Come and gather for 6 weeks with other folks moving towards their creative selves. We will do exercises of imagination and creation used by artists with a mindfulness approach. Expect to have regular quiet time exploring through guided exercises, and to connect with the larger group through listening and sharing. You do not need to be an artist or have something specifically in mind to take this class! Folks who take this class often come in feeling stuck in some kind of a rut, or wanting some support to keep their momentum going. We will work on this together! There will be occasional optional movement and low lighting, arrive scent free when possible. Please bring something to write and draw in, like a sketchbook or notebook, and something to write with.
