The Box

We unconsciously build metaphorical boxes to contain ourselves so that we can fit in or be accepted by others. Our fear is the architect, but our own hands join the construction.  Fear would have us believe the box will keep us safe.  But, in the end, what we thought was shelter becomes a cage that we are far too expansive to inhabit.

“Great lions can find peace in a cage. But we should only do that as a last resort.

So those bars I see that restrain your wings, I guess you won’t mind if I pry them open.”

-Rumi

In this workshop, we will use the creative process to explore the idea that these boxes we believe we must live in for safety are not only unnecessary, but are too cramped to encompass the immensity of our souls.
