Smudging Fan Workshop - December 2007
Participants selected handles, feathers and other materials and then created
their very own smudging fans. Afterward each participant did a small dedication
ceremony for their new healing tool.

I loved seeing how each person created such a unique piece of art during this process. Each fan was different and reflected the creator. The community created during the process was wonderful as well. I hope to do similar workshops in the future.
