Create a Personal Altar for Transformation

Altars offer a simple yet profound—and deeply personal—way to focus an intention or desire. Using the 5-Element theory of Vastu Shastra (a sister science to Ayurveda), we will each create a personal altar with the focus of supporting transformation.

Things of beauty and joy, altars are a wonderful way to remind yourself of what you are working towards and to keep bringing you back regardless of life’s many distractions.

Color, light, fragrance, texture, direction, imagery and balance are all used in creating an altar, be it plain or exuberant. Class instructor Katrina Svoboda Johnson has created many altars over the years. Some of them live on windowsills with only a few objects; others are sprawling endeavors spilling over with life.

*Please bring with you a small personal item that represents transformation. This can be an image or object. This can be something that you have created or that has been given to you. You will use this as one element in the creation of your altar.
