“Spirit Mask” 2-Day Mask-Making Workshop with Elizabeth Gayles
On this mask-making journey, we discover how the mask is a portal to different parts of Self. Sometimes it is a part we are ready to relinquish; other times is a part of Self waiting to be revealed. We can also make a mask to mark a birth or death, a new year, a new season. We can make them for the simple joy of the process. No experience necessary. Join us for this 2-session workshop as we make masks for healing, joy, empowerment, and fun.
Sliding scale $50-$75 (no one ever turned away for lack of funds). |
