  • Exploring Meaning Through Art & Patterns with Laura Sirmul

    Shawnigan Lake Community Centre - 2804 Shawnigan Lake Road

    This class will invite you to look inward to explore the ground of curiosity and ease through discussion and meditation, discovering our personal symbology through self-inquiry, collaborating with the natural world. In this space of deep slow relaxation our creativity can blossom. We will use paint, collage, and printmaking to take away an art piece that will offer us meaning and understanding.
