Art & Soul Women's Retreat
with Barbara Gilhooly
February 23 - 25 | three days
Thursday - Saturday
Tuition: $475
Take time for yourself and reconnect to your creative side. Everyone has it, it just gets buried and forgotten under the lists of to-dos, jobs, careers, kids and busy lifestyles.
This 3-day workshop will help participants reconnect to their true selves with mornings of yoga and meditation followed by creative projects geared to unleash your talents and true selves. Here are a sample of projects:
Visual Journaling: The practice of capturing thoughts, feelings and the world around you in a sketchbook. This powerful observation tool is a freedom of expression; no judgement, no rules. Express your thoughts and dreams through drawing, writing, painting, ink, collage and pictures. Anything goes!
Cigar Box Shrines: May sound funny but this simple and fun project will help you tap into deeper beliefs and dreams. Honor, acknowledge, embrace or let go of a piece of your life, history or dreams in a playful and creative cigar box shrine.
We will look at various altars and shrines of cultures and spiritual traditions from around the globe. As well as contemporary artists working in this versatile medium to inspire us before diving in!
Through examples and demonstrations, learn the basics of construction, collage, and embellishing. Learn techniques in effective use of acrylic paints, collage methods, and how to add textures for backgrounds and surfaces for the objects in your shrine.
