In this two-part class series we will create large scale pastel paintings, beginning with charcoal sketches and continuing through layering techniques to the final blending, fixing and detailing of finished pieces. Weather permitting, we will work outdoors to capture the freshness and variability of the natural world.

In this introductory workshop we follow shamanic customs to open ourselves to new levels of creative awareness, vision and possibility.Using the elements of our natural surroundings in the ancient technique of sand painting, we explore our power to create new physical realities for our personal lives and for Earth.Our paintings become places to observe spirit intervention and guidance, as well as permanent locales of healing in the land and in our hearts.

"The Symposium is designed to accelerate the Great Turning to a just and sustainable world. It awakens us and reconnects us with our place in the web of life . . . I'm very impressed with the approach and the quality of the program." ---Joanna Macy Contact: October 24 - 26, 2008 W.I.S.E Women's Interfaith Spiritual Encounter Sacred Healing through Storytelling Carol Dearborn Carol Dearborn - is in the 3rd generation of painters in her family to use art as a force for healing, transformation, global unity and peace. In addition to her artwork, which can be seen at www.caroldearborn.com, she also studies and practices various energetic healing forms including Reiki and Peruvian shamanism. Her mission is to help awaken Westerners to our freedom and responsibility to create a sustainable human presence on Earth through the evolution of a new consciousness. Sacred Healing through Storytelling - Our story is both the unfinished business of our past and our greatest tool for healing our self and our human presence on Earth. It is our joyous responsibility to tell our story with lust, courage, honor and beauty. In this way we heal the past, open to enormous possibility and create new realities. In this class we choose an area of challenge in our life, past or present, to heal via the creation of a book. Our books will be composed of words and images. With the help of our spirits and guides we will heal through story the area of our life we have chosen to focus on. Our books will serve each of us as a record of our journey of healing, whether we choose to keep them or to place them in the Eternal Library of Spirit. Contact:
