Tending To Overwhelm With Art (IN-PERSON)

In this workshop, we're going to talk about and explore ways to TEND to our overwhelm ...with our art. Specifically bilateral (both hands) drawing and mark making. We'll be giving ourselves some space to express (and release), and ground in (to a sensory rooted conversation with our materials). We'll make some space for our overwhelm to transform into something different... a different shape, form, feel.

We'll get curious about ways that we can use art, and creative process to work with (and support) overwhelm. Practices and processes as resources that we can reach for (and repeat) when the all-ness of it all weighs us down.

Overwhelm is a very reasonable and legitimate response to a world on fire. AND, we want to build practices that support us in not collapsing into it. Creative care practices.

Maybe you'd like to join us ...to do this in community. Building collective creative curiosity ...a curiosity that we can carry around in our bodies, into everything that we do.

NO experience with art-making is required to attend.

• If you’d like a visual glimpse into what we get up to in my workshops please visit me on Instagram (@heyheyshauna), or at www.heyshauna.com
• You needn’t have ANY experience with art or art materials to participate (and benefit from) any of my workshops.
• Groups are small, they are also generous, warm, and supportive... and easily among my favourite things.
• In all of my workshops, our focus is on exploring different art materials in lots of different ways …and noticing how those different materials and processes make us feel. And while I am here for any technical assistance you may need, our goal is not to focus on technical skill…but instead on curiosity.
