Explore the healing use of focusing and ritual in this creative workshop. Spend time constructing a mini shrine, the perfect size for traveling with you anywhere.
In this special time of year when many traditions remember those who are no longer with us in bodily form, we will spend some time talking about grief and loss and how shrines help individuals and communities to walk alongside these powerful emotions.
Whether you want to remember a loved one, honor a special saint, or pay homage to inspirational idea like love or justice, art therapist Charlotte Reed will lead you through the creation of your pocket shrine. Bring a metal candy tin, like an Altoid’s box, and she’ll show you some tricks for turning it into a pocket-sized space for memories. Supplies will be provided, but we encourage you to bring copies of photos or other mementos to include in your special space.
All supplies and instructions will be provided in this three-hour workshop. Registration operates on a sliding scale: choose $25, $45, or $65 based on your budget. Space is limited so pre-registration is required.
Art Equals seeks to provide inclusive and accessible spaces for community creating, so please contact Charlotte if there is a way we can make the workshop more comfortable for you.
