Let the process of creating ART be the compass that guides you to your heART of the matter.
Your innate creativity and curiosity will serve as your guiding compass.
Follow their lead to your heART of the matter.
When diving into art making we tap into a different process than the day to day thought patterns that tend to dominate our days. We'll work in a way that invites new insight, inspiration, and conjures energy to set direction or re-connect and re-commit to what is most alive for you in your life at this time. All of this can be done without words, and therein lies the secret. These are not classes to learn technique, but are classes focusing on what is conveyed in the process of creativity. Everybody can do this.
When creating in this way, themes waiting below the surface of the ordinary come out to whisper the unsaid or unnoticed in a way that is right for you in a language without words that you will understand. It's your compass after all. It's your nature. It knows you well and will give you what is right for you at the time in the language of your own intuitive tongue.
A canvas or paper will become the vessel to hold and convey this.
Through a guided process of a meditation and artistic exploration with paper and/or canvas you'll be connecting with your own current truths. This is a great practice for people of all ages and levels of confidence in creative/expressive ability.
That which goes unsaid can be expressed, integrated and witnessed, and a sense of well-being emerges. The sense of isolation and emotional loneliness that are so common in these times are soothed through the clarity, inspiration and sense of support from the process itself and the environment supporting it.
