What are the Expressive Arts?

Expressive Arts are for adults 18 and Up.

Our Expressive Arts classes for adults offer a unique, inter-modal process of coming home to yourself - an authentic, synchronous group and/or individual experience that invites insight, creativity, self-compassion, and connection. 

Our certified Expressive Arts Educator facilitates a safe and supportive, warm and welcoming, inclusive, calm, and enigmatic studio space. It’s a “Come as you are” approach, allowing for any and all ranges of emotions and abilities.  Expressive arts is a spiraling practice that includes some or all of the following modalities of expression: 

• Meditation

• Vocal toning

• Music 

• Poetry

• Creative writing 

• Intuitive movement 

• Visual art

• Witnessing

• Expression through dramatic arts

Our expressive arts classes require no art experience whatsoever. We provide a non-judgement atmosphere and welcome newcomers as well as old friends.

Our participants are guided in creating a visual art, typically with collage, tempera paint, watercolor, oil pastels, chalks, clay, etc… 

The visual art acts as a container, a canvas, or even a “guide” to express and communicate the feelings that emerge through the other modalities. 

Therefore, we encourage art that is completely process based (not product), using intuition to explore making marks on the paper. Seeing what emerges from your expression is respected as wisdom to take with you back into your heart and your life.
