Medicine Bag: Sacred Pieces of Your Story with Marga Fripp
Join us for a meaningful and creative journey as we create a personal medicine bag, a sacred vessel for the treasures, wisdom, blessings, and experiences that nourish our spirit and connect us to our deepest selves.
Through expressive arts, storytelling, reflection, collage, writing, and creative exploration, we will gather and honor the people, places, memories, traditions, and sources of strength that continue to guide our lives.
What to bring:
A small cloth bag or pouch along with meaningful photographs, stories, blessings, keepsakes, and symbolic objects that honor your life journey, ancestry, and sources of wisdom, strength, and healing. Make copies of all photographs or letters as we will alter them.
No artistic experience is necessary. All are welcome.
✨ Come gather the sacred pieces of your story and discover the medicine that has been with you all along.
