Another Four Sisters Playshop:
DEATH, CRADLE OF CREATIVITY
Brattleboro, VT
August 17-20
Western culture has taught us all to treat aging and dath as enemies, not allies. It’s time to turn this paradigm on its head: come paint, write, sing and move from fear to renewal and joy.
We four sisters include a painter, an author (that’s Louise!), a musician, and a film animator-turned-art-therapist. We would be enriched and delighted to have you join us for four days and three nights of words, music, movement, and visual art—all in a joy-filled, profound, and lively search for ways to feel our way to the truth of who we are, how we live, and how we die. NO previous artistic experience necessary, only a curious, creative mind and heart. Enrollment is now open! Download your brochure and registration form here:
