Creative Connections Workshop Creates Meaningful Experiences

Greg Colgan, Member, 29 Pieces Board of Directors

The August Creative Connections workshop brought many enlightening experiences to our participants. Our day began with an introduction to 29 Pieces, which are 29 Pieces of art, inspired by the sacred words and poetry from many ancient traditions.  

29 Pieces #11: Let Me Walk in Beauty

In a quiet and nurturing atmosphere, everyone meditated together and then created their own art, inspired by words from the poetry and books of the world's visionaries and mystics, such as St Therese of Lisieux, the Bible, Rabbi Abraham Isaac, Chief Yellow Lark and more. 

Artwork #11 (above) is created from Chief Yellow Lark's prayer entitled "Let Me Walk in Beauty."

"I loved the message and structure of the class.
I was amazed at how Karen was able to move people, provoke thoughts 

and guide us to find our creative side, even those of us who don't normally think we're creative!" Ramey Colgan

 "I am grateful for a day set aside for artful meditation and prayer-like creativity. The opportunity to simply be and make.  You have invited us into stillness and gratitude, and low and behold it's a salve to the dynamic static I often walk around it."  Melanie Ferguson

"It was calming.

It came at a time of great turmoil for me.

It strengthened me to face challenges ahead."
