Class Description
Do you know your inner Spirit Guide?
This retreat is an opportunity to journey into the dream time to meet and spend precious time with your Spirit Guide. During your visit you will seek gifts of guidance and purpose for this time in your life.
After journaling your experience you will work with a partner to create each other’s mask. Once your mask is dry and ready to be infused with the wisdom and gifts of your Spirit Guide, you will revisit your meditation asking for the gift(s) that will manifest through your mask.
No art experience is necessary.
Fee
$125 fee includes maskmaking material and a large variety of paints, fabrics, beads, feathers and more. Please collect and bring personal and meaningful items for your mask.
