Masks of the Goddess: Maskmaking, Ritual, and the Goddess Within

I'm very pleased to offer an indepth workshop at the Kirpalu Institute in the beautiful Berkshires of Western Massachusetts for women as a Spring retreat. During these days of shared creativity and discovery, we'll have a chance to "re-myth" the stories of our lives by exploring the Goddess within - we'll make masks, and ignite our mythic imaginations with the stories they tell as we move into the vibrancy of Spring.

In this immersion workshop we will:

• Create a personal mask
• Gain an overview of mask techniques and traditions of temple mask use
• Learn approaches to ritual and performance
• Experience the transformative power of working with multicultural archetypes of the Goddess
• Make friends and learn ways to bring ritual theatre home to your own community.

Bring a sketchbook along with art supplies, found objects, photos, and costume materials. For information about the class and lodging at the Kripalu Institute, visit their website: http://www.kripalu.org.

"The masks of the goddess workshop was a pivotal event in my life, I just wanted to tell you that.....I have been feeling the Goddesses waking up ever since.....although none of us chose to focus on a specific goddess, they were there, definitely there."
