The Art of Sanctuary: Creating Morning Altars with Day Schildkret

The United Palace becomes an art sanctuary as a half-ton pile of dirt on the theatre’s stage is transformed into a work of impermanent nature art with locally foraged natural materials by internationally renowned artist, author, and educator Day Schildkret.

Day is the originator of Morning Altars, a seven-step practice embodying the healing powers of nature, art, and ritual. The impermanent altars provide a meaningful place to gather, reflect, remember, wonder, and celebrate art and nature.

Immerse yourself in the healing energy of nature, art, and ritual while Day creates an altar on stage. Soak in the contemplative space with live music & allow yourself to slow down.
Be inspired to build your own mini altar on the floor of the theatre with flowers, leaves, and various items from nature that will be provided at the event. Watch, listen, contemplate, meditate, and just be with what is.

The event will culminate with a talkback with Schildkret and a group ritual where all will be invited to join the artist on stage.

The event is FREE with registration.

3:00-6:00 pm: Open House

6:00-7:00 pm: Talkback with Day Schildkret

All are welcome to join on stage for a closing ritual.

7:00 pm: Dessert in the foyer.
