"We swing between grief and joy most of our lives as we respond to and deal with the life events that ultimately shape us."

This 2-day workshop uses bodycasting as a process of creation, reverence and profound intimacy with the physical being of human form. Led by joyologist Pat Armistead, you will engage in storytelling, artistic representation, explore symbolism and then develop a cast piece which is decorated symbolising your transformation and path forward.

You will experience joyful empowerment as you discover:
- What it takes to live a life full of love and joy;
- How to find meaning in your grief and loss-joyology;
- How to deal with life events with equanimity;
- How to forgive and release anger and resentment;
- How to continue to love in spite of loss;
- How to create art that symbolises your current or future position;
- How to connect to your life purpose.

The program is conducted in a pristine, high trust environment and uses the healing power of humour, intimacy and art, along with ceremony and ritual adding beauty and reverence to the process. The entire program is choreographed to music creating a tranquil space of peace and healing.

Pat worked for 12 months with Jungian psychotherapists casting and exploring myths, legends and fairy tales and uses this and ancient symbolism to create the artistic end product.
