Living on the Edge: An Expressive Arts Retreat for Navigating Difficult Times 5 - 8 August 2022

 We are living in particularly challenging times. This retreat is a gift to yourself of a beautiful container, a safe space to explore, draw, play, experiment, rest, release and let go.

The aim is that by coming together for this hour, using meditation and a meditative drawing exercise to warm up both our physical and psychological creative muscles, you will create the right conditions to start your day in the studio. If like me you find the hardest part is getting through the door of your studio, setting aside time, not letting other ‘important’ things get in the way, then this is a way we can all commit to at least a morning of creative practice. Start with this hour, and set the intention to stay present until at least midday if you can. It doesn’t matter what you do during that time - drawing, painting, making, writing, reading, sleeping, walking, playing, singing or dancing - the important things is that you are present.
