Every year, I maintain an expressive arts practice with the intention to heal something inside myself. This past year, I have been taking small daily steps toward creating 365 mandalas, with the intention to deepen into more emotional calm.
This is the longest creative practice I have ever done, and it is taking a good while to complete! Working full-time for many years, I have learned that it does not have to take a long time to upkeep a daily creative practice.
I have created almost 250 mandalas so far, and I only spend about 15-30 minutes drawing, colouring and painting a day.
Weekend Collage Practice
Working as a therapist during the week, I lovingly delve into the roots and reasons for emotional pain. In my work, the balance of play is essential for balance.
On the weekends, I play around with spontaneous collage. My affirmative collage practice uplifts me. It involves creating with colours, patterns and encouraging words. And, it is so different from the spontaneous collage practices I have done in the past, which involved clearing a lot of emotional pain.
Video Module
I have so enjoyed bringing my whole heart into creating teaching videos - combining sound, music, emotion, spontaneous thoughts and expressive art into one creative montage. It is my delight to invite you into my studio, and to chat with you as I create my weekend collages and daily mandalas!
In my year-long expressive art and writing course, I share some of my most intimate creations, as well as expressive art demo videos. Join me in my studio as I demonstrate how I create spontaneous collages, expressive poetry and intuitive mandalas for emotional healing! Join me!
