Summer “Soul-stice”   Expressive Arts workshop Sue Mistretta and Lynn Miller Saturday June 20th 10am – 5pm    Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, providing us with the most Light of any day. It also happens to be the day when the shortest shadow is found. Using this as a metaphor for our personal and spiritual growth journey, we will create a day of celebration and purification. Using expressive arts, we will explore our soul longings through painting, sound and movement. We will make this Soul-stice an opportunity to let go of the “old story” we each carry in our lives…even if just for a moment. Only when we let go, are we open to possibilities that exist in our lives. We will shed light on the most meaningful parts of our lives and give these parts of us a voice. Cost for the workshop is $100 and includes lunch and all workshop materials. Early bird special – $90 if you sign up before June 6th!   Additional information and registration: SpiritArts.US
