Ritual in Watercolor: Painting workshops weaving together presence with embodied creative flow

These workshops are explorations in how we create the spaces of sacredness and ritual, to give ourselves more fully to the creative spark that is present within each of us. The class will be taught with mindful compassion, and offer practices for setting up your own space so that you can give yourself fully to your art practice. We will learn simple tools and tricks for building your best environment, and learning how to work with watercolor as a medium. Using subjects from life that we have either foraged together, or have been provided for us, we will learn how to thoughtfully arrange our subjects and paint what we can observe and sense in our most open awareness. This class is for anyone who desires to support their own creative practice with more reverence, play, and intentionality, and for anyone interested in learning how to work with watercolor within that context. This class is open to both practiced watercolor painters and beginners.

My hope is that you can take these practices with you, and find ways to create ritual, play, and a sense of ceremony around any day to day happenings in your life, infusing the mundane with the magical.
