Wintering
It grows dark earlier now. The leaves, once so vibrantly yellow, red, and orange against their green sibling leaves, are falling. Everything falling. A wind rushes in, shaking those that hold on a bit too tightly. A reminder to let go. Let go, let go, into this season of wintering. Trust the ground to catch you. Move inward, without fear, or with all the fear that wants to be held tenderly, accompanied only by your willingness to listen for the dance that wants to tell your story.
In a dialogue between movement, visual art, and narrative making, participants will be introduced to the interdisciplinary art model and creative practice of the Life/Art Process®. You will be guided inward to the quiet dark places of retreat and rest, slowing down to sense, feel, imagine, and reflect on what in you needs to be discovered, cared for, renewed, and expressed into being in your life.
This workshop is designed for everyone. No previous experience in dance or art is needed. Workshops are for ages 18+ only, and disability access is not provided.
To get the most out of these online classes, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device and reliable internet service. If you are using a handheld device, such as a pad or phone, please be sure to use a stand for your device so that it is held securely in place. You will want to have your hands free and be able to move freely and safely during movement exercises without worrying about your device falling. Have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
Come prepared with oil pastels and 14×18” drawing paper or similar visual art-making material. Bring a writer’s journal and pen.
