Join us for a day of Blessings, to give, to receive and to become. We explore blessings in our lives, creating personalised blessings to share with others.
In our time together we will explore the blessings life has given us, create a blessing for those we love and open to blessing those that might challenge us. Becoming a Benedicere, a Blessor to others, we open to inspiration spending time in nature for insights and guidance which we bring back to the Art Room. Here we unleash our inner creativity, images appear, words flow as we draw, write and create poems and images allowing Blessings to emerge from our minds and fingers, our pens and brushes.
This is an experiential day beginning with quotes to reflect upon, sharing our experiences, and soaking up all The Bield offers culminating in creating Blessing cards we can to pass on to bless another. We leave offering each other a blessing, a Benediction.
It is a day enriching you from which you become a Benedicere..
