Going with the flow of the creative experience allows for self-discovery and individual transformation by bypassing conscious thought and accessing deeper, unconscious realms. Participating in the art-making process can provide relief and release those things that have been forgotten or suppressed.

Creative interactive workshops provide many benefits and lessons. Working with art materials in a group environment teach us to be present, teach us to express our feelings, and teach us to be more in tune with our lives.

Workshop themes include exploring dreams, becoming inspired, finding balance, setting goals ... and more. Artistic ability is not required!

Facing Your Fear Workshop

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along'.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

When you are able to alter a fearful state-of-mind you are empowering yourself. In this workshop we explore the core of our anxiety and anger while participating in the creative experience. Using your imagination and expressing insight provides an impetus to safely face your fear. All supplies are provided to enhance the experience.

Archetypes are universal symbols that withstand time. They represent intrinsic human experience as we evolve, as a result, archetypes evoke deep emotions. Knowing your personal archetypes are a great way to help understand what motivates you – the reasons you do what you do. Identifying your core values and clarifying the traits that define you will help you realize your archetypal prototype. In this workshop we identify which archetypes drive us and where our strengths and weaknesses lie. 

The earth and everything on it is bound by an invisible connection between people, animals, plants, the air, the water, and the soil. Insignificant actions on your part, whether positive or negative, can have an impact on people and the environment that seem entirely separate from your personal realm of existence. Staying conscious of the interconnection between all things can help you consider your choices and your life in terms of the broader effect you may be creating.

In The Conscious Connection Workshop explore how our thoughts and actions shape the world around us. Through the drawing process and wire-wrapping stones, art materials are our guide in experiencing the connection that we all share.

“Your anger is like a flower. In the beginning you may not understand the nature of your anger, or why it has come up. But if you know how to embrace it … it will begin to open.”

~Thich Nhat Hanh
 

By defining anger as the emotion of self-preservation it is easier to detect moments of vulnerability to it (Carter & Minirth, The Anger Workbook, 1993). With proper nurturing, transforming the emotion of anger can be a positive, meaningful practice.
 

In this workshop you will:

• Identify the circumstances that prompt specific types of anger
• Learn to recognize times of vulnerability
• Discover the consequences of anger
• Practice healthy ways to transform your anger

In the Harmonizing Opposing Forces workshop we practice acceptance of the paradox of the spirit and open ourselves to the fullness of our own being through the use of art materials.

In this workshop we explore our individual journeys through creative expression and self-discovery. You may also discover a new art technique during the process.

Trusting your intuition, following your gut feeling, call it what you will, honoring your feelings entails being true to yourself. In this workshop we explore our feelings, as they truly are, utilizing your greatest asset. Your perceptive self. Through creative expression and self-discovery connect with others while honoring your authentic self.
