The CRAFT OF SACRED SPACE: elements in creating portable, permanent, dedicated and working altars

Altars have been used throughout history to serve as a focal point for spiritual connection. From the most ornate that may be found in places of community worship to the most humble that could be found tucked in the corner of a small home, altars have a virtually infinite variety of form.

For those who engage in a conscious and intentional relationship with the Divine, altars are a wonderful way of reflecting that relationship through the use of symbols and meaningful objects in dedicated space.

This informative workshop introduces all the elements necessary for creating and maintaining sacred space at home inside, at home outside, in a community setting or in a work environment, including:
  • Formal and informal altars
  • Traditional and modern altars
  • Altars of different traditions and cultures
  • How to determine what kind of altar to create
  • When to craft a working altar and when to create a dedicated altar
  • Standard, creative and "sneaky" altar elements
  • How to establish and maintain safe space for and around your altar
