Art Workshop by Marissa Sweeny 3-4 pm
“In this workshop, we will be creating nichos—small shadowboxes that open and close—that are created from everyday materials such as cigar or matchboxes and that are decorated with brightly colored paint, beads, and trims. The nichos we will create will become safe keeping places for our memories, affirmations, and memorials. They may be dedicated to a particular person or people, ideas, or icons and function as shrines or devotional objects. Nichos can be opened and displayed publically or they can be kept closed and private. Participants are encouraged to bring any small, portable items that have special meaning for them to incorporate into their nicho such as small photographs, good luck charms, milagros, other small remembrances, and collage materials. All other materials will be provided at the workshop, and the nichos will be easily transportable for the flight or drive home.
Writing Workshop 4-5 pm
Journaling Your Fertility Journey: This workshop is for anyone on the fertility
journey. Taught by writer and instructor Jenny Rough, this workshop will provide a safe
space to explore writing as a form of creative expression. Studies show writing is a
healing practice. It can boost immunity, reduce stress, and decrease disease severity. In
addition to writing exercises, we’ll talk about ways to maintain a practice at home. Don’t
miss this wonderful opportunity to share community and honor your own journey.Â
We are looking for sponsors! If you are interested, call Elizabeth at (517) 262-3662 or fill out our contact form by clicking here.Â
