creativity as a somatic experience
Embodied Creativity
What would it feel like to make art from a mediative and mindful space you are occupying? What might be communicated thru your brush, if it moved in direct response to an impulse that was moving thru your arm?
This is a workshop that will merge Embodiment practice thru Somatic Movement and self expression. Somatic practice is a sensation based, awareness thru the lens of the nervous system. Practicing these skills, builds a relationship to our own creative process. It offers us the space to acknowledge and give voice to who we are moment by moment.
We will be using acrylic paint and mixed media supplies to create a figurative art piece of your own expression. We will invite in gentle movement meditation thru the 5 senses to follow the threads for what wants to be painted and explored. This is a process of building a relationship to our selves. It is acceptance, expression and self care, thru your creativity.
Upcoming Workshop May 5, 2024

Creativity As A Somatic Experience Art Workshops
Interoception
What’s underneath
Your skin
The clinch
The hold
The sadness
How does it feel to live
With the signals that direct us towards Truth
Are we brave enough to acknowledge
Who we are
What we want
Are we brave enough to acknowledge instead of numb or call it something else
Put it in a box
Make it go away
Until it never does
Because it’s there,
for us to acknowledge
To feel the edges of
And breathe with
Curiously watch how our energy moves around it
