Event Overview

In this relaxed and insightful session you can explore yourself through visualization exercises and drawing.

Not a Picasso? Live in stick-figure land? DON'T WORRY. There is no artistic experience needed to participate because you will not be expected to create anything specific and you won't be taught any technique.

Instead, our trained facilitators will guide you through simple and easy exercises designed to open up the visual and imaginative part of your brain and allow you the freedom to explore drawing with pastels.

After drawing, participants will internalize their experience through journaling and finally they will connect with others by sharing whatever they are impelled to share.

The facilitator will provide tools that keep the exercises approachable without worry of skill level, while still allowing creativity and self-expression to shine through.

The only thing that participants need to bring is their honesty, willingness to push through their comfort zone, and a trust in the process. This session can feel like meditation without the your worry of trying to control thoughts.

What to Bring

Just bring your wonderful self and a willingness to explore!
