Dear Creative Ones, We are excited as we look forward to all the ways our creative energies can come together and support our collective growth.
This week Tamara will join with Anne again for an Expressive Writing and Art Retreat in person! Returning to gathering in person is such a treat and still feels new and like home all at the same time. We are also planning on having a monthly Open Studio in person and for the first time in three years, a SoulCollage® retreat too!. We are fortunate to have a lovely space to work in that also includes a labyrinth, which we will incorporate into the experience. Along the theme of Dreams, we invite you to find ways to engage your imagination, return to your intentions, and open spaces to allow something new to emerge. As the New Lunar Year commences and we round the corner of the first month of 2023, notice what nourishes you most and calls your soul forward. We hope to see you in the circle soon. With love and gratitude, Tamara & Kathleen DREAMS: Expressive Writing & Art Retreat IN-PERSON with Anne Hofland & Tamara Knapp Friday, February 3, 10 am - 2 pm First Congregational Church, Sarasota Dreams are a mysterious and fascinating part of our lives. Some of us dream by night, some of us by day. Dreams can offer insights into our daily lives, into our goals and aspirations, into our hopes for the planet. As we travel through the darkest time of the year back into the light, let us spend some time with our dreams. In this workshop, participants will engage in both expressive writing and art in response to prompts
related to dreams, immersing ourselves in them and exploring them creatively. Everyone is inherently both a writer and an artist; everyone can create art using both words and simple art materials. These creative activities can offer us a vehicle to better understand ourselves and each other, can empower us
to find our voice and our vision, and can provide a transformative and healing experience. Anne and Tamara are your compassionate, expert guides.

During this workshop we will draw upon the practice of SoulCollage® as an engaging tool for self-care. SoulCollage® is a fun and easy way to express yourself, care for yourself, discover and affirm your inner wisdom. Together

pre-requiste to our Certificate Training Program. EAFI 110: Dive In to Expressive Arts Intermodal Intensive - Live Online March 28-31 Your next opportunity to begin our Certificate Training Program If you are considering training and want to experience one of our courses, we are
welcoming a few non-student participants. This core course, which we have come to call Dive-In to Expressive Arts – is just that – a deep dive into intermodal expressive arts and a gift to yourself. The
essence of expressive arts is the way it weaves different modalities together – visual art-making, rhythm, movement, poetry, sound, drama, journaling, and more. It is, essentially, a process of remembering something that was likely once natural. By becoming fluent in intermodal process we deepen our own holistic practice and become attuned to how to work with others. LAST CHANCE FOR MEMBERSHIP DISCOUNT!
