Creating Through Change: The Art of Crafting Sacred Space

Days: Thursday, 6:30 - 8:30pm, January 15 - February 19
Instructor: Hilary Lake
Skill Level: Beginner
Materials Provided: Yes

In this six-session course, we’ll explore how nature, art, and the body can guide us through change and transformation. Drawing on the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—we’ll learn to create sacred space for ourselves and others while honoring life’s transitions.

We’ll work with the Grief Wheel, a cross-cultural map for understanding change and resilience, and practice trauma-informed methods to support healing and wholeness. Each week includes a different art form to help us connect creatively with our experiences, our environment, and one another.

Schedule:

Session 1: Grounding and Honoring Our Experience of Change –  Getting to know each other, Resourcing Tools, & Agreements as well as an overview of the Grief Wheel and the course
