This trip sounds amazing and I would be signing up if it didn’t conflict with a major event I coordinate for one of my jobs. So I am encouraging any of you who might be interested in traveling with a group of pilgrims for an experience that is sure to be filled with creative inspiration and spiritual depth:
One Equal Heart Foundation and the Grünewald Guild are co-sponsoring a trip to Chiapas, Mexico, March 6-21, 2010, for artists and people interested in exploring creativity and spirituality in this rich and ancient place. We will have two wonderful women artists accompany us as our artists-in-residence: Suzanne Halvorson, a fabrics artist and weaver, and Liz Caemmerer, a fabrics artist and painter. Mike Mains, a singer/songwriter, and Jeannie Berwick will facilitate daily reflection.
The trip will include multiple opportunities to express ourselves artistically, through weaving (we will all learn how to do some basic card weaving, according to Suzanne and Liz), drawing, painting, creative writing, and music-making. We will visit ancient Mayan ruins, the beautiful colonial city of San Cristóbal de las Casas, and points of natural beauty. We will also have various encounters with the Tseltal Maya as we share our creative and spiritual expressions.
