Description:
The word Sigil means, a symbol imbued with magical power or meaning. In this workshop we will learn how to draw our own sigils for use in meditation. We will first identify our own positive affirmations that we would like to manifest, with discussion around the power of setting intentions, and choosing our affirmations carefully. Each participant will have time to reflect and choose an affirmation.
My intention is to share the skill of creating sigils in a drawing practice that values healthful mindfulness practices, as well as create a group meditation activity that is restorative and empowering.
Materials Provided.
People are advised to bring a Meditation Cushion, or Pillow for the Seated Meditation.

Description:
Through a basic tarot reading, this workshop will prepare people to start the process of writing an Advance Directive. End-of-Life planning, especially completing an Advance Directive, is important for everyone, no matter their age or health. This process, however, is daunting to many people. Preparing for death can raise fears and anxieties related to both the process of dying itself and the ways that we have lived. The tarot, as a symbolic language, can help us access our subconscious fears and desires, ultimately re-configuring these to tell a new story. Tarot can be a powerful tool in approaching death, and can act as a guide through difficult conversations about death.
About Sadie:
I earned an MFA in interdisciplinary art from California College of the Arts in 2013 where my practice primarily consisted of community-based art projects. While in graduate school, many of my projects engaged with issues surrounding aging and death. Since finishing my MFA, I have worked as an Activities Assistant and Teaching Artist in Memory Care, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing communities; currently I am the Director of the Performing Arts Institute at Stagebridge, a national pioneer in Creative Aging. I have also completed a training through INELDA (International End-of-Life Doula Association) to become an end-of-life doula, and am a volunteer with Compassion & Choices, an organization that educates people about their options at end-of-life. I have been reading tarot for almost 20 years, and have read publicly at YBCA, Kadist, Store Front Labs, and other venues in the Bay Area.
Color Therapy Based on Ayurveda and Vatsu (Indian Fung Shui) with Elke Savala

Description:
Learn about your mind-body type, what colors are most supportive for you and how to use color in your daily life and environment to increase well being.
Color in Ayurveda is recommended according to the individual mind-body type and to remedy current imbalances. Typically this means using opposites. If a person has a problem of a hot nature such as a inflammatory condition, cooling colors are called for. An anxious individual who suffers from insomnia and loneliness would benefit from earthy colors that help to ground their energy. A depressed person that is unmotivated may need more stimulating colors. The application of therapeutic color can include food, clothing, essential oils, gem stones and more. In Vastu (Indian Feng Shui) color is used to balance a living or business space.
According to Vastu, the five elements and the color associated with each element are most supportive when placed appropriately. For example, fire (red) in the SE is ideal for a kitchen. Of course that is not always possible in existing homes and it depends upon the use of the room in terms of how much of a particular color is appropriate. Just a dash of the right color in artwork and symbology or an accessory can be sufficient to strengthen the element and balance the energy.
