We are so excited to announce our Summer Solstice Sale! On the summer solstice we have the longest day of light during the year. Just as the sun shines its light, we too are reminded to cultivate the light within. We hope you will find the nourishment needed to tend to your inner flame through your creative
practice. For more information on the sale, scroll down to the self-study section of the newsletter. We also have a few new workshops coming up this summer! Take a look below at the "Save the Date" section for all upcoming classes & events! Summer rains came this week to our area in Sarasota. We received more nourishing rain than our parched earth knew what to do with. The ponds and pools are filling up fast. The pond behind my (Tamara) home tripled in size overnight. In between the showers I spent some time admiring the new life signs of the resurrection fern and lantana in our yard. Ressurection fern is an epiphyte that lives on the oak tree trunks and branches. It can lose up to 75% of it's water
during dry spells. It often looks quite dead; dried, brittle, and shriveled up. When it rains enough, it comes to life - glistens with moisture and turns the most brilliant green, refreshed and renewed. Similarly, my lantana was looking like it might not make it as it grew longer and stretched itself to find some nutrition to sustain its life. I started watering it a few weeks ago to help it until the rains came and it patiently hung on. With the additional rains it has grown even more full and
is blossoming so joyfully I smile every time I look at it. I am reminded how my creative practice can shrink or even dry up at times until I give it some energy and nourish it. I have been spending more time making art these past few weeks and now I wake up thinking about it. It came right back to life, is ready to
thrive and I am so grateful and happy to receive its blessings. I hope you will infuse your art practice with some new nourishment - perhaps a new process, a little more time, set aside a new space or clean off the space you used to use. Feed your practice some time and attention. As you nourish it, it will begin to grow and then blossom. You might like to experiment with
some new art materials. Observe nature and create a piece of art in response. If you would like to share in the Facebook
group, we look forward to witnessing. Also, make sure to scroll down to see all upcoming events, our featured self-study course, and information on our Certificate Training Program! Our next start date is in October. With gratitude, Tamara, Kathleen, and the Expressive Arts Florida Team |
