Join Rachael from The Spirit of Ray for this beginner-friendly workshop where you'll craft your own Tiny Travel Altar. This session offers a quiet introduction into art meditation as we transform a small wooden container into a sacred shrine. Guided by feeling, we'll decorate and select small treasures - vessels, candles, and crystals to nestle into our portable sanctuaries. 

This altar is designed to fit easily into small spaces making it perfect to accompany you on your travels. Wherever you roam this tiny altar serves as a sacred anchor when you are called to ground, meditate, mourn, or pray. 

These two hours of intentional making is perfect for anyone seeking a softer pace, connection to community, and meaningful creativity. If you feel inspired, bring along any tiny treasures from home that you'll like to weave into your creation.

The ceremony is a 2 long experience which focuses on turning towards one's own mortality. Participants are faced with their own memorial, participate in a writing exercise, and then are lead through a death visualization. The Living Funeral offers a transformative and cathartic experience, helping individuals cultivate a deeper sense of mindfulness, acceptance, and appreciation for life's beauty and transience. Death meditation underscores the importance of living fully in the present moment.

Join Rachael from The Spirit of Ray for this beginner-friendly workshop where you'll honor your roots by crafting a family tree with pressed foliage. Through quiet reflection, we'll anchor into our roots and together, we'll settle into stillness, and explore our lineage through meditative art-making.

A Family Tree is a collage representation of your ancestry and the relationship between family members. Each stem, leaf, or flowering of the tree symbolizes a family member and how you are related to them. 

Please bring multiple copies of each photo of your family members as we will be cutting them down to size - Bringing multiple prints of each image is encourage to give yourself room for cutting mistakes.

These two hours of intentional making is perfect for anyone seeking a softer pace, connection to community, and meaningful creations. After our journey together, making copies of your art to give as holiday gifts is a sacred and generous act of sharing your inner light.
