Life is full of things that rise and fall, flourish and decay, bloom, wither and die away. Local author Cynthia Rafetto Kreilick uses her book The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town to explore how we care for people and things in times of vitality and decline, and how we process the emotions that grip us. Cynthia wrote The Rise and Fall of Sandcastle Town as a tribute and a catharsis, watching her elderly mother and her home of 62 years decline with age. Following the reading and discussion, participants create artwork, using mixed media, that prompt conversation about their own tools for processing grief and healing the heart. Participants receive a complimentary copy of Cynthia's book.
