Spirit Mask Workshop 2008

Water is about emotions and the waters of life. This element is in the direction of the West and the setting sun. The brilliance of colors at this time can be expressed through workings of art. Through tears of pain or laughter, through our struggles or our joys we express aspects of water that are in each of us. Our bodies need this sustaining element to keep us alive. We also see it as something that is an aspect of the Goddess and recognize the bodies of water as aspects of her watery womb. As soon as each of us are conceived we find that we are held in the warm waters of life. The water we see daily on this planet remind us of life and birth. Water can come to us through rivers and streams bubbling as we walk past them to the pounding force of waves when we visit the ocean. The lakes and pools we sit beside or the rushing waterfalls we find so magnificent. The drops of rain that sing to us on a spring day or the falling of gentle snow blanketing all in the winter. When you imagine the power and force of water as well as it's gentle aspect water you can begin to see how our emotions ebb and flow like water.

The workshops, ritual and retreats below have focused on this aspect and can be very emotional journey's.
