“Do you find that sometimes your creativity hits a brick wall and you feel unmotivated, uninspired and low about your creative energy? We do too! So we have an introductory workshop on creating consciously and with the I am presence. This will support you in igniting the creative life force that exists within us all! We will begin by connecting with our own energy through bodywork and meditation leading into an art therapy session where we consciously create and intuit the artwork we have made.”
