UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

Art Journaling and Connecting with Your Creative Source
Break out of your routine in this week-end retreat-style workshop and give yourself the gift of creative space and time! Allow your creativity to flow free as you blend writing, collage, imagery and color to create a beautiful mixed media art journal. Discover the benefits of meditation, mindful movement and body-mind connection as ways to open your creative channels, and how art journaling is a form of self-care as well as creative expression. More than a how-to class, we focus on the creative process itself, and how to develop your unique artistic voice through mixed media exploration.
