**聖誕心願瓶工作坊：將內在願景化為聖誕祝福** 在這個特別的聖誕季節，我們邀請您暫離日常喧囂，透過親手製作一個獨一無二的聖誕裝飾，進行一場與內心對話的旅程。 **活動簡介** 您是否曾感覺心底有個未實現的願望，需要一個專注的時刻來確立方向？本次工作坊將引導您運用「榮格心理學」中的象徵理論，藉由手作的過程，將抽象的內在願景「原型化」並「實體化」在一個美麗的聖誕球之中。 我們將運用天然的晶石與芳香草本植物，這些自古以來被認為蘊含大地能量的自然元素，作為您個人意圖的載體。您將學習如何專注地將您的願望與正面能量灌注其中，創造屬於您自己的「心願瓶」（或稱「許願球」）。 這不僅僅是一個手作課程，更是一場充滿「儀式感」的心靈體驗。我們相信，透過專注的「意圖設定」與動手實踐，能啟動潛意識的轉化力量，讓您的願望在佳節氛圍中獲得更清晰的指引與實現的可能。 **工作坊特色** • 心靈象徵之旅：引入榮格心理學概念，探索您的願望原型與個人意義。 • 能量載體精選：使用精選的天然晶石與乾燥香草，學習它們各自的象徵意義與能量運用。 • 專注的儀式感：引導您在靜心狀態下，將個人願景封存於聖誕球內，強化實現的意圖。 • 獨一無二的裝飾：親手製作一個充滿個人能量與故事的聖誕掛飾，為您的居家空間增添獨特光芒。 無需任何手作經驗或心靈背景，只要帶著您最真誠的願望前來即可。讓我們一起在這個聖誕節，為自己或重要的人，親手創造一份看得見的祝福與希望 地點：飛雲書店 西營盤保德街27號地下 導師：Taki CHAN 心理學講師 × Steph YEUNG 儀式設計師 費用：HKD $360（10/12前 早鳥價/ 2人同行 $330）(包所有材料）

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
