Imagine taking two and half hours a week, for eight weeks, and dedicating that time to yourself and your creativity.  Imagine spending that time exploring each of the seven chakras, or energy centers in your body, through a short, guided meditation and then creating a collage that explores the colors and symbols of that chakra.  At the end of seven weeks, you’d have seven collages, and you’d have that eighth week to discuss and integrate them – even figure out to connect them or display them.  You don’t just have to imagine it, you can do it!  

All materials will be provided.  However, if you want to bring images or objects to the first class that symbolize or include the color red, the color brown, roots, feet, hips, the spine, grounding, earth, courage, vitality, confidence, will, stability, or your relationship to the material world, feel free to do so.  

Curious to see what participants  in the fall class created?  Check out the blog post here and see pictures of some of the finished collages!

What People Are Saying About This Class:

"Class was so much fun!  I appreciate your multitude of ideas, supplies, techniques, and suggestions.  What a great way to spend 8 weeks.  I can't say enough good things.  My only disappointment would be that class is over."
