The theme of this winter series is Friendship. The environment serves as a source of creative inspiration and holds us as a friend and intimate metaphoric companion, opening us up to the mysteries of ourselves and our relationships with the world. As we create outward artistic forms of inner experience, we begin to see ourselves with fresh eyes. As our perceptions shift new possibilities emerge. This process of personal growth provides an evocative, profound, and safe place for self awareness to arrive. We take away a heightened sense of who we are and how we truly desire to be in this world. | |
