Create a Secret Box 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, and Nepal,
and to philosophy and education portals from Calcutta to Cambridge. A sculptor, mask
maker, mask performance artist, painter and printmaker, Suzanne draws inspiration from
the great mythic traditions, world history, literature, and life stories. A former Fulbright
Scholar (India, 1992), resident artist at Harvard University (1997) and recipient of
numerous grants and awards, she has been creating innovative locked and later to be
opened Secret Future Works for 17 years.
