Most people unconsciously create little altars in their homes or workspaces. Then you have an altar. Altars remind us to look for the sacred in everyday life. They can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. A single candle sitting alone on a table can create your sacred space.
Altars can also be a focus for meditation, a tiny moment of calm and focus in a stressful day.
In designing sacred space, it is necessary to consider what the purpose of that space is to be. Once you have decided on your focus, you can begin to choose significant items to include. Before the workshop, you will receive a handout with some information about the properties of various stones and crystals, colors, and other symbols, as well as some information about where to look for items you might need to create your own sacred space. This session will address attitudes and traditions. We will consider different options and new rhythms in living with passion and compassion during the upcoming holidays.
