A Great Success at North Hollywood

Everything was equally beautiful, this was a fantastic workshop! Connecting with other grieving people, feeling safe to express sadness, singing with Mary, sharing one on one with another here, finding pictures of my Dad when he was happy and making the collage to share with others was most beneficial.
Laura, Encino

 
~ In a safe space we will explore our relationship with our loved one,
their significance, and the gifts that are a continuing presence in our lives.

~ You will then create a collage made from your photocopied photographs,
and mementos honoring their life and the love shared. This can include song lyrics they loved, pictures of plants if they gardened, knitting if they knit, fabric, ribbons, feathers, book titles or words representing their qualities.
(Forethought is required but no art experience is necessary)

~ We will conclude with a service of sacred reading and song
as we share and commemorate our loved ones.

Remembering with joy is the perfect atmosphere of love. The guided meditation gave me peace, the experiential an opportunity to express myself. The collage allows me to remember the many aspects of my mother. Mary's voice is so melodious in her speaking. The chants were beautiful. This was a well thought out workshop.
Barbara, Sherman Oaks

The meditation/visualization was VERY powerful - I felt (deeply, emotionally) connected with my passed loved one. Also Joan's artistic talent displayed and discussed. It was all helpful, from the alter, to the layout of the craft tables, to Mary's beautiful voice and guitar playing. to everything...
Lauri, Granada Hills

This was a great collage of singing, spoken word, meditation and creative collage making. I loved it all.

Vision Board Collage Workshop

This is a powerful aid to being the magnet that draws to you all that you envision as your ideal life.

Here’s how it works;
1. Focus on what you want and love, not on what you don’t want.
2. This sows the seed and time allows it to germinate.
3. A plan of action unfolds as we see new possibilities, guided by Spirit.

A Vision Board represents what we desire and helps us focus on this.
It imprints on our mind what is possible for us.
As we allow that vision to generate the good feelings/vibrations of our desired reality, we draw to us, like a magnet the people and circumstances that support the experience we wish to have.

For one human being to love another, that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks,

the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
