In this workshop we will deepen our understanding of our connection to the natural animate world. In the first part of the workshop we will look at our need for meaning in life and how our sense of meaning has evolved over time. We will then use the archetype of the mandala to explore how we are meaningfully connected to the world and explore stories, both old and new, that describe our integral place in the world. The workshop includes experiential exercises that will help us reconnect to the sacred in our everyday world.
