The Art of You offers unique, very low skill art workshops that focus on exploration, not art skill. In other words, no art experience necessary, since it's not really about the art! It IS about creativity, self discovery, engaging your senses and your imagination, giving yourself permission to play and be, and letting yourself experience freedom.
Mostly, The Art of You Studio aims to support wide awake, juicy living. It's goal is to support you in being as YOU as you can be. Present moment and self awareness are encouraged by engaging the senses. And the best way to engage the senses, and the present moment, is through art. But not just any art! This is art making that has no goal except the process itself. The emphasis will always be on what it feels like as you make the art, and never on what the art looks like when you're finished. What the studio offers is a vivid, whole self, integrative way to reflect on yourself, shift, change, PLAY, and allow for new-ness to arise. Using art materials is just the best way we've found to do all that! Paint, clay, sand tray, movement, and collage of all types are all available for you to explore.
Workshops at the studio draw from many philosophies including Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Abraham-Hicks, Tao, Zen, and more. All of these are viewpoints that help us come into the present moment, support self awareness, and that help us spot self imposed limitations. This kind of self awareness brings us choice – and thus an opportunity for living bigger, as our expanding, essential selves spread out into unforeseen possibilities of being.
Examples of past and current workshops include such tittles as: Acupuncture and Expressive Arts, Self Esteem, The Art of Appreciation, Vision Boards, Mask Making, Creative Sanctuary, Theta Healing and Expressive Arts, Super Easy Stretch Class, The Moving Brush, Art Yoga, and Soul Talking.
