A Taste of UU Womenspirit  ---  

August 26 Workshop Schedule

10:30-11:20 am Touch Drawing       Marilyn Grubbs

Touch Drawing is a reflective, intuitive art medium designed to connect you with whatever is ready to be expressed from within yourself. You will use your fingers directly on the paper which has paint spread underneath. I sometimes describe it as "finger painting without the mess", but with the same freedom and expressive energy!

10:30-11:20 am Nature, Spirit and Imagination      Sue-Anne Solem

We will saunter (literally “holy or sacred earth,” as John Muir used the term) together in nature, stopping here and there to sit and reflect, write and/or draw, and share as we are willing.

 
11:30 am-12:20 pm Yoga & Ayurveda      Allison Lynch

This practice combines breath work, gentle movement, stretching, and a guided meditation designed to open your Root Chakra & soothe your nervous system. Learn tips to support a repeated practice which will help deepen your connection to body and spirit, cultivate gratitude, joy, and more.

 
1:30-2:20 pm Artistic Magic      Katie Bloedau
Create your own flower. Participants will be guided through the process of molding and shaping German crepe paper and other materials into a unique representation of a gift from the natural world.

 
2:30-3:20 pm Goddess Grace       Betsy Bickel

Take on the power and postures of 26 goddesses from around the world. This moving meditation has a spoken affirmation and is designed to develop flexibility, grace, strength, balance and a positive self-image. Please wear clothes you can move freely in, and bring a yoga mat if you have one.
