How We Do It

Lamp-making - with its components of art, craft, and creativity - can help free us from old patterns of thinking, sparking paradigm-shifts and inspiration. 

Our lamp-making process, with its emphasis on teamwork, helps participants connect in an informal setting, fostering community and conversations. 

But It’s Not Just About Lamp-making! 

About half of the workshop time is for sharing of stories and wisdom, for conversations, and for reflection.

In between sessions, participants desiring a deeper dive can explore supplemental materials. 

The Lamp

The lamps our participants make are designed to be beautiful whether lit or unlit. Unlit, the combination of handmade paper with natural materials provides a sculptural beauty. Lit, there is an instant and magical transformation. 

But It’s Not Just About the Lamp!

Yes, the finished lamps are beautiful. But it’s not simply about lamp-making. It’s about meaning-making, intention-making, and light-making. Yet, the lamp is the magical vehicle that allows our workshop participants to “bring the workshop” home with them, each lamp a glowing reminder of the intention and meaning each maker brings to their lamp-making.
