A new contemplation and crafting technique!
Saturday, June 22, 11:30am-1:00pm
hosted by Falona Joy and Genevieve Tremblay
Join Falona Joy and Genevieve Tremblay for an inspiring session at our Vision Cubing Workshop. Dive into this transformative experience where you will learn a new contemplation and crafting technique called Vision Cubing! Drawing inspiration from the elements of Sun, Wind, and Water, this engaging session combines physical crafting with virtual design to help you envision a new possibility—a “seed concept” that you want to blossom in your life.
Workshop Overview:
Origami Crafting: Begin by creating a physical cube using Sonobe origami techniques. Each face of the cube will represent a different aspect of your personality and/or vision, encouraging a holistic reflection. Select symbols, colors, and patterns inspired by sun, wind, and water that resonate with what inspires you, grounds you, motivates you, celebrates your past accomplishments, and highlights your intuitive and intellectual talents.
Intention Object: During the workshop, select, customize, or make an object that symbolizes a personal intention or aspiration. This object will serve as a physical reminder of your goals and dreams and will be placed inside your cube. Optionally, this could literally be a seed that you place in soil and nurture daily with sun and water.
Virtual Cube Creation: After crafting your physical cube, you will create a virtual counterpart. This digital space allows you to step into your visions using the same symbols, colors, and patterns chosen during the origami session. It’s a unique way to deepen your engagement with the elements and create your own personal sanctuary to support your visioning practice.
Feng Shui Integration: Learn how to incorporate the Feng Shui principles of sun, wind, and water to enhance your cube’s design, further aligning it with your aspirations and the natural world.
