Soul Friend Studio
SOUL FRIEND STUDIO
In the Celtic tradition, an Anam Cara is a soul friend — someone who meets you with compassion, walks alongside you, and sees you as you truly are. Soul Friend Studio is a space to create, a one-hour contemplative offering in the midst of a noisy world. Creative expression helps us quiet the mind and tune in to the sacred. Together we will experience how process-oriented creative expression can help us access parts of ourselves that words and thinking alone cannot reach.
Our time together will include poetry, music, and a simple contemplative watercolor activity.
Please RSVP so we will have enough supplies!
The cost for Soul Friend Studio is free, but you will have an opportunity to give in support of CCJ.
