Sacred and Creative

The Sacred and Creative function within ELC, exists to promote a greater awareness and appreciation of the spiritual dimensions of life. The emphasis on creativity corresponds, in that such an awareness is only deepened by participation.

Hence we host a quarterly Poets Corner, hold meditation workshops, run an Artist in Residence program each year and regularly have forums where a guest speaker will share from both a knowledgeable and experiential back ground.

There is no expected nor imposed belief system associated with Sacred and Creative events. We seek to honour where people are at and to jointly learn from that perspective.

Artist in Residence
For one week during the second half of the year, we have enjoyed the opportunity to interact with various artists: poet - Mark Burrows, musician - Robin Mann, and visual artist - Doug Purnell, to discover how they express their understanding and meaning for life through their creativity. It is anticipated that this year we will explore the art of Movement and Rhythm.

November 9th – 16th

There may also be  a chance to catch up with Mark Burrows again, as he joins us for a weekend in late August.

Bringing Life to Death
A seminar designed to explore our own attitudes to death, and ways we can be supportive to those around us who are having to face this through their own illness or that of a friend or family member.
This evening will be facilitated by two highly qualified people, Elizabeth Keam and Margaret Brown, who have a wealth of practical  experience in the field of palliative care, and end of life issues.

The Sacred and Creative function within ELC exists to promote a greater awareness and appreciation of the spiritual dimensions of life. The emphasis on creativity allows a variety of means for deepening awareness through participation.

There is no expected, nor imposed belief system associated with Sacred and Creative events. We seek to honour where people are at and to jointly learn from that perspective.
