CREATE A SECRET FUTURE BOX FOR YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS
A weekend or five-day workshop with Suzanne Benton
Take charge of your life with self-created symbols and stories in this
process-oriented workshop of personal focus and transformation. You will
experience imagery, improvisation and sharing techniques that will help you to
define and deepen your values and articulate your hopes and dreams for the future.
The structure, design and decoration of your simple to make Secret Future Box will
then effortlessly take its unique form.
This is a "hands on" creativity workshop that taps into our archetypal legacies and
the processes of self-discovery. Guided imagery and journaling help you to unfurl
and clarify your life story, bringing you more deeply into your inner wisdom where you
then decide what to retain and what to shed in your life. Thus, you give project and
strengthen your future possibilities. Group exercises stimulate your focus as you
create the shapes, symbols and writings to place in your self-created secret box.
Symbolic objects touch the root of consciousness and are traditionally preserved
and revered. In this spirit, we seal our personal boxes at the close of the workshop.
They will remain closed until opened at a future date chosen by its creator. In the
interim, the box and its hidden messages become gentle reminders of our
cherished values.
Participants bring personally selected materials for stitching, joining and coloring.
Some materials will be provided, and an additional supply list will be sent to bring
to the workshop.
SUZANNE BENTON is a multi-culturalist whose venues as an artist and workshop
leader, stretch beyond her native New York City to cities and villages in Africa, India,

stories. A former Fulbright Scholar (India, 1992), resident artist at Harvard University
