A Workshop To Re-Connect With Your Innate Creative Potential

In this 4-hour workshop, we come together as a small group of no more than 8 participants to experience tapping into our personal creative source energy. 

We start with sharing our intentions for the workshop to ground the experience in our personal goals.  This workshop is not merely geared toward awakening your creativity to make art, although breaking through creative blocks can be a beautiful and enriching aspect of this work.  The bigger goal is to open a channel into your own creative energy, so that you can call upon this resource to use for whatever you need it for in your life; be that making art, creating a business, or finding the confidence to take a risky leap in your life.  Feeling connected to your creative flow is empowering!

The first activity is group painting: by sharing one canvas as a group, with no rules on where to paint and with collaboration encouraged, you necessarily have to give up control over how your painting is going to look.  This is a very effective way to get past the inner critic part of the self that can be so attached to making a “pretty” art product that it can get in the way of you letting go and freeing yourself to flow in a creative process.  (I have led group paintings countless times and it never ceases to impress me how such a simple activity can have such an impact on people when they let themselves tap into an intuitive flow.)  The way we approach this exercise often sheds light on the way we approach creating our lives.

After our initial connection with creative flow, the next step is a guided meditation and drum journey: you are now ready to enter a open inner space where you can get in touch with your in-dwelling Creative Spirit.  You deepen your connection with the flow you just experienced and get to befriend your own creative inner guide. 

The final step is bringing the wisdom you received from the meditation into tangible form.  By creating a collage of your Creative Spirit, you help bring that energy forward into your life.  It helps to cement the new wisdom into the conscious parts of your psyche when you choose images to create an external representation of an internal process.  And you get to take it home to meditate on it whenever you want to strengthen your connection to your channel of creative energy.


All materials are provided, though if you want to bring specific images or materials for your collage, please feel free. 

This workshop provides light snacks and tea.
