Dear Creative One, Every act of kindness created with a heart of love contributes to the healing of our world. We know that you do so much to help others and that your healing work is greatly needed. We hope that you will take some
time this week for self-care in any way that feels the most loving for you. One way to increase your ability to give to others is to use your expressive arts practice to renew yourself so you can make a more positive impact on the world around you. As we send love to those suffering in the world, in our communities near and far, we also return to the
restorative practice of engaging with art materials and our imaginations. We access inner resources needed to fill our own wells through our own expressive arts personal practices which helps us to be available and present for others. This week, we are offering some self-love to our website, which showed us it needed a little extra care. We also invite you to create some love filled moments for yourself
through your practice. Play with new or favorite art supplies, read a book of poetry, dance to lively music, take a walk in nature- whatever feels like the most loving thing you can do for you. We send you love and hope to see you in the circle soon! Tamara & Kathleen

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.
