Agenda
🕑: 09:30 AM - 10:30 AM
Dropping In To The Creative Process
Host: Carrie Friddell, MT-BC, NMT
Info: We'll bring our brainwaves down into the creative process through experiencing singing bowls, breathing techniques (heart-space, sunshine, and rhythmic breathing) and movement. A guided meditation with a music background will help us set our intentions for the day. We'll take a morning break to journal, walk, explore, and settle into the space.
🕑: 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Seeds of Change
Host: Carrie Friddell
Info: We'll create together, color personal egg shakers and find our personal rhythm. There'll be lots of "play time" while we connect through "Follow the Leader," communicate through call and response, and transition through movement, dancing, humming, and Mantra singing along the path from the Main Retreat House to The Well. Once in the Well, we'll drum together and lift our voices in rhythmic chanting. We'll wrap up with a check-in on how the morning's experiences are resonating in you.
