Your Creative Self - Exploring Your Relationship to
Your Creativity
We just added a new mini-workshop to our
free creative resources
for you.
Kathleen's new video guides you in an exploration of your relationship with your creativity, using a nature witnessing process.
We think you will like it.
All you need is a natural object, and pen and paper, and about 10 minutes.
Creative Self, Spiritual Journey, and Ecological Self
are the 3 brand new Art as a Healing Practice Workshops
that Kathleen is offering in 2021.
There are now 3 Art as a Healing Practice choices -
Is one of these right for you?
Are you interested in a deeper exploration and a supportive community?
I am gathering together a small group (up to 20) who want to dive more deeply into the Art as a Healing Practice themes. In addition to the nine workshops (live and recorded) this group will come together in a moderated sharing forum to witness images, writings, ideas, and questions, and to support one another.
I envision this as a group of creative seekers who will, with me, more thoroughly investigate each of the themes and build a supportive creative community over our 9 months together.
You will have the opportunity to share your images and writing for witnessing by me, and the group. I will post resources and additional discussion questions to deepen your engagement with the themes. We will provide community support for individual creative exploration.
This option is ideal for anyone who wants to make a personal commitment to a creative healing journey and to engage in a small, caring, guided community to support your practice.
Art as a Healing Practice is a model that can become part of your life, both personally and professionally.

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.
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 Read my bio here
Whichever option you choose, I look forward to supporting you on your creative healing journey.
