Do you love art but consider yourself to be a less than great artist?  Do you want to mix art with journaling?  If you can answer “Yes!” to any of these questions\, this workshop is for you! \nWhat will we do?  Using scissors\, pre-cut mat boards\, glue sticks and abundant images\, your hands and heart will move together as you create two 5”X 8” cards.  Following the simple SoulCollage® directions\, you will play with fragments of images\, fitting them together in surprising ways.  The images that you select—or those images that select you—will come straight from your soul\, bypassing your mind and yielding powerful insights.  You will have permission to make cards in your own way\, and permission to share your cards within a safe and welcoming community. \nWhat do I need to bring?  If you have some favorite images that you have been saving\, bring those.  Images can come from magazines\, old books\, photos\, greeting cards\, post cards\, or other sources.  Mat boards\, glue sticks\, pens\, paper and lots of images will be provided in the cost of the workshop.  If you have a good pair of scissors\, please bring those.  There will also be some scissors available at the workshop. \nWho is leading it?  Deborah Lindeen is a psychotherapist\, art therapist and spiritual director in private practice in Houston.  She is a certified SoulCollage® facilitator. Her passion is in helping people to show up in life as their very best Self\, that Self that is able to be connected\, compassionate\, creative\, and courageous.  By blending insights from psychology\, art\, and spirituality\, Deborah will guide you in this rich experience of self-discovery.

SUMMARY:Re-IMAGE-ING MARY MAGDALENE ART SHOW
DESCRIPTION:This July Brigid’s Place welcomes artists from around the world to Re-IMAGE Mary Magdalene and create original works of art that portray the woman who was a beloved friend to Jesus\, and a woman capable of turning “hearts toward the good.” For too many centuries the story of Mary Magdalene has been incorrectly told\, painting her as a penitent sinner. The landmark show is part of Brigid’s Place’s month-long The Many Faces of Mary Magdalene Festival dedicated to reshaping the Magdalene’s legacy. Mary Magdalene was a woman like so many women today. She was a woman of devotion\, love\, bravery\, wisdom\, and power. Re-IMAGE-ing Mary Magdalene is a remarkable opportunity to experience through art that in Mary Magdalene’s story\, we can also find our own story. \nJoin Brigid’s Place for a profoundly moving showcase of twenty-four varied artists working in different mediums this July. The opening reception will be held at the Cloister Gallery on Friday Evening July 10\, 2015 from 6-8pm. There will be brief remarks from participating artists\, information about the life of Mary Magdalene\, the festival\, and refreshments for guests. \n“Not Your Mama’s Pearls” \nArt Reception\nThe Cloister Gallery\, Christ Church Cathedral\nJuly 10\, 2015 6-8pm \n1117 Texas Ave. \nHouston\, TX 77002\nAttire: Vintage Accessories and Pearls\nFree Parking Available in San Jacinto St. Garage  \n

We are thrilled to have Katherine join us. \n\nKaren Walrond\nFeatured StoryTeller \nKaren Walrond is an author and photo essayist. Karen’s bestselling book\, The Beauty of Different\, is a chronicle of imagery and portraiture\, combined with written essays and observations on the concept that what makes us different makes us beautiful — and may even be the source of our superpowers. \nA sought-after keynote and TEDx speaker\, Karen has spoken around the United States and abroad on the topic of thriving\, through leadership development\, the magic of creativity\, the valuing of cultural and racial diversity\, and the power of social media.
