Many cultures have creation stories about how the world began - whether it was the world for all beings or for a group of people in a particular place. During the first part of the workshop, we will learn about some creation stories from different cultures and see how they continue to speak to us over the years. Then, we will have some time to meditate on our own creation story and use the medium of our choice to create our own creation story! For some this might mean a written poem or song, for some a dance or movement, for others a drawing or painting, and so on. Finally, we’ll have the opportunity to share our creation stories (if we’d like) with each other. With creation stories, it's good to hear people tell them. It’s good to hear the voices speaking and singing the stories – that's part of the power of the stories – when the story is being sung or told. That's part of the creation. So we will have a chance to listen to each other’s creation stories!
Bring/Preparation:
- Your favorite creation supplies - your choice! For example:
-
- A notebook/pen for writing
- Scarves/clothing for movement
- Musical instrument/s for song
- Colored pencils, pastels, drawing paper for drawing
- Paints, brushes, paper for painting
- Collage images, glue, scissors for collage
- Clay, sculpey for sculpting
- Etc. - whatever YOU feel called to bring for creating your creation story!
- Be in a room that is quiet where you won’t be disturbed
