Unlock Your Creative Journey: “In This Body” Workshop

Discover, Reflect, and Transform

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey? Join us for the “In This Body” workshop—an immersive experience designed to ignite your creativity, deepen self-awareness, and pave the way for personal growth.

What Is It?

The “In This Body” workshop is a full-day exploration of mindfulness, therapeutic art, and embodied reflection. This workshop offers a unique blend of techniques to help you move forward in life.

What Will We Do?

  1. Mindfulness Training:

    • Purpose: Cultivate awareness of the present moment.

    • How: We’ll practice mindfulness techniques to attune to sensations, thoughts, and feelings. By quieting external noise, you’ll connect with your inner wisdom.

  2. Therapeutic Art Making:

    • Purpose: Express your unique story.

    • Process: Through drawing, painting, and collage, we’ll transform your body map into a canvas—a symbolic container for your lived experiences. Each stroke becomes a brushstroke of memory, emotion, and aspiration.

  3. Guided Body Mapping and Reflection:

    • Purpose: Uncover hidden treasures within.

    • What Is It?: Create a life-size image of your body outline. This body map becomes a mirror reflecting your journey. As you infuse it with memories, emotions, and dreams, patterns emerge—both resilient strengths and areas of unmet need.

  4. Enlivening Your Story:

    • Purpose: Breathe life into your narrative.

    • How: Through storytelling, you’ll externalize the internal. Craft, mold, and shape your experiences. As you do, inspiration and empowerment flow. You’ll gain clarity on what’s essential for actualizing your best life.

 Who Should Attend?

  • Curious Seekers: Adults ages 18-85 open to exploring their inner landscape, breaking through blocks, and embracing growth. Anyone ready to rewrite their narrative and forge new paths.*

What to Bring?

  • Open Heart: Come with an open mind and a willingness to explore.

  • Comfortable Attire: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting messy—we’ll be creating!

  • Optional Cushion or Mat: For comfort during our dynamic sessions.
