Workshop Description
The title of this workshop, Everything Blossoms from Within” is inspired by the poet Galway Kinnell. In his poem “Saint Francis and the Sow,” he puts these the words “self” and “blessing” together to create “self-blessing.” With dedicated time and place, our work is a kind of “self-blessing,” and blossoms from within.
In this class, we focus on putting unlikely words together—self-blessing, mind-weeds, shadow-practice — in visual, auditory and poetic ways. We use ink, watercolor, and graphite and incorporate this work into a handmade book.

Workshop Location
This workshop is held on The University of Rhode Island main campus, which was originally held by the indigenous Narragansett people. It is seven miles from the Atlantic Ocean and its pristine beaches, 17 miles from Newport, and 30 miles from Providence.
Attendance:
This workshop is reserved for participants who can attend all three days.
Electronics:
This class is reserved for those adventurers who are free and willing to leave phones, watches and any other electronics or time pieces outside the classroom. (This is a revolutionary idea in these times, but it is wonderful to reconnect with the part of ourselves that emerges in this sacred space, and it does make a difference to have them absent, not just off.)
