ART AND INSIGHTS: Workshop For You!
This dynamic three hour group workshop, where art insights meets vibrational healing, will give you the opportunity to reveal and remove unconscious blocks, discover how to access gateways to new ideas, learn new and fun ways of problem solving that invoke your deeper wisdom, and learn simple tools that you can use every day to revitalise body, mind and soul.
The workshop is a powerful experience, which involves creative activity, experimental art [drawing], vibrational therapy, meditation and the ancient Chinese practice of QiGong. It does not matter if you consider yourself an artist or not, you can access greater insights and higher wisdom through art.
OCTOBER WORKSHOP
BRISBANE
Our next Art and Insights workshop will be Saturday 1 October 9.30 am - 12.30 pm at the Quaker meeting rooms 10 Hampson St, Kelvin Gove, Brisbane.
THE WORKSHOP
A Brief Description.
- The workshop involves two types of meditation, one short 'dumping' process and the other a slightly longer one, which Gabriele leads, to assist you in seeing different perspectives.
- There's a discussion about symbolism, its history, what it might mean to us now, personal symbols, transient and age-old ones. This discussion is lead by Kathryn, a visual artist with a keen interest in symbolism.
- There's some ancient Chinese QiGong which Gabriele leads. It's a fantastic invigorating and energising technique, that takes only a few minutes. Gabriele recently went to China to work on her own QiGong. Here's a photo she took of a QiGong master in his 80s! We don't make you do anything like this though! Rather, Gabriele introduces you to a self massage type of slapping. Believe us...it is really great.
- After a cup of tea we then get to the drawing section of the workshop. You don't need to be an artist! However, you do have to pick up crayons and pencils to explore ideas of symbolism. The first drawing is a 'dumping' one, to really purge the things you may have 'dumped' in the short meditation. After this drawing, and with Kathryn's guidance, you then embark on other drawings which tease out some of the elements you, with Kathryn's help, have identified at things you want to pursue. You will create a number of drawings! And, you will have fun... and find you may have released a lot of tension and stress, at the same time as feeling really good about yourself. Your creativity will be stirred and excited! Part of the drawing process is to experiment with different perspectives too...literal and metaphoric.
- At the end of the workshop you will do some reflection, either just with yourself or you may like to share it with the other participants [there will never be more than 15 to ensure individual attention]. The workshop finishes with another short session of QiGong.
Each workshop is different, because both Gabriele and Kathryn respond to each person and each group dynamic.
At this link below you will find a list of outcomes you may experience. Of course there may be other outcomes we have not witnessed or thought about. The workshop is experiential, thus each person will experience different things. It is not simply a 'how to' workshop. It is a deep exploratory experience which will stir your creativity and imagination, both important elements in creating and coping with change, problem solving, life enjoyment, personal and business relationships and so on.
