Walk
the Labyrinth November 2011
We
created a labyrinth in the sanctuary using long strings of
multi-coloured
beads. We then walked the labyrinth path as a meditation, into
the centre and out again, becoming aware of personal insights and
meaning.

A
Meditation on Mandorlas, June 2011
We created
mandorlas, an ancient symbol of overlapping circles
representing a pair of opposites. The place where they overlap is a
place of healing. We used paint, pencils, pastels, and collage in our
creations.

A
Meditation on Mandalas, April 2011
A mandala is a
representation of wholeness. We explored the
harmonizing effect of drawing or painting a mandala using metallic
pens, glitter, paint and coloured papers.

A Meditation on
Our Place of Belonging, March 2011
We played with
a range of techniques using paints, washes, tissue paper, and coloured
pencils - scratching & scraping thick paints, dribbling and blowing
watery paints. Then we cut and pasted our experiments to create a
collage - our personal place of belonging. Each was very
different, surprising, and beautiful.
