Prayer shawls are found in many cultural and religious traditions. Whatever their material, pattern and design, prayer shawls represent an outward and tangible expression of an indwelling comfort and protection. In this retreat we will explore through stories and poetry some of the mystery and meaning of this form. We will also have opportunities to play with different media creating our own designs and patterns on a prayer shawl theme. Cheryl Hellner will lead our gathered times and our sessions of creative paly will be led by Keith Lyndaker, working in wood inlay; Linda DeGraf with patchwork; and Vivian Headings with knitting.
This Meditative Arts Retreat will be October 3-5, 2003, and cost $90, which includes materials fee. For more information, call Vivian at 304-725-4172 or Cheryl at 302-585-4291.
