Painting and Breathing through Changing Times

November 11, 2017, 10-5

Fall is a powerful time of transitions. Give yourself the space to unwind and let go of unhealthy ways of being, patterns of your former life. Prepare to cocoon for the winter from a clearer slate. Tending our inner landscape during the dying time is just as important a phase as any during the wheel of the year. For only when we can truly see what we’ve outgrown, and release it, can we emerge anew, and transformed, in the Spring.

Join us to listen closely to yourself, using paint as a mode of expressing your own deep feeling and inner dreamscape. Inquire more deeply into your own mystical journey here on Earth. Gentle SoulCentric BreathworkTM supports this process. No art experience of any kind is necessary. There is ample support for individual process and journey.

Saturday November 11, 2017, 10am – 5pm (1 hr lunch break)

Fee: $95 early by 11/3/17. $108 thereafter.  Includes all materials. Limited to 12, please register in advance.

**FREE to those who lost their home in the October wildfires!** 

Bring: Don’t wear your favorite clothes just in case the tempura stains, which can occasionally happen on cotton. We have some aprons available. Please bring a pad or mat to lie on and a blanket and pillow, to be comfortable lying on the floor during the breathwork portion on Sunday.
