Community Celebrations Workshop
How do we awaken people to the wonder and awe of celebration and ceremony and draw diverse individuals together to share a common experience, which will both enrich their communities and build partnerships? By bringing together artists, performers and the public, a collaborative approach to creating celebrations can be transformational, as the community recognizes its own creative abilities, reflects on its identity and speaks with a shared voice.
This workshop is aimed at community groups and organizations who are interested in deepening the connectedness of communities by providing an understanding of the importance of engagement and participation.
Embracing Creativity Workshop
How to rediscover your creative DNA. Dolly will take participants through a series of fun activities and exercises intended to open the doors to the creative self, and support participants in their abilities to reflect and act on their own creativity.
This workshop is aimed at businesses, educational institutions, and organizations who are interested in supporting the creative capacity of their employees/members.
Rituals, Myth-Making and Celebration Workshop
Ritual and Celebration are integral to the human experience. But how do we awaken ourselves to the wonder and awe of ceremony, ritual, and celebration in our everyday lives? In this workshop, Dolly will draw your attention to what we already experience as daily celebrations, share ways to expand the meaning and scope of your own personal rituals, and build appreciation of how rituals and myth making connect us to the life force of wellness within our families and communities.
Dolly will take participants through a series of fun activities and exercises that focus on self-discovery and exploration, nourishing our sense of well-being and allowing us to access the creative part of ourselves that can become dormant in the business of day-to-day life.
This workshop is great for conferences, community workshops, small groups, and others who have an interest in personal health and wellness.
