Dear Creative Friend, We have been waiting for the right time to tell you...we have an exciting announcement to make! 😄 Tamara will be leading a LIVE 5 day Mindful Art Play Days event at the end of July! |
|
| For 1 hour every day I (Tamara) will show you how to be intentionally playful, while using expressive arts as a tool for mindfulness.
😄 Each session will follow a theme & we'll use simple visual art materials and expressive arts practices (gentle movement, visual arts & writing) to relax and have fun! 🎨 |
We will explore: 💠 Dripping 💠 Doodling 💠 Resisting 💠 Bubbling 💠 Connecting 🗓 Mindful Art Play Days starts July 22 and goes through July 26. |
And the best part is...it's only $10 for all 5 days! For just $10 you'll receive an all-access pass to FIVE live painting sessions; a supply guide; a workbook; a private Facebook community; drawing templates; and more! Registration will open next week, but we wanted to let you know so you can mark your calendars! All sessions will be
recorded, so if you can't make the times you can still view the lessons in the Facebook group for a few more weeks. |

In other news, did you see our Summer Solstice Sale announcement? It's going now through the end of June. As our gift to you, save 25% off all self-study courses including EAFI 100 Creative Wisdom. 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! One of the self-study courses "Mandala: Universal Symbol of
Transformation" has been updated and is a beautiful guide for creating or expanding a personal practice using mandalas, or sacred circles. Mandalas are everywhere! They are inside of us and all around us. They are the cosmos and celestial bodies like sun and moon. This past week we experienced Summer Solstice - marking the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. It is the
midpoint in the cycle of the Earth around the sun when we turn a corner toward winter and summer officially begins (or winter if you are in the southern hemisphere). There are no corners in circles, though! They contain all of the cycle and keep moving around. When you get to the end, you begin again. This weekend the lunar cycle matched up with the solar cycle and we had a strawberry moon (first moon of summer) to mark the change of seasons. It feels like we are surrounded by cycles and circles
- and we are! Here are some inspirational mandalas by Kathleen... All of this is to say that a mandala practice connects us as a part of Nature and we invite you to consider a mandala practice - daily, weekly, or even monthly. If you are not sure how to begin, consider the self-study course to support you. Or play around with circles -
look for them throughout your day. Trace a circle on paper and fill it with anything you like. Then write it's message. If you would like to share in the Facebook
group, we look forward to witnessing. See you in the circle soon. With gratitude, Tamara, Kathleen, and the Expressive Arts
