EXPLORE 

Do you long to go deeper in your art, and tap into the symbolism and personal story that is truly YOU? 

There is a visual and emotional language that belongs to you and that is uniquely yours to share, that’s waiting to be told, or to be further explored and expressed. There are nine specific points that we can tap into that hold the keys to powerful parts of us based on both ancient and modern psychological healing and energy systems: the Enneagram, Internal Family Systems and the Chakras. These will be our guideposts for inquiry, exploration and healing, as we paint and get to know ourselves with loving curiosity.

In this course you will learn to:

• welcome each part of you as a powerful message of healing and to incorporate that expression into your art.
• tap into and welcome different parts of you that hold past stories and that hold both a strength and shadow such as the inner child and nurturer, the inner critic and discernment and expression and envy, etc.
• accept all parts of yourself as a whole, here and now in this moment. 
• access and be aware of the nine qualities that support you (the Self) in your creativity and to strengthen those qualities through regular focus and mindfulness.
• create from those same qualities that also hold powerful energy centers as well as strengths and shadow areas for each of us.

This course is open to artists with all levels of experience including beginners and new artists.

IS THIS MASTER CLASS

RIGHT FOR YOU?

Are you ready to dive into, or dive deeper into your art practice? Or are you perhaps craving more consistency in your creative practice, or do you want to bring more of who you are into your Self expression? If you’re ready to explore the many rich and symbolic facets of who you in a rich and holistic way, then this course is for you! 

This course is about utilizing the rich resources we have in all of us based on our collective mythological, somatic (body) and spiritual roots. The knowledge of this wisdom has been captured by Carl Jung and Archetypes, the Enneagram personality and spiritual system, Internal Family Systems, voice dialogue, and other psychological traditions that work with parts of self, story and personal mythology. From a somatic perspective, the chakra systems rooted as energy systems in our bodies, the ancient traditions of yoga and movement are also a key part of our work as we incorporate story that we carry in our bodies: a key part of our creative journey and expressive art. 

As part of a creative group, explore a new topic every month, based on rich and important aspects of who you are. Create a painting each month, engage in meditation and visualizations, journal prompts and exercises, and explore the truly authentic and unique gift of who you are as an artist and person. If this opportunity speaks to you, I hope that you will join us!
