life stories: the work of our hands retreat

gathered among women, sharing stoires. 
sharing laughter, sharing tears. 
sharing food and laughter. walking the beach, watching the moon. 
witnessing the sun set. 

using our hands to create, even though that may not come natural.  
working from spaces of vunerability, we share what comes from within. 

our hands touch the work we create. we care for our hands as we create 
and bless one another as we witness such creations. 

clothespins hold pure goodness. shared stories in color and image. 

a table set for worship. a table set to feast. a table that has been prepared 
after we have blessed each others hands, holding them 
and looking into each other's eyes. sharing words and breathing together, 
we share words that affirm and bless.  we share stories of how these hands 
have held our own, bringing blessing to our life and blessing to others.  
we witness the work of our hands and each other's hands. 

this retreat was such a spirit-filled experience.  
i will continue to reflect on this meaningful time among sacred souls for weeks and months to come.
