Going In: Touching the Divine Within

Don't miss this very special offering from the Creative Bond on June 8 at 1:30 PM for an afternoon of expression including yoga, meditation, and painting. Aptly, this session is timed to coincide with the holy day of Pentecost, a festival honoring the movement of the holy spirit in the early church.
First, Gabrielle Casper will guide participants through an hour of gentle yoga asanas and deep meditation. Then, Paget Walker will lead a painting session to help tap into the deep springs of creative intuition. Prepare to be surprised by the creative force that may emerge!
RSVPs are encouraged via DM or email creativebond@stlydias.org.

Creative Bond: Epiphanies of Hope: A Workshop of Meditation and Connection

Epiphanies of hope is an immersive workshop designed to discover clarity, grounding, and liberation through soul-led meditation. This workshop transcends traditional boundaries — engaging in personal, interpersonal, and communal meditative exercises — to foster trust and connection beyond words. Through creative expression and intentional practices, participants explore new pathways for growth, healing, and transformation for the collective and individual alike. Calling to the ancestors that are to be - we will ask for the wisdom that is needed and helpful for the now. Together, we cultivate a toolbox for navigating life’s challenges while embracing the mystery of hope and the becoming that is communal creation.
Come as you are, bring art materials that call to you, and let’s walk the path together.
