Right Side Up Studio: 2009

Interstate sessions : creative spirituality

Right Side Up helps people make the connection between art and spirituality. Particularly focusing on the use of art and imagination to take them into transformative spaces.

RSU presented a day of creative spirituality for a community in NSW. Touching on themes of unity, healing and connection, the sessions encouraged participants to reflect on their spiritual journey as individuals, and as a group.

We facilitated opportunity for creative expression, reflection, alternative forms of prayer, and a space for shared storytelling. Meditation and reflection stations, individual doodle art and collage, combined with journal pages bound to create a lasting memento of the day's activities, offered a variety of ways for participants to engage their senses, and map their inner spiritual landscape.
