“I believe that in me lies an extraordinary radiance, and I commit to letting my light loose in the world.” – Jan PhillipsCreating art is a contemplative practice, where we find peace over perfection. Join us for this day of playful exploration, as you are guided through the steps of creating a collage featuring an Advent wreath with luminous candles. We’ll use hand-painted papers, music sheets and written poetry and prayer. This process is designed to provide a meaningful way to prepare your heart for the season. Using an intuitive approach to getting in touch with Spirit, our intention will be on the four Advent candles, which represent hope, love, joy and peace.
