Icons & Intentions: Mixed-Media Mary Shrine Making Contemplative

Icons & Intentions: Mixed-Media Mary Shrine Making — Contemplative
Price: $25.00
Friday, January 30 — 5:00–6:30 pm

In this reflective, creative workshop, participants will create a small personal shrine using shadow boxes as containers. Mary will be lovingly offered as a central inspiration and image option, and you are warmly invited to bring any other sacred, symbolic, or meaningful image that resonates with your own spiritual path or personal practice. (Shadow box is 4" x 5.5".)

Using decorative papers, images, and a wide array of embellishments, you'll design a shrine that serves as a visual prayer, meditation focus, or reminder of what you hold dear. All materials will be provided.

All paths are welcome. All expressions are honored.

• Bring an image or small item sized to fit the shadow box (4" x 5.5") if you wish to personalize your shrine further.
• No prior art experience is necessary; hand and finger dexterity is helpful because we'll be working with small materials in small spaces.
• Ages 16+

Note: Due to working with donated and reclaimed materials, class projects may vary slightly from examples shown in our monthly calendar. We embrace these variations as part of the magic and uniqueness of every session.

Contemplative classes are intentionally crafted with the ambience in mind. These sessions offer a quiet, meditative environment; some classes may begin or end with a guided meditation or a short guided breath work exercise. They are an opportunity to quiet the mind and body and allow the creative process to reconnect you to yourself — a great opportunity to be amongst others while remaining within yourself. Connecting in quietness!
