THE YAYA BOX PLAYSHOPS

I conduct playshops for women to discover more about themselves by decorating a YaYa Box. The first challenge is choosing the type and style of box. It must not be of a precious size (small enough to hold in your lap) and must have a lid. The outside of the box will be decorated with significant people, places, things, and animals that have had an impact on your life. The inside will represent the inner you – thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams. Much thought and contemplation go into the choices made in this series of classes. Guided meditation is used to stir memories of colors, patterns, people, and places that have mattered in your life. Time is spent independently between sessions, thinking in depth about the significance of these memories. The order of significance will be indicated on the box by using differing sizes of images. Boxes may be decorated with paint, markers, appliqué, upholstery, etc., to represent these important memories. Completing your YaYa Box can provide you with new insights into who you really are and why.
