Art as a Healing Practice is back, with new content,
new workshops, and a new format!
Join us for one or more workshops, or the whole series,
and embrace the positive power of your own creativity.
I originally created Art as a Healing Practice almost twenty years ago. It emerged organically out of my own personal practice of blending guided meditation, visual art, and writing. Working with these modalities in sequence was, and is, a powerful part of my own healing journey, and, at some point I began to shape it
into a form that I could share with others. I have offered this body of work live in the studio as individual sessions, series, and retreats. I have crafted it to an online format, and a self-study workshop series. I have had the privilege to witness its powerful effects on many. Along the way, I have continued to refine and shift it. Over this past inward-focused year, Art as a Healing Practice has been incubating within me. I have had the sense that I was preparing for a new version.
I trust the period of incubation as an essential part of the creative process. With the coming of spring, I am happy to say it has finally emerged, and I am ready to share it with you. - Kathleen Horne, MA, LMHC, REACE, REAT

Art as a Healing Practice has transformed my life. So much healing and empowerment resulted from the practice. Kathleen's gentle voice during the meditation is always soothing and inviting. ~ Helen
Beginning in April, I will offer nine live, 3-hour, online monthly themed sessions. The workshops are powerful as a series, and each one is designed as a stand-alone experience. You can choose how many, and which ones, to sign up for. And if you want to register for all nine, you can do that and
save money.
Each live session will be recorded, so, if you miss it, or want to review it after, the recording will be available. (We will not record the small group sharing, to protect confidentiality of the participants.
I first became interested in Art As A Healing Practice to help with creative block. It not only helped my creative block, it changed my life and my creative process. It is a practice I truly believe in. - Karen
- Do you want to make more time for your creative practice?
- Are you feeling disconnected from your own creative wisdom?
- Would it be helpful to have a structure, a rhythm, and an experienced guide?
- Could you benefit from improved self-care?
- Do you want to try the expressive arts but are not sure where to start?
Art as a Healing Practice is an expressive arts process that embraces the positive power of creative work/play to change lives. It is a series of carefully guided themed sessions that each consist of a gentle and powerful blend of guided meditation, visual art, and writing.
Each workshop will include:
An introduction to the theme
A brief nature-based practice
A guided meditation
Art-making time
Writing prompts and writing time
Small group witnessing and sharing (optional)
Large group sharing (optional)
Extracting a nugget of wisdom to take, as a practice, into your life
Some additional components may be introduced at times:
Poetry (individual and collaborative)
Music
Gentle movement invitations
No previous art-making experience is needed.
Consider each workshop a mini-retreat.
You will be exploring on your own, while supported by a skilled guide and a creative community. You can choose whether, and how much, you share and engage with others.
Kathleen’s gentle guidance and encouragement provided a space for self discovery and renewal.
I loved being part of a group willing to explore and share their healing journeys through the creative process. - Sue
The themes are:
- Where Am I Now?
- Emotional Landscape
- Listening to the Body
- My Creative Self New
- My Spiritual Journey New
- My Ecological Self New
- The Mandorla: Working with Polarity
- The Mandala: Centering and Integration
- Synthesis
Over the past few years I have participated in a number of Art as a Healing Practice sessions. "Healing" is indeed the operative word, as these powerful gatherings have always led me to a greater understanding of myself and what I need to do to move forward on my journey. It is also just a beautiful opportunity to learn more about the expressive arts and to connect with like-minded
individuals on their own journeys. Kathleen creates a safe, nurturing and perfectly structured series that I promise will transform your life.
