Hey Everyone! I would like to share with everyone a project that we have started! It is called "The Hands Kit -- Connected by Love." It started when my boss and friend, Nancy Noyes', brother John was diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoma. Her siblings and her were having a rough time, as no one was a match for bone marrow transplant. Nancy, who is an art consultant, has always believed in Constructive Healing: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. She made an art in healing project "The Hands Kit" based off of this idea. As her brother was fighting cancer, it was hard for all of the siblings to be there at once. Nancy had each sibling and her parents identify themselves as one of natures elements, and then trace their hands on handmade paper in the color of each element. The hands were then placed in a circle where: Metal holds Water Water feeds Wood Wood fuels Fire Fire enriches Earth Earth Creates Metal It turned out to be a really neat art project, AND ultimately it connected their entire family to John during his battle! We now have made this project available as a Kit, with instructions on how to make the kit, meanings of the elements, the handmade paper, and a background sheet that has icons of each element placed in a circle. I really am passionate about this project, and would love to have the youth of our country help me make this a project tbe recognized nationally as well as internationally. It can be used for support groups, non-profits, new babies, weddings, deaths, team building, fundraising, and so much more! Please check out my website www.constructivehealing.com I would love to hear feedback and know of some projects, causes, and organizations that you guys are involved with! Maybe we can become strategic partners!! Write back on here, or email me at:
Support The Ones you Love!
