Waking the Wick
Dear Friends,
We’re excited to welcome in this new year with a circle together for another “Sweetness of Circles” conversation and creative endeavour at Arts Nursery in Port Kells called “Making Space-Drawing Wick”
This is an invitation to explore the idea of ‘Wick’ at our 8th in the series of 13 public engagement art making experiences. Wick; a porous structure to draw and transport elements, is commonly related to trees as a way to detect life. We also consider other meanings and playfully apply it to regenerative forces in the body, becoming Wick to draw up new energy and then translate this through free form art on a collaborative 18’ mulberry paper scroll.
Saturday February 7 @12:30 pm to 3 pm
Arts Nursery 8940 192 St Surrey BC ( Port Kells)
Be there early, ready for a 12:30pm walk through Arts Nursery to connect with the land and meet the plants in their lovely setting in the trees. At 1pm we will shelter in the “Annuals Greenhouse’ for a SOC meditative immersion and visualization, conversation and scroll making. Making Space-Drawing Wick may include some gentle movements, adaptable to all abilities. (please ask at front desk for directions to the Annuals Greenhouse)
Delighted to see new and returning faces, and appreciating each of you for your unique contributions to this project of the heart.
We are offering this workshop @ no fee to thank all of you, from both of us, for your continued support in all the various ways it appears; words of encouragement, whether virtually or in person, donations, your stories, your insights and feedback, and everyday actions that you weave with the care of reciprocity, in the interconnected web of life.
Please RSVP and ‘Reply All’ to include both Tracie and Teresa.
