Art and Soul Journeys
workshops for creative exploration and personal growth
"Just as each of
us benefits from physical exercise
and meditation, even though we may not become
professional athletes or enlightened yogis, making
art is intensely cathartic and healing, and should be
enjoyed by everyone." (Alex Grey, The Mission of Art)
This workshop series for working artists and becoming artists alike began in 2003,
authored and taught by Hannelore as day-long Saturday classes in the East Bay Area.
Selected workshops will be offered again in Portland, OR in 2008, dates and locations TBD.
Art and Soul Journeys help integrate artmaking with inner guidance – the soul's wisdom –
and day-to-day life experience. They offer an opportunity to go deeper into the creative process
through self-exploration. When inviting the soul into the creative process, artmaking
can become a tool for transformation and healing. Soul qualities such as joy, serenity and
wisdom, depth of feeling and compassion can be more fully expressed.
Art and Soul Journeys address aspects of the physical, emotional, mental
and spiritual. They provide successive tools for integratingart and soul,
sharpen observational skills, perceptual sensitivity, mental focus and awareness.
In a safe environment the participants are guided into non-ordinary states of
consciousness and express their experience through artmaking in a
spontaneous, playful, non-judgemental and authentic way.
Participants will have the opportunity to share their process with the group.
Individual coaching between workshops is available for a fee.
Basic art materials are provided.
