Wednesday morning creative workshops for well-being!
Beginning in September 2023 I will be facilitating creative well-being workshops.
Wednesday mornings 10 – 12
Myross Wood House, Leap, Co Cork
Starting September 6th.
A series of creative workshops using art materials, creative writing, playful interventions and found objects both in the studio, and outside in nature in the beautiful grounds and Myross woodland.
The course is designed to take us on a journey of self-discovery to reconnect with ourselves, and what we truly want. The workshops provide tools for fuller enjoyment of life, and it is recommended to keep a journal for the duration of the course.
Each week will have a focus, and workshops will begin with an art directive, which I will introduce and explain. These will include:
Mandala, your personal mandala starting point, where am I now in relation to where I want to be.
Finding balance.
Creative writing and story telling – where have I been, history, memoir, what may be holding me back.
Shadow work, masks puppets, print. What lies behind or what is not seen or seen in reverse.
Making of a personal amulet, talisman, to remember and protect.
I will supply basic art materials, but please bring your favourites if you have them.
Some sessions will be held outside in nature; reconnecting, gathering – making a new story out of what I discover.
The course is experiential and hopefully surprising in a good way. Participants need to be open to process as there is an emphasis on sharing, collaboration and fun.
It will be a small group and we will agree on the guidelines so everyone is encouraged and supported to express themselves.
No previous art experience necessary, all welcome!
