Tiny Travel Altar Workshop: An Introduction into Meditative Art

Join Rachael from The Spirit of Ray for this beginner-friendly workshop where you'll craft your own Tiny Travel Altar. This session offers a quiet introduction into art meditation as we transform a small wooden container into a sacred shrine. Guided by feeling, we'll decorate and select small treasures - vessels, candles, and crystals to nestle into our portable sanctuaries.
This altar is designed to fit easily into small spaces making it perfect to accompany you on your travels. Wherever you roam this tiny altar serves as a sacred anchor when you are called to ground, meditate, mourn, or pray.
These two hours of intentional making is perfect for anyone seeking a softer pace, connection to community, and meaningful creativity. If you feel inspired, bring along any tiny treasures from home that you'll like to weave into your creation.
