A one day workshop in May on the beautiful grounds of TransfigurationCenter for Spiritual Renewal, Ludlow Falls, Ohio, was the gathering of artists, therapists and college minister.  The morning was spent doing stream of consciousness writing about a significant event in life and then followed with an exercise, whereby words were pulled from the story to create poetry. Painted watercolor paper was used to receive the creative words. Later in the morning time was spent doing meditation/drawing as an exercise in mindfulness.  After lunch we gathered to create a collage of our higher creative self with special materials.  We gathered in a circle to talk about the grace of the day.  Participants left feeling inspired, fulfilled and connected.

Creative writing exercise which later resulted into a poem on the artist's own watercolored handmade paper.

Rounded and squared sculpture on the property.  Which one do you prefer?
