Creative Care for the Holidays
Honor your Creative Wellness and Soul Care
In this fall course, participants will explore a creative path toward supporting and regulating the nervous system as we move into what often feels like a difficult, elated, and stressful time. Some people love the holiday season, while for others, it can bring up some intense emotions. In any case, many spaces and places we occupy or visit during this time exude the sensations of rush, pressure, overwhelm, and depletion in all their manifestations.
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:
to be part of a communal practice during the holiday season
an outlet to release emotions that harbor during the holidays
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
to end 2022 creatively
