class break down :

* 5 people per class

* Materials- COPPER wire 16g and 24g, various stone chip beads.

* Tools- needle noise pliers, round noise pliers, wire cutter ( if you have any of these tools at home and would prefer to use your own or gain practice/ better familiarize yourself with them, by all means bring them )

So why trees? What is the Tree of Life anyway?

Trees have been an endearing and respected symbol throughout the ages and in many cultures. Representing not only the connection we have to our loved ones both present and deceased as a Family Tree but also through the connection we have to our Mother Earth and the natural cycles of growth. To me, the Tree of Life is Medicine, signifying our roots that are buried deep to support our strong trunk- the core containing our heartwood. The branches embody our inner search for Truth and Knowledge- reaching out and searching. Our leaves find and are nurtured by the Light; touching the crown's of our fellow Trees all around while nourishing our bodies at the same time. The fruit is what we produce when our needs are met- with the gift of new potential in its seeds that gives of itself. So these little tree pendants are a nice reminder of our own personal life’s journey and all the lessons learned along the way with hope and promise of sunny days to come.
