“Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.” ~ Meister Eckhart
Join a 4-week series on creative inquiries to embody radical presence, develop self-compassion, and unearth your body’s resiliency.
Classes featuring the Tamalpa Life/Art methodology: somatic movement, drawing, creative writing, improvisation, and ritual. Aspects of the Polyvagal Theory will be used and applied to support self-regulation and provide the ground for the creative work.
What prior participants have said:
“Maria Luisa’s poetic guidance to slow down and tune into the body is a crucial gift in a time when the world seems to be spinning out of control. By turning inward, I gained deeper clarity to ground myself as I move out into the world.” ~ Debra Stuckgold
“I treasure the safe container and creative space Marialuisa holds. Her groundedness and authenticity have helped me connect deeply with my sacred bodymind. I have found her work invaluable.” ~ Dvora Liberman
No dance or art experience needed.
To get the most out of this online series, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for drawing activities, and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
