THE ART
SANCTUARY

CREATING MORNING ALTARS
WITH DAY SCHILDKRET

The United Palace became an Art Sanctuary on August 13!

A half-ton pile of dirt on the theatre’s stage was transformed with locally foraged natural materials into a work of impermanent nature art
by internationally renowned artist, author & educator Day Schildkret.

All of our at-home livestream viewers, followed along the Moments below
& shared in the experience like our in-person audience.

Moment 1:

What are you leaving behind?

Is there something you are ready to let go of? A fear or worry? A regret? A grudge? An old story? Write it down & leave it behind. Then feel lighter as you move into your day, open to the possibility of transformation.

Moment 2:

Relax. Replenish. Be with what is.

Find a seat. Rest your mind & body. Contemplate. Meditate. Take it all in. Put on your favorite soothing music or simply open a window & let the sounds of nature fill your ears. Slow down & just breathe.

Moment 3:

Step into inspiration.

Take a closer look at the artist’s creative process on livestream. Get inspired by the patterns, beauty & ideas that are flowing through him. Watch each natural material transform into a new work of art for now, just for this moment.

Moment 4:

Express yourself.

Could you feel the inspiration? Allow that feeling to flow through you & create your own mini altar. Is this altar an offering to someone or something? Is it an expression of love, loss or gratitude? Create from the heart. Let your imagination play.

Moment 5:

Create meaning.

Listen & learn about the Morning Altars process with insights directly from the artist. Watch us on stage as we infuse this moment with meaning and magic in a closing ritual. Feel the presence of the great mystery. Do you feel differently than when you tuned in today? Thank you for going on this journey with us all!
