Rose Sangha: The Tree of Life
We will continue the connection between story, art and nature as a we turn to at the wisdom of trees. Kayleen offers a brief cross cultural overview of trees in myth and religion, from Huluppa (Inanna) to Yggdrasil (Norse), the Buddha to Mary Magdalene. Bulgarian iconographer Tatiana Nikolova Houston shares the moving story of how creating images of the Tree of Life became the bridge of blessing between herself and her dying father. We conclude with British art therapist Polly Paton Brown who will unveil the deep symbolism behind the way trees were used to mark the months of the year in the Celtic tradition -- and then guide you towards practices she has developed that have brought healing and solace to her clients by combining nature and creative arts.
