with guest artist Sara Jane Harris
Sometimes life is a balancing act, even on the inside. This workshop invites you to connect with your mind, body, and heart through music, visual art, writing, and more. You will explore what is taking up more emotional real estate than you prefer and how to restore internal harmony.
Suggested Materials:
*The list below is just a guide. We can work with whatever you have on hand. You can go as simple or wild as you feel like, but there is definitely no need to run to Michaels or place an emergency Amazon Prime order!
- Access to music
- digital/phone/computer is easiest, but cd’s, records, and tapes are just fine
- Plain paper for drawing or painting
- The larger the better if you have it
- Heavier weight paper holds watercolor and glue better if need be
