Whether we utilize art
expression as a medicine
in the service of healing
from illness, for maintaining a
vibrant state of wellness, or for
allowing for the spontaneous
expression of spirit, it brings
to us the opportunity of
remembering our wholeness.

"We have a
chance to
'get out of our own way,'
and to enter an altered state
of awareness that is
inherently self-healing."
Come
and experience a day of art, movement and music expression!
Exploring creative pathways, you will
have the opportunity to:
create
a unique 'Body Map,' as you
expand your awareness of your internal rhythms,
tap into the wisdom that is contained deep within,
bring your own images to light, and
access the boundless potential for creativity, self-understanding,
and joy!
Within each of us is a language that reveals the truth of our thoughts, and emotions. That language is our inner imagery: images describe our experiences with a depth that words cannot achieve, at times conveying powerful messages that have otherwise remained out of our awareness. If you pay attention, your emerging imagery will reveal information about the movement and the meaning in your life.
In
this workshop, you will have the opportunity to experience
a unique and powerful 'Body Map' process, which Ms. Lubbers has
developed and utilized in her work with clients and workshop participants
for over two decades.
We will elicit your body's participation in this process, enhanced by the healing vibrations of music, and mindfulness, to encourage a "full bodied" experience. Art and movement experiences, along with guided visual and sound meditations bring greater access to our inner wisdom; from our bodies, our emotions, our minds, and our souls.
Darcy
Lubbers, ATR, MFT will be your facilitator for this transformational
workshop. She brings together her experience as a body-centered psychotherapist
and the related modalities of somatically oriented art therapy, guided
imagery, focusing oriented therapy, meditation, yoga, hellerwork, and
movement expression.
Christopher Pellani will be a guest presenter for the workshop, creating the healing music, utilizing sacred sound principles and rhythm awareness for transformation and healing. Christopher is a dynamic multi-percussionist, vocalist, producer, sound healer and practicing Kriya Yogi with extensive world-wide performance credits.
No prior art experience is necessary to enroll for this workshop. Simply bring yourself, and your openness to explore new forms of communicating with your deeper self. Every person has the ability to project their inner imagery into graphic, visual form, regardless of their talent or skill.
Art
expression…
• is the first touchstone to our thoughts and memories, giving
rise to the familiar phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words".
• forms a bridge to parts of our selves that have remained out
of our awareness.
• provides a creative pathway for expressing and resolving emotional
issues.
• activates the inner healing mechanisms that are an inherent
part of our nature.
• creates a visual record outside of our self for further reflection.
Whether
we utilize art expression as a medicine in the service of healing
from illness, for maintaining a vibrant state of wellness, or for allowing
for the spontaneous expression of spirit, it brings to us the opportunity
of remembering our wholeness. By experiencing our essence as timeless,
we can indeed touch eternity.
