Altered Books: Making Tangible Our Personal and Prophetic Narratives
August 18 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
An event every week that begins at 12:30 pm on Sunday, repeating until September 8, 2024
Jul 14 – Sep 8, 2024
*Note: no group class the week of September 1. You will have the opportunity to schedule a personal check-in between August 25 and September 7.
Come and join a safe and brave online learning community while you explore a personal narrative that wants to be shared. Altered Bookmaking is an interactive art form where we recreate a book into our own work of art and story. Within us there is that of God and that of ourselves. Making an altered book can hold a truth that comes from our whole self.
As a member of our altered book community, you will learn altered bookmaking techniques, how to dig deep and reflect the integrity of your story, and how sharing your book with others can extend Spirit’s message through you into a wider landscape. We will journey together in this process, practicing skills in pilgrimage, discernment, letting go, crossing a threshold, transformation, and integration.
This program offers opportunities to draw, paint, collage, craft pop-ups and other architectural techniques, journal, and explore creativity in community. While techniques will be taught, participants will have the flexibility and autonomy to choose which experiences are right for them, their books, and their stories.
