Spirit Alive – Saturday, December 8, 2018

December 10, 2018
 

Spirit Alive, Saturday December 8, 2018, 10:00 a.m.

Lucy Burke will be our leader

The Sacred Matter of Our Lives. 

The Material can hold a deep sense of the Spiritual.  Every Object has a Story to Tell.

Look around your home/office/workshop, and bring some little thing/object to our gathering, which is a cherished part of your life, from near or far, that holds special meaning for you, and sparks joy in you.  It may be a travel treasure, an everyday tool or implement, something you made, or something that many others were part of making, anything at all that calls to you.

Consider and savour three aspects as you contemplate your object:  1) why it sparks joy and holds your interest; 2) it’s physicality – it’s texture, shape, colour, weight, construction; 3) what forward energy might it offer you or our world.

Then come and share your object and it’s story with the group.  All are welcome.
