Mask Making: A Journey into the Mystery of SelfA Two Day Workshop With Emily Hanlon
Last
summer I traveled to California to work with Ronda La Rue, spiritual
healer and master mask maker. I had long been drawn to mask making,
and although I had never made a life mask, I had made masks on molds.
These were fun, but I knew a life mask, one made on my face, would
open up depths of experience unlike any other. It was mask making
that originally drew me to Ronda.
Making the mask of "She I Am Becoming" (shown above) opened
a passageway into self that resonates daily. I hung the mask at the
top of my stairs and we commune daily!! I can't avoid her. And sometimes,
I simply stand and gaze at her, or watch her gazing at me, calling to
me, teaching me... I love this mask. I have made others since and each
evokes a very different response in me. There is one that I believe
smirks at me. She knows something, that mask does. One day, I'm going
to find out exactly what!!! Or View the Photos from the last Mask Making Workshop:
