Hello dear friends,

On Friday, December 30, I will be facilitating an end of the year, looking towards the New Year Reflection  workshop called “Your Tree of Life, 2017 Edition”.  It will be here at my home studio from 2  to 4:30  p.m.  We will be making a tree of life, filling the roots with the nourishment from 2016, the trunk with the words and values with which we want to live 2017, and the leaves with goals, hopes, and resolutions for our future blossoming.  No art experience is needed, and all supplies will be provided.  This is suitable for women and men aged 15 on up.   This workshop is my contribution for all of us to live a clearer and more intentional life, and is run on a donation basis (Suggested donation $30, but it’s totally pay what you can.)  I have room for 7 participants, so please contact me soon to hold your seat.

As many of you know, my Story Circles have been inspiring for all participants and very rewarding for me to facilitate.  In the new year, I will be adding a new Story Circle called “Red Thread and Tea”,  on the second Friday afternoons of the month, starting from Friday, January 13, 2017, from 2 to 4:30 p.m here in my home studio.   All women and girls are welcome to come, and, distinct from my other Story Circles, I’m not asking for a commitment to attend all the sessions —- this Story Circle is open to new members, guests, and is come when you can.  I intend to offer this monthly on the second Fridays of the month until June, and then to start again in September.  We will have a Red Thread Circle where we all respond to a verbal enquiry, speaking whatever we wish to share with regard to the prompt, and will share tea and conversation based on whatever theme the enquiry entails.  It will be informal, but also slightly structured to facilitate meaningful conversation, discussion, reflection, and commonalities in the service of greater consciousness and living life intentionally and creatively.  There is no formal charge, but I do have present a donation box to share in the costs of my offering this.  Please RSVP if you’re coming!

The art workshop “A Gift Like No Other”  will be held on Saturday, Dec. 10 from 1:30 to 4:30. You will have the opportunity to create three different kinds of personalized TRIBUTE GIFTS, hand­made gifts of paper, cardboard, word, and image created specifically with a loved one in mind, to honor and encourage them:  an Intention Box, Appreciation Booklets, and/or Soul Cards.

All supplies provided. $60 or pay what you can, space permitting.

There is no Open Studio in December.  Open Studio is on the last Saturdays of the month from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., but in December the last Saturday is New Year’s Eve.  Open Studio will begin again in January, on  the 28th.  This is a time for playing with art materials, and I have a project or technique each time to demonstrate.  Please RSVP if you’re coming!

Please contact me with any questions or for more details.  Remember, too, that I am available, in person or online, for individual sessions in Intentional Creativity in order to learn more about different aspects of Soulwork, or to address particular questions or issues (for more information:  https://catcharissage.com/work-with-me-individually/).    Email me at catcharissage@gmail.com .

May your Holiday Season be joyous and rejuvenating.

With much love,

Cat
