Renewal Retreat Workshop
Symbolic Death, as in a Chrysalis... to then emerge as a butterfly...Descents into the underworld take a person into the realm of death, transformation, and rebirth. When in a descent, something that has been buried in the psyche may be unearthed, re-membered, and brought to life. There is a possibility of a spiritual or psychological resurrection.
Excerpt from the book, Close to the Bone by Jean Shinoda Bolen
Through creative process, the art of making and sharing ideas with others we can transform negativity. This has been my life practice.
