Ready for creative risk-taking as a means of personal and spiritual growth?
Together we will embody a journey of honoring and then quieting our inner critics. Through movement, visual arts and writing exercises, we travel through three steps:
- Letting go of that which does not serve us
- Crossing a threshold into a strengthened relationship with our creative selves
- Integrating our learning into a plan for sustained creative practices.
No experience or particular skill sets necessary to participate. If you are interested in rekindling a friendship with your Inner Artist, this workshop is for you!
