You will learn how to use drawing pencils and other art supplies, how to compose a still life and drawing, how to see like an artist and what specific things to look for in your observation, and how to maintain mindfulness and self-encouragement through creative blocks.

You will begin with drawing simple objects and build up the knowledge and skill to be able to accurately draw complex subjects and scenes. By the end of the 8 weeks, you will be able to draw a complex subject such as an animal, and render different textures and surfaces like shiny, reflective, or furry surfaces. By the time you’re finished with this course, if you practice every lesson, you will have the skills to draw competently from observation!

Harvest Moon HeART Meditation and Yoga Celebration

harvest moon heART meditation + yoga celebration.png

Greet the Harvest Moon with a joyful creative yoga, meditation, art and journaling celebration guided by Lish Valentyn and Rosa Phoenix!

The Harvest Moon is a time to joyfully take stock of the abundance of the season--our strengths and what we've cultivated throughout the year--and let go of what no longer serves us, to move with a light heart into the autumn and winter.

Let's move gracefully into autumn by reflecting upon and celebrating the good things we've cultivated this year, letting go of what no longer serves us, and creating a meaningful work of art that expresses our intentions and strengths that will carry us forward.

Lish will guide the process of joyful creative movement, and Rosa will guide a process of self exploration and expression through mindful meditation, writing and art. All of this creative energy will be magnified by the full harvest moon!

This community celebration will energetically uplift and nourish your spirit so you will feel renewed and strengthened for the autumn and winter seasons.

We will enjoy an intentional art activity, guided meditation, yoga to bring the light of the harvest moon into our hearts, and radiate our beautiful light out to the world. We will end the celebration with a prayer for world peace.

$15

Things to know:

  • This will be an online celebration on Zoom. We will limit to 20 people.

  • Please make sure you have the Zoom app installed on your device ahead of time.

Creative Heart Healing: 6-week Online Art Journaling Workshop Series Saturdays Sept 26 - Oct 31, 2020

UPDATE: Postponed until September 26 due to wildfires in Oregon.

In this 6 week online workshop series, you’ll learn to unlock the healing power of your creativity. 

Learn a sacred creative practice that can help you to lower stress, increase positive emotions, open your intuitive channels, and nourish your soul.

The WISE Body Art Journal

is a method I have developed and used over the past 20 years to help me to deal with life challenges including stress, anxiety, depression, illness, grief, and trauma.

This method is a blend of visual art expression, creative visualization, journal writing, gentle movement, energy healing, guided meditations and breath work.

It’s a method that you can adapt to your own individual needs, and use for many years to come.

This method may be used by anyone, regardless of artistic skill level. 

Now, the time is right to share my creative healing method with you. 

I give you tons of tools from my experience as an artist, creativity coach, therapeutic art teacher, mindfulness meditation teacher, reiki healer, and facilitator of sacred circles.

Amazing things are possible, when you bypass the rational left brain and tap into the wise, wild, unlimited self that lives within your creative potential. You can:

  • Access your inner wisdom, and receive and interpret your own divine insights and guidance.

  • Effortlessly enter a meditative flow state that relieves stress and improves mood and outlook.

  • Learn to use the power of visualization to awaken to your own healing and manifesting ability.

  • Become more creative, inspired and confident.

  • Love and accept yourself more whole-heartedly.

What’s needed now more than ever, is that we express our whole selves with love and authenticity, and allow our creative gifts to flourish. 

This divine energy will ripple out and bring love and peace to the world.

I’m excited to be part of your creative healing journey!

The WISE Body Art Journal, our road map (course syllabus)

Week 1: Explore the language of color and mark-making. What is the WISE Body Art Journal method?

Learn to express your inner feelings non-verbally, and begin creating your own artistic language. 

Blessing hands guided meditation. Body scan guided meditation.

Week 2: Feeling and releasing. 

Feeling is healing. Explore uncomfortable or difficult feelings in the safety of your art journal. Feel so that you can release. When you let go, fresh energy can flow through you.

Body scan guided meditation. Grounding and letting go meditation.

Week 3: Symbolic shape-shifting.

Extrapolate and explore an element of your journal. Our unconscious may speak to us in shapes, symbols and metaphors. How can we play with, and relate with, the shape-shifters that emerge?

Create your own movement meditation with your shapes and symbols.

Week 4: Inner child healing. 

Create, image and dialogue with your inner child self, your most pure and creative self. Re-member, re-connect, re-integrate the precious parts of yourself that may have been lost.

Loving and accepting the inner child guided meditation.

Week 5: Imagining your future self. 

Visualize your desired state of well-being with the help of your wiser, elder self. Allow this wise future self to guide you.

Future self guided meditation. Grounding and golden suns guided meditation.

Week 6: Embody your desired state of being. 

Create an affirmative self portrait artwork, and an embodiment practice. 

Create your own heart meditation with affirmations.

In this class, you will receive: 

  • individualized feedback of your coursework

  • pdf worksheets of the course material

  • class recordings

  • 2 guided meditation audio recordings

You will also receive these bonuses:

  • 30-minute 1-1 call with me to help integrate the insights you receive from the class

Here’s what past participants have said:

“Thank you for the Emotional Healing through Art Journaling class. 

It was amazing and very healing. 

I got tears. 

I can see everything that (my body) is doing for me to heal. 

I have a way of communicating and expressing that.

I really love what I created and I really enjoyed it. 

I look forward to using this while I’m healing.”

- Darlene

“These are really good exercises to do. 

I’ve tried to do art and it’s always so clinical, 

like ‘Am I really expressing anything?’

This is a way that I could express things.”

- Stephanie

This class is limited to 8 participants to ensure a safe, intimate group setting with individual attention.

You may use your own art supplies that you like (a list of suggested supplies will be sent out after you sign up).

Emotional Healing through Art Journaling Online Class

In this class series, Rosa Phoenix shares the WISE Body Art Journal,

a tool for developing a better relationship with the body, potentially exploring health or body image issues, with the aim of enhanced well-being and greater self-love.

This method involves "mapping" the body through drawing or using other art methods, as well as exploratory journaling using writing prompts, interspersed with guided meditations and gentle movement and breathwork. This is a method Rosa Phoenix used to cope with her own health conditions.

The WISE Body Art Journal may be used by anyone, regardless of their artistic skill level.

This method helps people to access the creative flow, leading to heightened inspiration, intuition and the “inner knowing” of the body. Developing this awareness encourages healing and balance. 

This class is for adults and teens.
