What is a Transformation Griddle?

The Transformation Griddle...

Those of you who joined us for the 2010 Summer Rhythm Renewal may recognize the object above. This rusty old camping tool served as the container for note cards which contained statements from participants about things (habits, patterns, relationships, behaviors, jobs, etc.) they were choosing to let go of. 

The griddle was then placed over a flame and the cards were burned. At the end of our ceremony, I held up the griddle to show each person how the energy of the fire had burned away (transformed) these cards. By courageously engaging something challenging in their lives, each individual took a vital first step in creating real transformation within themselves. 


 
If there is something in your life that you know is no longer working for you, I'd like to invite you to consider if it is time for you to transform something...
