Upcoming Events
HeartSong - Our Creation Stories - July 24
Friday, July 24, 2026 at 7:00pm - 9:00pm - Eastern Time ON ZOOM
Join me for a Zoom workshop where we will create our own creation story!
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 hear some creation stories from different cultures and see how they continue to speak to us.
Then, we will take time to tune into our psyche about our own creation stories. Our creation stories may be related to significant moments in our life - our births, our coming of age, an experience that shaped us into who we are/who we are becoming.
With the medium of our choice, we will be invited 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 or collage, and so on. Then, 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 the voices speaking and singing the stories, to see the bodies moving – that's part of the power of the stories – when the story is being sung or told or danced. That's part of the creation. So we will have a chance to listen to and witness each other’s creation stories!
