I'm offering something unique to support women who need a powerful outlet to express feelings on the night of the inauguration and MLK Jr. Day. What a sensitive subject! There are as many experiences of how the past US election has affected us, as there are people. My intention is to support those who voted for Harris, because it seems we need it the most.
We will be in an emotionally safe, nourishing environment in a women-owned and managed building.
Enjoy a community of sacred sisterhood. Come let it out! Create an abstract 'process painting'.
Through creativity and gentle movement, we express! We end with a beautiful meditation to nourish your nervous system. We paint with freedom of mind based on what you experience in the moment.
I encourage students not to try to ‘finish’ your paintings. We paint for health. Our focus is on representing emotions, thoughts and beliefs through line, color and shape. We use active painting techniques. At the close of the class I give suggestions on how to use your painting as a touchstone of authenticity and compassion, and offer ways to continue to support yourself by intentionally adding other elements to it.
Students are having deep experiences in my Holsitic Artistic classes. The combination of expressive art-making layered with personal meaning, combined with a soothing meditation and somatic release exercises (body-based healing) is a unique trifecta.
If you are negatively affected by this election, if you are feeling scared and triggered, this class is designed for you.
