The day will include guided embodiment, writing practice, a communal ritual, an opportunity to connect in small groups, a community circle, and of course, there will be gorgeous poetry woven throughout.
I deeply believe in the power of an intentional community coming together to practice movement and stillness, quiet and connection, inviting our love and gratitude, inviting the difficult guest of grief, and, having been tenderized by those wise guests, freshly visioning how we might bring our unique gifts to co-create the more beautiful world we wish to see manifest. As Francis Weller says, “This is the solitary work that we cannot do alone.”
What I won’t do in this gathering is stand in front of you and talk and talk and feed you a bunch of information as if I’m the expert on what you need.
What I will do is invite your fully embodied presence, the wisdom and the concerns, the blessings and the aches, the gratitudes and burdens, the hopes, dreads, visions, creative inspirations, and unique gifts to come more clearly into awareness so they can offer their wise guidance. You’ll have an opportunity to share in a supportive community where it will all be met with respect, care and encouragement.
We’ll take enlivening, fresh perspectives on what’s unfolding in our lives by seeing with new eyes, and we’ll invite clarity to emerge to guide us as we return to our life, renewed, embodied, and inspired to begin again, going forth at least half a shade braver.

Join local potter Neena Plant for this handbuilt pottery workshop!

About the Instructor: I create wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery in my garage studio and fire my work in my outdoor propane gas kiln. I love making pottery bottles, honey pots, and ceramic jewelry. My pieces are often unusual, and some of my favorite glazes have a metallic finish, particularly on sculptural work. My aim is to use a different approach from the work of other potters, to use my overall skills as an artist who is also a painter to bring my own perspective to my sculptural and functional pieces. neenaplant.com

Learn the fundamentals of henna body art in this hands-on, beginner friendly workshop with Jawaher Designs!

About the Instructor: My name is Jawaher, which means jewelry in Arabic, and I am a henna and jewelry artist located in Salt Lake County, Utah since 2012. I was born in Sudan and raised in Libya. As a child, my mother noticed my love for handcrafts and designs and allowed me to practice with her. Growing up in African and Middle Eastern cultures, I began to channel my creativity into henna, a 100% natural dye that is derived from plants before it is dried and sifted into a fine powder. I have been doing henna for 25 years.
