Body Centered/Art Based Expressive Arts
Visual Journaling For Personal Transformation

No Art Experience Necessary!

Would making art that explores feelings around personal challenges or the current political, racial and health crises in our world be helpful?

“Living with Images As Companions”  creates a safe container to support you in processing  personal truth as well as world events.

We will make art in the privacy of our own homes/offices/studios while meeting in circle with our online art community every other week.  Over a three month period we will have six 2.5 hour, real time “sacred circle” group sessions establishing safe space to make art, share, and tell our truth -without trying to ‘fix’ one another.

During these challenging times this visual journal is your “psyche’s playground” without censor or judgement.  Together we practice play, letting go of perfection, and finding ease in the necessary chaos of the creative process and our world.

We gather past present and future  images that elicit a body sensation, both nurturing and disturbing.  We allow time for color, images, texture and words to steep in the rich soup of the journal’s pages.  We step back as the pages begin to self organize,  informing and changing our relationship to them.

My Promise to You

• During this twelve week period a new relationship with your sensing body will be honed.
• With daily journal tending you will be witness to this random, sometimes chaotic process.
• You will be a witness as your journal begins to self organize, revealing new insights.
• You will learn exciting visual art techniques
• You will gain expressive arts tools to access truth and direction in your life.
• You will learn new ways to communicate.
• You will forever belong to your art making tribe!

Part Two
Pre requisite: Image Quest Sojourn or

Living with Images as Companions Part One

This course is offered as continued support in the development of journal spreads and going deeper into the layering process.

Allowing more time for your images to self organize brings further insight and the opportunity for charged images to integrate in a new way or become neutralized.  During Part Two techniques include Oil of Wintergreen transfers, making Image Council Cards and serving as the scribe for the journal’s story.

What People Are Saying About Living With Images As Companions Part One
