Our prompt: TO BELONG TO MYSELF. What does it mean to BELONG to myself? What do I believe in? What brings me ease? What do I love? When do I feel most open? What allows me to be in the NOW? What is the moment asking of me? How do I share myself and my heart with others so they too can feel and see me? We will ARRIVE, invited to warm up however we are called in the space – by self, with another and/or with the space itself. Materials will be surrounding the space to engage with. ~ Opening circle and self care practices– Through meditation, gentle movement and sound, we will explore what it means and feels like to belong to self ~ Authentic relating and movement with sensory exploration– Guided with blindfolds to create cozy connections with ourselves and each other ~ Storytelling and Expression– We will engage with creative materials to discover our stories and the creative ways we feel called to share, each having a chance to be seen and heard in our expression ~ Closing tea and snack circle accompanied with painting we share in together Please only confirm yes if you will definitely be attending! ❤️ MEET YOUR HOSTS: Jamie Lazan and Maddie Fontaine: Jamie (she/her): Founder of The Human Arts Collective, is an expressive arts facilitator, playful guide, educator and creative mentor with a background in trauma and resilience work.
