Why the Labyrinths? led by Marty Cain

10:00 – 11:55 am | $60 | Sign up

During this workshop participants will walk a labyrinth, learn about its history, its construction, and its uses.  Cain will also teach beginning dowsing and demonstrate the effects of walking a labyrinth. There will be lots of time for questions and handouts will be provided.

Breaking Out of Beliefs That Bind

led by Jay Pfeil

12:00 – 12:55 pm | $10 | Sign up

We will be exploring ways to change our beliefs through verbal and nonverbal means. Often we hold beliefs that stop us from being all we’d like to be. ‘I’m too old, too young, too stupid, too ugly, or not worthy!’  There are many fun ways to create change from the inside out. When we change the way we think of ourselves,  our outer world changes too.

Make Your Own Story Quilt

led by Jenny Kiehn

1:00 – 1:55 pm | $20 | Sign up

In this workshop you will create a design for your own story quilt in the style of my resin quilt sculptures. We will mindfully approach this by carefully examining, selecting and arranging natural forms and found objects to create your design. Each design tells it’s own story in a symbolic way, so this is perfect for people who like symbolism and puzzles. No artistic skill needed! Each participant will get a photographic print of their design to take home.  All materials will be provided.

ReFraming Our Narratives

Led by Mary Lounsbury, PhD in Myth and Depth Psych

2:00 – 2:55 pm | $10 | Sign up

See your personal narratives anew through creative journaling. Entering the landscape of this visionary exhibit with meditation and imagination, we will revisit life events from new angles. Narrative formation is always a creative process. Change your perspective, and your perspective changes everything!

$10 fee includes a simple hand-constructed journal for you to use and take with you. *This creative journaling session includes time for sharing, but sharing is always optional.

Empowering Embodiment Through the 5Rhythms movement

Led by Karen Chapman, Certified 5Rhythms Teacher

3:00 – 5:00 | $20 | Sign up 

How do we stay strong and empowered in a hectic, unpredictable world? How can we give ourselves the love and care that we need in order to carry on? We can’t just think our way through it? “Put your body in motion and your psyche will heal itself!” says Gabrielle Roth creator and founder of the 5Rhythms Movement Meditation Practice. Staying in motion on the dance floor fosters healing and creativity through movement. Each one of the 5Rhythms-Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical and Stillness has unique qualities to help move your body to empowerment, which translates to empowerment in your life!
