This course will introduce you to processes designed to help you connect to yourself, release your blocks and open you up to new possibilities, by using your body and innate creativity.

Exploring the Feminine from the Personal to the Sacred
“We all come from the Goddess
And to Her we now return
Like a drop of rain
Flowing to the Ocean”
In this 2 day creative arts therapy course designed for both men and women, we will explore the impact of the Feminine on our lives personally, socially and spiritually. In a safe and playful environment, using art process, movement, guided imagery and writing, we travel deep into the images and stories of our feminine ancestry.
During the weekend we look at patterns of behavior and core beliefs inherited from the Motherline, address body image, issues of power and our relationship to the Sacred Feminine. Art materials included in course fee.
