Constructing Earth Paintings at The Yogatorium


Creating an Earth Painting is one of the most rewarding experiences one can have on a retreat. Spending time in nature and finding pieces that "speak" to you, arranging them, and  just appreciating the messages that arise can be a memorable event.  Here are two examples from my experiences.
If you build one you may also want to photograph it.  In practice, we ordinarily keep them and revisit one or two times before returning all the pieces to a natural setting, in other words, disassembling the unnatural arrangement after spending another few moments of just being with it.  And, you don't necessarily need to go deep into the woods.  One student even built an Earth Painting on her deck.

Still space left on Saturday, April 21.  Get your reservation in so you, too, can enjoy the experiences awaiting you at The Yogatorium.
