Miniature Shrines to Blessings and Thanksgiving Look forward to seeing you there! Feel free to forward to anyone you think might benefit as well. Best, Rebecca Rebecca Wilkinson, MA, ATR-BC, LCPAT Gioia Chilton, PhD, ATR-BC Saturday, November 15, 2014 10:00 AM-3:00 PM $40 Early registration $45 After November 13, 2014 (4.5 CECs available $10 administrative fee*) Smith Center for Healing and the Arts 1632 U Street, NW Washington, DC 20009 202 483 8600 Although most of us can identify what is working and good in our lives, we frequently focus and dwell on what interrupts that field of positivity. In other words, what most of our experience is uneventfully positive (we are able to walk, talk, eat, work, play). But when something disrupts this baseline, it naturally gets our attention. To use a visual metaphor, you could say that our attention is like a photograph. The “good” forms the background, it frames the picture but it is less distinct, may even go unnoticed; whereas the “bad” appears sharply clear in the foreground, and commands our focus. This is understandable and actually helpful to us it identifies that something needs to be dealt with. However, if we only notice problems, we do not have the opportunity to enjoy what is positive and good. In this workshop, we will create shrines to identify and honor the little blessings and big blessings in our lives. This workshop is designed for all ranges of artistic experience--you need not consider yourself an artist to attend. Materials will be provided but attendees are also invited to bring any personally meaningful objects that they might want to include in their shrine.
