Limited to 24 participants. Registration and payment required by October 1 (812-944-7336). Creating or choosing an icon is a life-enhancing process, one that can help you move closer to Spirit. Resilience is also a process, one that uses a current challenge to help you become stronger and more in alignment with your truest self.  Rather than Penny's usual focus on artistic technique, this program will focus on the idea of icon in its broadest sense as a symbol or representation of something that can help you bring forth your own resilience as you face the challenges in your life now. Penny Sisto and Pamela Cotton will share personal experiences and their own paths to discovering internal resilience and participants will be invited to share their thoughts and experiences. Penny Sisto brings her years of working with symbols in her quilts where she weaves beauty and meaning with the stories of her own life and the lives of others. Pamela Cotton will share aspects of her work on resilience from her book Mindful Resilience:  Navigating the Labyrinth of Change in Times of Challenge. Come prepared to actively participate in a process of bringing together creativity and resilience, with guided times of quiet and moving into presence. This is not an art quilt workshop, but you will create a simple icon out of objects provided by Penny, such as bits of fabric, feathers and stones, to take with you to serve as a symbol of the experience of this program and your own internal resilience.
