In times where we are now called to awaken to global challenges, finding sanctuary for all has never been more crucial. In this workshop we will explore what well-being and sanctuary means to us and ways to find stillness, harmony, and connectedness through creative art processes. We will embrace a range of multi-sensory practices including responding to music, movement, meditation, painting as well as learning core design skills to connect to and express what well-being and sanctuary means individually. This will include exploring how to bring more of this into your life. The workshop will culminate with the creation of a gratitude and well-being shrine painting/collage.
What do participants need?
Your own drawing and painting materials and clothing that you don’t mind making a mess in. a more detailed list of materials needed will be given before the course starts. A small selection of supplies are available at the art centre should you need to borrow them.
