INVEST IN YOUR ONE CREATIVE, WILD AND PRECIOUS LIFE!

….Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?  Excerpt from “Summer” by Mary Oliver

DESCRIPTION:

Together we will weave a net of safety to allow participants to delve into the necessary chaos of art making, exploring its valuable resource as helper and companion as well as gaining insight and inspiration.

We will support one another in developing an art habit; the practice of daily visual journaling so that you can:

  • Embrace your sensing body as your first creative partner in visual journaling!
  • Take risks on the page.
  • Let go of control.
  • Find ease in the unknown.
  • Engage images held in your body from your past, present and even future.  These images, both nurturing and disturbing. effect decisions you make every day.
  • Learn to embrace your journal and the images it holds, as companions.
  • Ride the wave of your own breath to invite the ego to step aside to trust the creative process.
  • Come, discover your unique visual vocabulary; let your journal be the container to “Call In” personal images to create your unique “Image Council Cardsⓒ.” 

Who should join?

This process isn’t for everyone. It involve showing up with curiosity, truth telling and sincerity. We will create art that will be important, if not always pretty – important because art making ensures maintenance of our soul.  As artists we will naturally cross pollinate, inspiring one another to reach new heights.

The "BONES" of the 6 month IQS

Six Monthly “3 Hour Sessions”:  We share our lives and our developing journal pages as they move from beginnings to chaos to full blown expressions!  We practice exciting mixed media visual art journaling techniques, drumming, poetry and movement to assist our pages to self organize -giving us new information-something we would have never gleaned on our own!  We learn vocabulary to talk about art in a safe, helpful way, our art and other’s.

1:1 Time with Pamela: Pamela will consult with participant’s about their journals on a rotating basis while the group works independently.

Monthly Conference call with all groups participants: Pamela facilitates calls to field questions and share participant’s breakthroughs, insights and challenges.  Here we gain courage by association!

All Art Supplies Provided During Monthly Sessions:  Examples of techniques are:  Intuitive Collage©, Acetone Transfers, Gel Medium Transfers, Tape Transfers, carving a personal image print block, creating Image Council Cards©, acrylic painting, drawing, sand tray therapy, labyrinth walks, stencils, mono-printing with gelli plates, etc.

See the video above for examples of these techniques.

Weekly Inspirations: Once a week participants receive “tips and inspirations” in your inbox to fuel daily visual journaling and keep the creative fire burning all through the month!

Professionally Printed Image Council Cards: Resources and guidance in printing your Image Council Cards professionally will be available, if desired.  Making your card deck by hand is also available as always.

(Optional) Private Image Quest Sojourn Sessions with Pamela at private session rates:  There is always the added benefit of investing in private sessions (purchased in 3 session packages) with Pamela.  Many Image Quest Sojourners have BLOSSOMED from honing in on what is happening during the alchemy of IQS and finding the ‘just right’ way to express it in their visual journal.

Private Facebook Page:  Monitored weekly by Pamela, we stay connected through our FB page with the option of checking-in about journal tending/posting ongoing journal pages for expressive arts feedback from Pamela or the group. This supports participants developing a practice of daily visual journaling with imagery, text, pattern, color and texture.

As our images from our past, present and future begin to layer on top of one another they naturally effect how we view our life-past and present.  This weekly check in gives a forum to share these insights.

“I first came to appreciate the value of reflective writing during grad school when I used it as a learning tool in a study skills class I created for my thesis project. While I keep thinking journals to organize my thoughts, they have been filled primarily with practical words and thinking images. Now my thinking journals are alive with color, filled with meaningful words and imagery, and have become indispensable learning tools. Pamela taught me how to be a more thoughtful observer and a smarter thinker.” - Image Quest Sojourn

“For me, Image Quest is a journey inward in the presence of a strong group of co-creators. We witness each others’ experiences of experimenting with paper and paint and words …our creations become more and more reflective of who we are as human beings and as artists until we really come to our own voice with our images. My process led to an unexpected appreciation of my roots in the Midwest and the extended family members who have contributed to who I am today. My sojourn with Pamela created a deep resting place within myself where I can call on inner resources to better meet the challenges that life presents. " - Image Quest
