Sacred Mask Play
Sacred Mask Play
"Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day." B. Dametto
-
Mask work is a powerful modality of expressive arts that develops creativity, play, curiosity, insight, and self-reliance. Once the mask has been created, it can become your friend, confidant, helper, and wise teacher. The mask is a personification- an extension of your psychology. Through mask work, you can bring light and intrigue into the shadows of your psyche. You can gain insight into the unrealized parts of yourself- the unprocessed traumas, the misguided personas, the fantasies, the dreams, etc. Mask-making and character development are direct, safe, and playful ways to access your archetypes. The possibilities are endless.
Healing Through the Creative Body

Here, we move into the realms of sacred clown and mask work. When people are called and ready to explore this expressive arts modality, I can lead them through a series of fun, unique, exploratory, and deep exercises. Essentially, this work explores archetypal personas.

Developing the creative body fosters a sense of freedom, playfulness, and mystery. It helps us to connect to our artistic nature, and childlike spontaneity and wonder. It puts us in direct communion with the Divine. Through this process, you will come to understand the inherent wisdom that the mask conveys- which is, in fact, your inner wisdom.

I have 20 papier mache masks for you to choose from and explore through my guided mask-play techniques. I am also available to teach you how to create your masks and use them as a tool for performance art and/or psychological exploration.
