À propos

This Creative Retreat is inspired by the beauty of the Land around us.

Join other community members and facilitator, Lauren Aldred, to create a time of nurturance and deep connection within ourselves, the community, and the Land. The day’s activities will include a nature walk, gentle yoga, an easy art activity, and a creative writing exercise. There is no cost for this retreat day, and all participants aged 15+ are welcome. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. This event is free-of-charge.

Because the first workshop filled quickly, we are offering a second workshop on Sunday, September 21st.

Organisateur

Lauren Aldred - BC Culture Days Ambassador

Lauren Aldred’s primary relationship is with Creator, experienced through the Land; she enjoys this relationship through silence and listening, canoeing, snowshoeing, medicine gathering, hiking, and in time will rejoin the earth with peace.

Her heritage is English and non-status plains Indigenous.

She lives on a northern acreage with two dogs and six chickens. She is mother to four adults and grandmother to one little girl.

Lauren started writing poetry at fourteen months old when she dictated her first poem to her grandmother, about “red berries and mooses in the snow.” She has continued to write poetry throughout her life.

She began experimenting with acrylic flow in 2017, curious to what could be done with this artform. Acrylic flow is not laden with the burden of how it should be done and because of this encourages experimentation and play. As it moves, acrylic flow reveals the spiritual energy of the artist, plants, and the Land.

The Land where Lauren lives is incredibly beautiful, providing daily opportunities for breathtaking photography, if only with her IPhone 8.

She is an integrated person whose diverse aspects weave together: art, poetry, and caring for others in her work as exhibitor, counsellor, facilitator/teacher, and worship leader. For her, art is a community endeavour and she loves to encourage others to play with paint and with words, finding ways to express the soul.

Lauren is profoundly grateful to live, work and create on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of Nak’azdli Whet’un north of Fort St. James.
