Wow, I loved the descriptions of your space. I requested the book about your Columbus experience of living on the streets and now the candles will hold more meaning. The stitching on that quilt has always caught my eye. I loved this riff. I also am surrounded by items made by family members, wood furniture, a crewel embroidery. Handmade speaks to me.
Phyllis, your riff helps me to slow down — and think —- about my studio space. What a delight to hear about the sacred objects behind you. I’ve wondered about their significance. Thank you for sharing the stories about what your “true spot” means to you.
I loved this! Especially the wooden carving which is very joyful— also loved that it was wobbly! This rid made me want to write about the things I keep in my creative space that have meaning for me— none of which are viewable when I’m on camera, which made me wonder if I might be able to change that…
I really love that you made Zoom a sacred space for yourself. I know over the pandemic people had to get up to speed with online meetings, learning, etc. They also became very burned out on the online meetings, learning, etc. For me, being online with others is a lifeline. I have loved meeting people across the globe who tune in for the same content as I do. There has been something very meaningful in that process. For me, I also have a shrine of sorts in my office. Colorful art pieces, a beautiful Zen altar carved of wood, candles, gemstones, essential oils and a little wooden cross that belonged to a dear friend. While some chaos ensues in this collection, it makes me stop and look and enjoy some moments in my day. From a piece in my collection: "and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."
I listened the other morning, and knew I wanted to come back a reply when I had more time. I so appreciate the notion of creating sacred space. Teaching on zoom during lockdown gave me a whole new sense of how that background shapes MY entry into a zoom session. I loved learning about what creates that space for you, Phyllis. I feel very blessed these days when I look around my home-- at 61, I am a first time home buyer of just under 3 years. Everywhere my eye rests there is a treasure, an altar of love and gratefulness. ❤️
Thank you for sharing about your intentional sacred space which has inspired me to seek my own. All places have a sacredness to them...
