Dear With compassion
and deep listening we connected to Spirit and Soul in creative community this week. Our week began with the final Expressive Arts in the World workshop, where we learned about the important work of First Aid of the Soul from Nathalie Robelot-Timtchenko and the Compassion in Times of War that they have shared with so many in Ukraine in the last year and half. On Friday, Tamara and Renee co-facilitated Deep Calls to Deep for Spiritual Directors using expressive arts. The power of this work reaches deeply within and out into the
suffering of the world to provide connection, community, and healing. Our images connect us to what is most sacred within us and in others. The arts bring us together in ways that are often otherwise challenging. They provide different expansive ways of knowing that feed our soul and help us to be authentic and present. “When the Soul wants to experience something, she throws out an image before her and steps into it.” -Meister Eckhardt We invite you to sit quietly and consider the qualities of soul. Make a list of five or more qualities. Consider colors, textures, shapes, symbols that resonate with soul for
you. Create an image, move your body to express the qualities. Feel them in your body, take in the images with your heart. Spend some time reflecting through writing. |
With gratitude for you, and this ever-blossoming creative community, Tamara, Kathleen, and the Expressive Arts Florida Team What's happening this week? We would love to see you in the circle! |
