Yesterday I had the complete and tremendous joy of presenting the 'Clearing Creativity Salon' for and with a group of artists and art's educators at a hidden jewel of a center called Alternatives Inc. On the natural calendar of the Earth Wheel January represents the moon of cleansing and release. Throughout the morning we 'wound the wheel' exploring and considering what it offers each of us in terms of birth gift and birth challenge. After lunch we each went into a three hour period of silent studio time and we closed with a magnificent 'Show n Tell'...each participant bringing us more inspiration to carry home from the day.
Ahhh...a circle of women making deep spiritual art for sheer joy....my favorite kind of day.

Another experience you've written about that I'd love to attend! Sounds like it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd why didn't I know about this salon??
ReplyDeleteActually, I spent all weekend writing art grants!

ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of an art therapy group I went to for people with cancer. I couldn't stop crying thoughout the six week session as the art (none of us were artists) we created touched such different areas in my psyche. I am verbal and did not know how to express myself through out. Now I am trying to art journal and I am realizing that maybe all of us have some art in us.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this.
