Explorations of the Self


THE CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF YOUR LIFE PURPOSE
(3 workshops for Women)

Session 1

  • an inward path
  • an active theme
  • a single word
  • paper, ink and thread

With remarkable immediacy, these simple methods and materials can awaken your inner awareness and creative spirit. Begin to express your themes, discover your purpose and create a very personal container for your thoughts, stories, energy, emotions and intentions.


Session 2

  • a simple line
  • a powerful mark
  • a mysterious shape
  • stories develop
  • visions emerge

Continue to clarify and explore your life purpose, your preferred stories and your creative self. Through contemplation and movement, a personal dialogue interweaving emotions, themes and spirit spontaneously emerges. Expression through words, lines, marks and shapes builds on the hand-made books from session 1.


Session 3

  • stories tranform
  • a purpose unfolds
  • paper, lines, shapes, words
  • a single thread

Discovery manifests. A powerful and meaningful container for the ongoing expression of the physical, emotional and spiritual self in this session truly becomes your own. Using various methods and materials, we will embellish our stories and our books to create a completed and even more personal expression of our purpose in this lifetime.


Please Note

Ideally each program builds on and deepens the earlier exploration. However, newcomers are welcome at any session. They also can explore preferred stories, make a finished book and have a complete experience.
