"Consider how truly elegant the design process is that created us so that, in
the face of the most difficult time of our lives, there is the possibility—not
the certainty but the possibility—of access to states of awareness and
experience that enable us to cope with these crises better than we otherwise
could. And consider how remarkable it is that these states of awareness make
many people say that they feel more alive and more … than they ever felt
before."
Michael Lerner, Executive director, Commonweal
In this workshop, we will explore challenges we have faced and honor the process
that helped us survive and even thrive in the face of such adversities. We
will create "altars" using an inspiring collection of found objects, boxes, and
a delightful assortment of art supplies, to honor our resilience and
perseverance.
Previous art experience is not needed in order to benefit from this arts,
healing, and creativity program. The workshop is designed for all ranges of
artistic experience--you need not consider yourself an
artist to attend.
Objectives 1) Attendees will be able to define resilience and its role in
surviving and thriving.
Objectives 2) Attendees will be able to list three strategies for moving from
surviving to thriving despite difficult experiences we have either faced in the
past or are facing now.
Lunch is not provided but healthy, reasonably priced restaurants are available
in the neighborhood.
