Workshop focuses on family ties
The title of Rebecca Gittrich Whitecotton's workshop on Saturday is "Magic, Intrigue and Illusion: Seeing Beyond the Costumes," but her focus is grounded in the reality of families, particularly the spiritual nature of the parent-child relationship.
Whitecotton, a children's book author, begins her session at 10 a.m. Saturday at Unity Church of Hawaii, 3608 Diamond Head Circle.
She'll use magic, role-playing and audience participation to draw children and parents into discussing their respective roles. The hope, she says is to bring about an appreciation of the gifts they give each other, "even though they may drive each other crazy in the process."
Whitecotton is the author of "Child of Mine, Know This," which can be read online at www.childofmineknowthis.net.
Cost is $5 per person; $10 per family. Call 735-4436.
