Where Am I Now?
Monday May 9
6-9 pm EDT
Join me, and other creative seekers, on Zoom, from wherever you are, to shine the light of your own creative wisdom on the potent question:
Where Am I Now?
In order to make change, to achieve goals, to find our way from where we are to where we want to be, we must start right here, in the now.
This Art as a Healing Practice session will allow you to ground yourself and witness yourself, in your "Now Period", through a series of gentle and powerful expressive arts practices.

The Emotional Landscape
Monday May 23
6-9 pm EDT
In this workshop, you will be invited to look within and explore your current emotional state. This is a powerful and helpful way to connect with yourself in the present moment, and bring your compassionate mindful attention to your inner experience.
By considering our emotions as a landscape, we are invited to move from the literal to the imaginal and to engage with the complexity of the inner territory and discover its wisdom through image-making and writing.
Listening to the Body
Monday June 20
6-9 pm EDT
Listen to the messages and wisdom of your body through the gentle and powerful Art as a Healing Practice model. Tune in to your somatic experience and receive the information your body is giving you.
As your guide, I will offer you some creative invitations to encounter this theme, and you can engage with it in your own way.
Your Creative Self
Monday August 8
6-9 pm EDT
What is your relationship to your creativity? How has it been shaped and developed over time? What is it asking of you now?
Our creative birthright, when fully reclaimed, is an unparalleled resource and a source of joy and wellbeing.
Your Spiritual Journey
Monday August 22
6-9 pm pm EDT
How has your spiritual journey evolved over time? What has shaped this aspect of you? What is most potent for you at this time in your life?
Your Ecological Self
Monday September 26
6-9 pm EDT
Explore your Ecological Self, through an integrated expressive arts process. What is your relationship to the natural world? How has your ecological awareness been shaped and developed over time? Through this gentle and powerful process, listen deeply for any messages that are emerging.
We are not separate from the natural world. By developing an awareness of our ecological self, we begin to heal the split and live the connection with increased consciousness and intention.
Exploring a Polarity: The Mandorla
Monday October 17
6-9 pm EDT
What are you currently experiencing as a polarity, or point of tension in your life? Perhaps it is something that you go back and forth on, and resolution is elusive.
In this step-by-step expressive arts process, create a mandorla (Venn diagram, Vesica Piscis) as a powerful container to explore that polarity in a new way. The mandorla is a geometric form that is made up of 2 overlapping circles. Through art-making and writing, a new path is invited to emerge.
Centering: The Mandala
Monday November 7
6-9 pm EST
'Mandala' is a Sanskrit word meaning 'sacred circle' or simply 'circle'. Discover the gentle power of creating a personal mandala to invoke centering and integration.
Creating within a circle invokes a sense of wholeness and invites us to connect with our essence.
You can revisit this meditation again and again, through the recording, whenever you are seeking a centering experience.

6-9 pm EST
Synthesize and complete your experience with the Art as a Healing Practice work. Whether you have participated in one session or the whole series, this workshop will assist you in more fully assimilating your experience.

The Art as a Healing Practice created by Kathleen Horne has always been a favorite. I really enjoy the different prompts and creative applications used to lead me on a new journey of self discovery about an aspect of self. Buried wisdoms and affirmations reveal themselves in color, line and theme as
Kathleen gently guides and holds the space to witness and be witnessed in group. Each workshop is an important stand alone, to later be integrated and harvested again in an exciting final cumulative piece. Weaving together clarity, insights and intentions to inform my present and ongoing life course. So many possibilities for healing, transformation and growth. -Julia A.
Art as a Healing Practice is designed to be a creative, growth-enhancing, self-discovery experience. It is not psychotherapy, nor is it expressive arts training; it can, however, be a powerful complement to either. Questions? Email
