorate and embellish your sacred space.

We explore together colour, symbols and imagery to enhance the meaning of you shrine. These processes are accompanied by group sharing’s and reflective self explorations.

Shrine building is a creative process which will inspire you, hopefully in an ongoing dialogue, to focus and remember and engage with your hearts voice. These shrines can easily be repainted and redecorated again as your focus changes.

“I joined the open studio group this last week and felt so happy to be there. I felt like I gave myself a gift. Honoring my creativity, finishing my shrine which is symbolic in itself and having Claudia’s presence. She offers support if required, a wonderful range of art supplies but most importantly the space in which to simply show up and see what unfolds. A great way to start the week. Thank you.”                                                                             Kumari Ellis
