As we continue to grow together and learn what it means to live in community, we will inevitably become vulnerable with one another. On this night, we concocted a community wreath, an ornament unlike any other CCSP community wreath. This weaving contained the finished products of us creatively expounding on our hopes, fears, expectations, and reactions to the upcoming semester. The wreath was made of Supplejack, a local vine that is known to grow in spirts. It is brilliantly green, but also changes its color and it's maleability - there are all kinds of community growth symbols to draw from this wreath - but mostly, it was just good to let ourselves be artistic for a little while as we learn more about each other.
Using natural elements, an assortment of art and craft supplies, and our own honest imaginations, students and staff shared briefly on their creation and then attatched it to the wreath. The finished wreath now hangs in front of our porch picture window, where we will be reminded throughout the semester of the hopes and concerns it symbolizes. (this is also my first ever blog post! Yes - love,matt)
