Altar Making: Opening the Door, Lifting the Veil

This event takes place on the cusp of All Saints/All Souls, Halloween and Samhain when spiritual energy shimmers powerfully.  It is invitation, portal, encounter, veneration, hospitality, medicine, remembrance. It is the gift of creative process and sacred space, to call forth deeper stories that want and need to be told. These stories will unfold through a guided process of creating a vintage found object personal altar or shrine, making this time spiritual practice in contemplative reflection, prayer, play and creative imagination.

You do NOT have to be “artsy” or “creative” in any way to find this time meaningful. This event is intended for adults.
All supplies to create altars are included, though you are welcome to bring your own boxes, objects and creative materials.
Bring your own lunch; apple dumplings with be provided

COST: sliding scale: $60 - $150

Susannah Crolius, M. Div.

Holy ground. In the midst of the ordinary, there is holy ground.  Special spaces to pause, breathe, remember, set intention, give thanks, release, restore, recommit, celebrate.  These are ancient rhythms, these practices of the spirit. Analtar: something on which an offering is made. A shrine: where reverence and mystery are made visible. , 

Susannah’s own spiritual practice is creating altars and shrines from found objects and making contemporary icons as encounter and medicine.
