Joyfully Honoring Ancestors & Other Beloveds: A Mosaic of Gratitude (In-Person Program)
November 1 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm EST
We are delighted to welcome community mosaic artist Cinder Hypki back to the Well for another creative opportunity to joyfully honor our ancestors and beloveds!
Cinder brings years of experience guiding groups in creative activities for celebration, exploration and healing. Fall’s poignancy and ritual shedding of leaves is a time that can bring grief closer for many. This joyful workshop honors the processes of grief and remembrance, of letting go and holding on – wherever we may be in that vast field. It creates a vessel for group and individual contemplation, self-expression, and creation that provides quality time to remember and memorialize loved ones.
We will use a variety of creative practices and activities to remember, share stories, and communicate our love and appreciation for those who have left the earthly plane. Participants will engage in storytelling, haiku writing, and the design and creation of a colorful mosaic keepsake. Our conversations and sharing will help inspire us and quiet individual making time will enable everyone to appreciate and celebrate those we love.
Cinder brings her mobile mosaic studio to the Well, offering a sumptuous feast of materials for memorializing in mosaics. You are also welcome to bring any small items that remind you of the beloved person or pet you are celebrating. No prior experience with mosaics or any art form is required to participate. Cinder will guide every step of this joyful, creative, and life-giving process.
Space is limited so please register early. Cinder’s delightful workshops typically sell out.
