The Farms: Creating an Individual Path to Wholeness
During this one-day gathering led by Mary Ryan, concepts of personal growth and wholeness are first learned through the use of film clips, art, poetry, myth and more. Then, through the use of writing, art, poetry, and music, each participant will work on their personal expression of wholeness. And finally, the participant shares their creation with the group if they choose.
Choose from two sessions: Friday, Nov. 17 (10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) or Friday, Dec. 15 (10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.) in the Mansion Library.
