StoryBowls™

Building a Container for Your Storyy

I first started creating StoryBowls™ out of a desire to tell my story in a way that I could hold. I found a way to create a form I could hold that could hold my story. I soon found that people were drawn to these objects and found joy in creating them.

Why Story? When we tell our stories we create the possibility of connecting more deeply to ourselves, others and spirit. The telling of our stories builds compassion and healing.

Why Bowls? Bowls are an ancient form to which we all relate. They are forms we have seen all of our lives. They hold and contain nourishment. They nest inside each other. Our bodies contain bowl structures. They are familiar, comforting vessels.

We will spend 2 days together exploring 6 different aspects of our own stories. After journaling, you will use your written story to create a StoryBowl™ for each aspect. Each story will nest into the previous story until you have a set of bowls that hold YOU!

THE MANDALA - A JOURNEY INWARD

The mandala is a sacred image found in all traditions. Working with the mandala can lead one into a greater connection with self, spirit and community.

In this workshop you will be creating a personal Mandala. We will be exploring the Mandala, its history and uses. As a group we will create ritual, look at symbols and use visualization/meditation experiences to inspire each participant to create his/her own special Mandala. We will be painting with acrylic paint on canvas. No experience or talent necessary! You will be amazed at what your spirit can create!
