Week 7: Mandala as Metaphor (Remembering Ancestors)

THIS IS A ONE-DAY CLASS THAT WILL BE HELD VIA ZOOM.

“How might we have conversations, even online, that create space for us to better care for ourselves and for one another? Self-care is a constant journey to tether ourselves to what can heal us… [O]ur wholeness is connected to our belonging.”

—Kaitlin B. Curtice, Native – Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God

Come to this session with an ancestral story to share – just one story that has touched your heart. Receive instructions to create a simple mandala form that can hold names of people, memorable objects, dates/places, etc. During an hour of independent creative time, you will be given the link to an hour-long audio recording called “Rediscovering Our Origins.” We will then regather at 11:30am to discuss insights and reflections, as well as share the art we created or have begun to create. In the remaining time, we will continue to work together on our own projects.

This workshop is designed as a stand-alone workshop.  Participation in Thursday’s “Mandala as Metaphor: Becoming Ancestors” is not required.

If you would like to join the Guild community for our morning matins gathering, you may join the Zoom meeting at 9am.
