Do you need time to tune in with yourself and be in the present moment? Do you want to be better able to navigate and understand your emotions? Do you want to try all this in a safe and creative group setting that is joyful and lively??
If so, join me in this 8-week Inner Work Studio group! I will be drawing from my favourite inner work practices, ones I have done myself for decades and ones my clients also get the most from. I invite playfulness, curiosity and openness as we explore the inner landscape of mind and body.
You will learn the art of Focusing, a mindfulness-based method for working with emotions in the body. We will use art materials and journaling alongside this method to enable you to work with the content of your inner experience in diverse ways.
Participants are asked to commit to coming to each session. Content will build on the previous week but moreover, part of the joy and power of this experience is in the group that forms. The group size will be between 6 and 10 participants.
Before you run and hide, know that in this course you will not be forced to do anything you aren’t willing to try. Anything you make or write is yours and private and you are not obliged to share it. Any art-making is focused on the process, not the end product. We use art materials simply to express what’s going on inside, to give you a language to express, and you will be guided in this process.
Wednesdays, 7-9pm, October 6th – December 1st, *NO GROUP OCT 27th.*
De La Soul Yoga, 430 York Blvd, Hamilton.
We will plan to meet in-person and we will follow Public Health guidelines. If we are not able to meet in-person due to changing guidelines, we will meet online.
