Art is Medicine
Art is Medicine
In this self-paced course, participants will explore a creative path toward supporting and regulating the nervous system when we feel difficulty, stress, depletion and overwhelm.
For this reason, I invite you into the world of medicinal art, learning to support and nourish your nervous system and engage in rituals that help to release and ground the ups and downs. Together we will explore archetypal shapes, marks, and intuitive drawing as an outlet for our emotions.
This course is for you if you want:
an outlet to release emotions that harbor during difficult times
to play with your boxed-up art supplies
to explore your inherent creative pulse
to play, bring joy to your life in a new way
This course is for all! You do not need any creative experience at all. This space is also for creatives that enjoy being in circle and engaging with their craft in a new way. As always, we welcome ourselves to practice as we are, suspend our judgment, and invoke a childlike, beginners approach.
Each lesson explores and includes:
~ A creative tutorial,
~ A rest practice
~ A movement exploration
~ A PDF journal to support your self-inquiry and contemplations.
The lessons:
The Bowl exploring support and being held through your tools, drawing, and doodling.
The Lemniscate introduces water, painting, relating, and softening.
The Vertical Line creates a place for growth and courage.
The Triangle honors stability and direction
The Horizontal Line makes space for welcoming.
Each session will explore different materials, shapes, and creative processes and include supportive meditation, rest invitations, self-inquiry questions, and ritual suggestions to support your nervous system, mind, and heart.
*** this course was created during the holiday season, and the challenge that holiday times has on our nervous system.
