As has become the tradition at the Carmelite Centre, we are holding a Symposium late in May: Thursday 23rd, Friday 24th, and Saturday 25th.
This year’s Symposium engages with the inner journey and how it can be manifested outwardly. It’s about how each one of us uses art forms – painting, drawing, journaling, writing, music, movement – as means to spiritual exploration and expression.
The workshops are an invitation to creative involvement and taking time out; about personal growth, experience, and relationship.
The presenters are facilitators who, using their own skills, enable participants to shift their thinking and take on new possibilities.
A detailed program is below. Bookings are now open.https://www.trybooking.com/485686
