Today I facilitated a Playshop, not workshop : ) at the Oxley Retreat Centre for the AIDS Committee’s annual retreat.  We had a wonder-full time! The goal for the program today was to inspire imagination, play, curiousity, creativity and in-the-moment expression.  I wish I had photos of the crazy faces we made in our “pass the mask” game!  However, what I do have are a few photos of some of the deep, heart-felt and light creations made by a few of the participants.  They were invited to create an art-object that embodied or translated their “healing place” or their “power place.”   

The power place comes from a session they completed earlier in the day where they were to reflect on times they felt powerful and powerless… I invited the group to focus on their power-place and re-create it visually with the art materials.  The healing place is different for everyone; it is usually a place that brings renewal, relaxation, safety, health, inspiration and love.
