Somatic Artistry: Painting, Movement, & Trauma Healing

If you've been desiring to explore your inner world, to deepen into your creative expression, and connect back with your body and all of the wisdom that lives within...

Join us for a sacred, transformation morning at AO Studios in East Vancouver!

This one-of-a-kind workshop experience will combine the powers of art therapy and somatic healing to help you explore your emotions and release stored trauma in the body. Expect to walk away feeling held, light, soft, liberated, and inspired all at once.

Jade, an experienced Art Therapist and Trauma Practitioner, will guide you through a safe practice of reconnection and expression. We'll first flow through a sequence of dynamic trauma release movement and then open up into guided expressive arts practice, where you'll have the opportunity to really let go, dance, play, explore, and tap into that creativity, fire, and wisdom.

We will be painting big. We will be taking up space. We will be expressing ourselves in a new way. And that's the beauty of it.

Let's get messy, playful, and curious. And let's allow the wisdom of our bodies to free us into feeling safe, free, and so joyful.

1. Arriving circle & landing together
2. Somatic meditation
3. Body Trauma Liberation™
4. Guided expressive painting & intuitive creation
5. Closing circle

Your life gets to feel like a work of art. Your body knows the way there. Let this be the pathway there, to a space where you feel safe and at home in your authentic expression.

We'd love to see you join us for this magical morning together.

All art materials: large paper, crayon, chalk, color pencil, markers, non-toxic paint + brushes

Pillows and cushions

• No previous art experience is necessary - just an open mind, heart, and a willingness to explore

• Please come in comfortable clothes you can move in, and clothes you don't mind getting messy in!
