Fall feels like the time to settle in and return to the roots of who we are.  In this ten week session, we will explore the patterns and architecture of our archetypes thorough the creative process. Each archetype holds a key, unlocking doors to our personal power and each one holds clues to our lives and personal relationships. 

Archetypes can be useful guides when we are able to consciously tap into their intuitive knowledge and vision. In this session, we will begin to unearth a rich roadmap paved with symbols, words and images connected to these archetypes, helping us to navigate life with a greater perspective.  The images created can act as powerful allies to anchor and connect you to the intuitive knowledge within, especially when you find yourself challenged or caught in old patterns that no longer work.

You will be guided through an interwoven process of discovery combining inquiry, writing, group sharing and painting, all done within a small safe group. Working together in a group provides a wisdom and clarity for what we may be traversing in our lives. Together we we all share the human experience and yet have our unique and individual differences. Within the group process, we discover we are not alone with these experiences. Here we can build trust, strength and courage to make changes we might need.  Here, we can support each other through the ebb and flow of life, celebrating our growth and honouring the hard things. No previous art experience is necessary, however the commitment to show up for yourself and the group and to be open to sharing withing the group process is paramount.  

The Creative Process echoes Life Process. There is great wisdom held in this process if we are willing to enter it, be open and listen. I have certainly learned through my breast cancer journey that life is never a straight path, and neither is the Creative Process. However, it is a powerful tool to utilize in life that can help navigate and support you.

Come join us for a safe journey with kind and compassionate travelers.  No fancy art supplies needed, just your open heart and commitment to show up and be willing to share in the group process.   
 

This Session Includes: 

• A 3 hour ZOOM class each week for 10 weeks for each class- Wed AM Or Thurs Pm, whichever you are registered in.  
• Each ZOOM class consists of a sharing process, inquiry and writing process, painting time and sharing and reflection after the painting process.
• The ZOOM will be recorded for future reference unless the class decides as a group otherwise. 
• Private Facebook  (FB) Space created just for this session and shared by both Wed and Thurs classes to further share your creative processes and paintings and connect outside of class time.
• I will be available for feedback and guidance in the FB space during the week at my discretion.
• Each class is no more than seven participants (I make eight) so there is lots of personalized attention.
• FB space will open on Sun Sept 22 and continue until Thurs Dec 5. 

• Access to high speed internet service and social media and a computer or device in which you connect for the ZOOM classes and FB space.
• Please check to make sure whatever device you are using (phone, computer, or other device) is compatible with the minimum requirements needed to connect to ZOOM. That information can be found here: ZOOM  
• A webcam. the one you have on your computer or phone should be adequate. 
• A pair of headphones or speakers-- again what is built into your computer or phone should work fine but you may choose headphones if you live with others and want privacy. 
• A microphone- this should be already build into your computer or phone. 
• You will also need to carve out some kind of space in which to create in--it can be as simple as a kitchen table or, if you have more room, a spare room designated as a studio/creative space where you will not be interrupted through the duration of the class.
