Art as Prayer -- Spiritually Focused Art Making

Description: Art making can be used for self expression, to explore a question, or create a wordless prayer. Working in community, we will seek creative outlets for communicating visually and allowing the process to unfold. Bring an idea or just and open mind and some curiosity- NO prior experience or skill required! This is a three session experience. 

Dates: 2/26, 3/5 and 4/9 at 945am-1145am

Cost: $18 for the whole series

Location: Community Room/South Building

Registration required (space is limited)

About Leah Friedman: Leah is an artist, therapist, and professor currently serving as faculty and Chair of the art therapy program at Naropa University. She has been training therapists and helping people utilize creative expression and healing for nearly 20 years. She enjoys making art, dancing, and tracking the phases of the moon. Leah is a foodie with lots of allergies, fundamentally pragmatic, yet deeply superstitious. She fiercely loves the blended biological and logical family she has cultivated with care and agony. She finds herself deep in the sandwich of middle-age with a partner, a freshly b’nai mitzvah-ed teenager, and a mother living with dementia in her home. She is a voracious reader, a very good listener, and a passionate advocate for equality.
