Craft a Soul Story
Join me for a free intro on...Wednesday, October 2nd from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm EST. Register: HERE.
In this four week series, participants will create a short (5 to 15 minute) piece with words and movement as well as other arts such as drawing or sound/music, if desired. This will be based on your life stories. We will focus on potent themes of your human journey.
The focus will be on the soul. I think of the soul as being an essential part of our Selfhood. It captures something of our essential qualities that are unique to each individual. When we speak of the soul, it evokes a feelings of depth and meaning. While I don't claim to know the exact nature of the soul, it seems to have a texture and a capacity to make us feel deeply and connect to others. Being in the seat of the soul leads us closer to our heart, its gifts and longings.
Over the course of our journey, we get a chance to be seen and heard. It is powerful to be witnessed for the essence of who we are. It connects us to our purpose. Knowing who we are, beyond our titles and material objects, can be a source of resilience when times are difficult.

In the crafting process, I guide us through embodied practices to uncover stories that emerge from our bones, from deep within. We get comfortable with sharing our life vignettes. We explore these stories with movement, sound, drawing and writing. Each week, we will put together a nugget of our story and practice it for each other. By the end, we have made a short individual piece as well as weave in some co-creations with each other.
You do not need to have any experience with these modalities. You don't need to come with any skill or talent. This experience is less about creating great "art" (though it could be) and more about the nourishment that comes through the process of creation. Every person has this capacity. Trust that this is within you, that there is something of value to be seen even if it may appear humble at first.
If you feel drawn to join, please see the details below. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

As we land more deeply in the body and in our creative practice, sometimes buried feelings emerge. I will offer tools for moving through these feelings, and at the same time, it is important to be aware that this may happen and already have some self-awareness and capacity to be with your feelings. You also might want to schedule 10 to 15 minutes after sessions for some integration time.

-Listen to others without interrupting.
