"To resolve this problem of our conditioned antagonism to the Earth, to the spiritual power in matter, we must consciously work to improve our relationship with the land, its occupants and the planet" R.J.Stewart

"Finding A Deep Relationship to the Land"

This workshop utilizes the energy called forth by the production, "Spirits, Stories, and Poems of Nature". Audience participants coming to the workshop will have been imbued (in some way) by the performance and the place in which it was held. We will share our dreams and intentions, go out into the landscape and listen and watch for what Nature is wanting of each of us. Then, with found objects from Nature, and provided materials, we will go in to the quiet process of creating (a mask, a costume, an object). With time slowed for the work, and for sharing, we will create a group drama that expresses our renewed relationship with the land. There is magic, mystery and fun here!

This workshop is daylong, and it is appropriate for adults and for youth who want to participate actively and positively in the story of the human species, Earth, and the Universe.

"A Life Story Workshop"

Join us! Map the terrain of your life story as it reads thus far. Take a look at the sign posts, the crossroads, the paths taken, and those ignored. Imagine what could be beneath it all - what story could be hidden or have gone unnoticed. Using symbols, visualization, and artwork, we will explore memory, witness our stories grow into their most colorful and expansive expressions, and have the chance to both tell and be listened to.

In "A Life Story Workshop", landscape is the metaphor for getting perspective on one's life - to view from the present standpoint the terrain past and future, and to identify paths that could serve one's soul. A critical aspect of the work is to have oneself witnessed while imagining walking the proposed paths. For workshop risk-takers, the circle's focused energy engenders truth and often startling revelation.

This workshop is not performance-oriented. It is for people who:

• want to understand their soul purpose
• want to make a meaningful life transition
• feel stuck with their current life or job
• want to have a fun, exploratory, and possibly enlightening day!

My Workshops are held primarily in circles. As humanity's oldest symbol, circles represent the feminine, the Mother, and all that is yet unborn. Thus, when individuals tell their stories in the circle context, a safe space is created for the soul to emerge fluidly, freely, joyfully…
