The Season of Creation: Explore Your Connection to Nature through a Nature – Based Body Mapping Workshop Sept 13-14 2024

Friday, September 13th from
7:00pm-9:30pm and Saturday, September 14th from
10am-5pm

Join St. George’s own Jillian Paschen and acclaimed art therapist Tatiana Peet in an immersive nature-based art therapy workshop where you can embark on a journey of self-discovery through body mapping. Dive deep into the interconnectedness of mind, body, and nature as you create a body-shaped map that integrates some of your key images and experiences. Body mapping allows us to explore and communicate the ideas and stories that live in our bodies. It can help us conceptualize ourselves as part of nature and part of God’s creation. It allows us to experience Indigenous spiritual concepts like interconnectedness with all things and supports us in processing eco grief resulting from settler-colonial practices that have led us to devalue the natural world–including our own bodies. This two-day workshop will take place on Friday, September 13th from 7:00pm-9:30pm and Saturday, September 14th from 10am-5pm at St. George’s Anglican Church, 11733 87 Avenue NW Edmonton, T6G 0Y4. No previous knowledge or artistic competence is required. Bring your curiosity and $150.00 Cdn to cover workshop fees and materials. A sliding scale is available if desired; see contact details below. Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided. Looking for further information? Have questions? Want to register?
