“Art As Therapy” Peace Stick Making Workshop

Peace (or prayer) sticks are sacred objects used across various cultures, from indigenous American traditions (like Hopi, Navajo) to Ainu (Japan) & Christian practices – serving as physical anchors or messengers for prayers, offerings or intentions – often adorned with symbolic items like feathers, sacred herbs or carved designs. Peace sticks are used during meditation, rituals or family prayer time to focus the mind & connect with spirits or the divine.

Licensed Art Therapist, Barbara Greenwood returns to Twisted Fish this spring with creative outlets for those wanting to create with purpose with a community of friends. Guests will create their own peace sticks & process the experience with the group. We will also explore building a community peace stick for the Twisted Fish gardens.
