About this Event
Chakra Healing Through Art & Embodiment Workshop
A creative, embodied path through the chakras.
This two-hour experiential workshop offers a guided journey through the body’s energetic centers by exploring the chakras in three primary areas of the body: the lower chakras (grounding, safety, and support), the heart center (emotion, connection, and compassion), and the upper chakras (expression, awareness, and intuition).
Through therapeutic art-making, somatic awareness, reflective writing, and embodied movement, participants will be invited to slow down and listen to the body in a supported and intentional way. Rather than moving quickly or trying to change anything, the process emphasizes presence, pacing, and inner listening.
During the workshop we will work with soft pastels as our primary art material. The tactile, sensory nature of pastels helps engage the nervous system and gently access emotions, memories, and inner imagery held within the body. The focus is on expression and experience — not artistic skill or outcome.
Throughout the evening participants will be gently guided through:
- Somatic practices informed by nervous-system awareness
- Process-based therapeutic art-making with pastels
- Reflective writing and journaling
- Embodied movement connected to the chakras
- Optional sharing in a supportive, non-judgmental space
You do not need any prior knowledge of the chakra system — or experience with art, movement, or somatic practices — to participate. All concepts and activities will be clearly explained and gently guided.
This experience supports noticing what may feel blocked, what is asking for attention, and what may be ready to soften or heal — guided by the wisdom of the body itself.
Come as you are. You are welcome exactly where you are in your journey.
