Art Journaling for the Journey
Sunday, January 14, 2024
$130 (Includes kit fee–kit mailed to US addresses only.)
This is a well-being-focused workshop. The day will be divided into 4 sections. In each section we will consider life’s inflection points through reflection and sharing then art exploration. We will begin each section with brief meditation and grounding then explore a poem or quote to focus on the theme. After a demonstration of art response ideas and techniques, there will be time for personal reflection and a creative art response. The guided art response gives lots of space for individual creativity and originality to suit each participant’s style, background, and experience. The section will close with sharing for anyone who chooses to. The day is divided into four 90 min sections each with its own art reflection. The art responses are designed for all skill levels and are intended as an entry to an ongoing art journaling journey. Why art journaling? I believe that using different pathways through art and poetry can help us crack open parts of ourselves that we have let lay dormant or unexamined. Art can get at feelings that are sometimes out of reach of words and gives a new modality of expression and exploration.
I will be your guide for this art journaling experience. I am an artist, teacher, and lifelong art journal creator – the process has been a beautiful unfolding for me – I think you’ll enjoy it too.
Kit includes:
