Ceremony - Altars, Shrines and Spirit Boxes Workshop

Vibrant and energetic health can be achieved and maintained only when we are healthy in all major aspects of our being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Creating an altar, shrine or spirit box shows one's intention to be mindful of the necessity for spiritual growth and awareness whether by worshipping, paying homage or tribute, or simply as a chosen piece to place in your living space.

In this workshop we'll be making shrines to honor our lives greatest joys and deepest sorrows. We will be assembling mixed media pieces using cardboard, fabric and paper.

You may wish to bring boxes, tins, suitcases ... bring a few different containers to experiment with and a stash of embellishments (photos, buttons, trim - anything that feels good for this project). Basic supplies - paper, cardboard, paint, pens, etc. will be provided.

Any and all objects are appropriate; some traditional inclusions are religious icons, natural objects (plants, flowers, gems) animals likenesses, incenses, candles ... choose some things that have importance to you.

Here are some examples of my work and others:
