Holiday Art Walk and Creative Opportunities for You

Hi ,

As we move from autumn into winter, how are the cycles reflected in our lives?

What can we let go of and what do we embrace as we move into the New Year?

During the holiday time, how can we keep our center, embrace the rhythm of the season, and focus on what is most important?

We believe in the power of our creativity, and we know that you do, too.  When we enter the studio, invite the dance, bring our hands to the drum, open our voice, or craft a haiku, we are returning to our inner wisdom, listening to the deeper truth that can so easily get lost in the din of daily life.

When we create a handmade card for a loved one or make a gift together, we reconnect through the heart. When we ask inwardly for an intention for the coming year, we are re-setting our course in alignment with our dreams.

Remember the abundance of your own creativity and invite it fully into your life. Invite deeper contemplation as you move into the longer darkness of the winter solstice.

And let us know how it's going! We are here to support your creative expression. If you have an idea for something you would like to see, let us know. You can email us - institute@expressiveartsflorida.com, give us a call at 941-366-9595, or post on our Facebook page.

Join us at the Towles Court Holiday Artwalk! Friday December 19, 6-9 pm.
All the galleries and shops will be open, with music and refreshments. We will have some creative opportunities and we would love to see you. (Remember, we are across Adams Lane from the main part of Towles Court, and we have some great new neighbors that you will want to visit as well.)
