Self-Discovery in the Present Moment

Park Slope (map)

Selected By: Vanessa

[Note: The meetup is promoted on several groups, so there will likely be other people there aside from those who RSVP here. Limit: 7 participants total.]

In this workshop we will explore ourselves through a fun process of making some art – in a process where you can let your judgment go (or try to!) and make scribbles, collage, a realistic drawing, or anything in between (or all of the above!) Making art allows your unconscious to come through without the use of words or concepts. And the process of making art in a group can help you gain insight on the workings of your mind and your inner dialogue. It can be a meditative experience where you get to learn just how busy your mind really is.

 

We will also talk about the symbols that come through in the artwork we create, as well as see what happens in the moment as we draw/paint/etc. No experience is necessary – bring your sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore yourself. See some examples below.

    We watched a slide show and then reflected on it by making a collage/drawing. Everyone got something personal and meaningful out of the experience, and I truly enjoyed it!
