Part II of this workshop (March 14th) – Vision Boards – will be rescheduled for a date in mid to late April or May. More information will follow.
A major transition in one’s life can be a time of fear and stress, and the creative act of art journaling can be very healing. It can also be a time of excitement and anticipation, and expressing it artistically in a journal can assist in discovering the path of one’s soul. Visioning our future, expressing it artistically on a vision board and holding it before us, can help us find our path as well as move into it. This workshop is being offered to women of all generations (age 18 and over) who are going through or about to experience a transition in their lives.
During this educational and fun workshop, April will integrate the tool of art journaling with vision boards to help you see the power of your future. You will have the opportunity to vision your path, express it artistically (with or without words), as you learn these tools. You will go home with the beginning of your own art journal and a vision board to hold before you in the transition period ahead. As we meet in circle at the beginning and end of each session of the 2-part workshop, you will learn from women of multiple generations as they experience a variety of transitions.
The Workshop is funded by an Art Meets Activism Grant awarded to Spirit of Sophia by Kentucky Foundation for Women. Coffee/tea/sandwiches/fruit/chocolate will be provided. You will go home with a spiral bound hard cover art journal and vision board. All Necessary art supplies will be provided. Bring your curiosity and dreams!
