San Diego
Life as we know it emerged from the sea billions of years ago and the human connection to our oceans is still apparent. Especially in San Diego where our amazing beaches and bays draw residents and visitors alike, how do we understand this amazing confluence of land and ocean?
What do the ancient goddesses and gods have to teach us about our oceans and what they need from human beings at this point in the evolution of the planet?
Using mythic narratives of sea gods and goddesses, insights from Depth Psychology, and writing/drawing exercises, we will explore an imaginative understanding of the challenges facing our oceans and the creatures within the sea.
Please bring paper to write/draw on and your writing/drawing implement of choice.
Suggested donation: $10 per person; no one turned away for lack of funds. Cash/Check only day of the event. Rain cancels.
The workshop takes place at Hospitality Point from 9:00 a.m. until noon west of the Gazebo at one of the two picnic tables between the Gazebo and the final small dirt parking lot. We will be able to gaze at the open sea and feeling the wind. Dress warm as it can be cold out here.
***RAIN CANCELS.***
Plenty of free parking.
MTS Bus #8 stops at the north end of Quivera Basin (West Mission Bay Drive @ Quivera Road going south or West Mission Bay Drive @ Dana Landing Road going north). We will be at the south end. It is about a one mile walk along the water from the closest bus stop to where we will be located. It’s a lovely walk around Quivera Basin. If you need a ride, please comment on this event at least a few days before so we can get you out here and back.
If we are a big group, people will need to bring chairs or be prepared to sit on the ground. There are restrooms and water fountains available on site.
