Spiritual Life Review is a reflective, structured, and highly personal process where we recall pivotal and positive moments in our past when we felt cared for or supported by our sacred source, self, or others. By doing a spiritual life review we harness our past to gain hope for our present.
In the first half of the workshop, we will recall these moments and then see what kinds of insights and memories emerge. In the second half we will take one memory or insight and explore it through art-making with a variety of media—collage, watercolor, words, or pastels. Join us and leave renewed with hope and connection!
