WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS
Stepping Into the Soul, Meditative Painting Workshop with Susie Alexander
We are all creative by birthright, believe that it is fully within you! In the first session we will paint with acrylics through a guided meditation to guide your strokes effortlessly in full surrender. You will be amazed by your own intuitive process!
If Your Body Could Speak, What Would It Say?, Art and Movement Workshop with Helma Mueller
In this workshop, we will tap into the wisdom of our body and the creativity of our imagination. Through movement, drawing, creative writing and verbal sharing, you will be encouraged to connect to yourself and others in multiple ways. In solo, partner and group work, you are invited to explore and creatively share yourself. Based on the Life Art ProcessŪ approach, developed by Anna and Daria Halprin, we will use our personal life experience to shape our art making and visa versa we will allow the arts to inform our lives. Each individual human body is a microcosm of our Earth and thus reflects matters that are present on our planet. We will dedicate this workshop to the spirit of Earth Day and to the creation of a meaningful connection to yourself and the community around you.
Inner/Outer Mask Creation Workshop, with Brooke Bishop
Beginning with a blank full face mask, we will build our inner and outer truth. We will use collage and paint to make visible what we hide, and what we choose to bring into the light. It will be a vigorous and courageous exploration.
“Tear off your mask. Your face is glorious.” - Rumi
Mandalas and The Law of Attraction: Creatively Manifest the Life You Want, with Pippa Wyvill
In this intimate workshop you will explore a powerful process of manifesting the vision for your future self. Through guided visualization, group sharing and journaling we will gather important landmarks from our life experiences. This becomes our treasure chest of core elements and from this we will create three Mandala using oil pastels, Prisma color pencils and collage. Each mandala you make is a visual affirmation and a valuable tool to inspire and empower you to be the creator of your life.
