Rest. Release. Rejuvenate. Restore.
Imagine a day listening to the birds and resting your body against a tree
Imagine being guided and held as you sip Mama Cacao
Imagine asking for help for what you need and want
Imagine deeply listening to your inner sacred voice
Imagine feeling the sound of music and song in your body
Imagine dancing and laughing with self and others
Imagine sitting around a table with a community of wise women
Imagine being fully taking care of to pause, rest, and rejuvenate
What stories might you remember? What images would you create?
If the environment could speak, what would it say?
Let's come together, in community, to explore, inspire, and create. Awaken the dialogue between body and nature, life experiences, and art making to tap into Summer’s gifts of abundance and growth.
Tune into the summer solstice, new beginnings and transitions, as you explore the nature that surrounds. Awaken dreams and desires and plant seeds for what is next.
Informed by the Life/Art Process®, a multi-modal movement based expressive arts therapy, participants will explore, excavate and play with mindful meditation, somatic movement, drawing, writing and improvisation. Allowing art's symbolic language as a tool to identify, confront, release, change and grow lived experiences…
Ignite your creativity to cultivate personal hopes and dreams.
Treat yourself to a full day of self-care and self-discovery. Located in the East Bay hills, I welcome you to a secluded urban retreat space with vistas and spaces to connect with nature, self, and others.
