Two Week Art Course:

HEALING THROUGH ART
with KARIN WERNER
The following training course in the visual arts adopts a holistic approach in learning for personal and professional development. The underlying position is that the arts are an inherent part of human nature, connecting to body feeling, sense perception, heartfelt passion and the creative mind.
Truly, everybody is an artist!

MAKING VISIBLE - BECOMING VISIBLE

Dates:
22 May - 5 June 2010
14 - 27 August 2010

Enthusiasm in life can be accessed more easily through art making than through most other activities, and so seems instrumental in finding health, purpose, self-esteem and fulfillment. Healing can occur when we take the responsibility for our creation, accepting it and appreciating it unconditionally. We create pathways for well being and health through our ongoing connection with the creative source. We strengthen our capacity to form new patterns in life and to trans-form old ones; acknowledging our efforts to live life as creators.
When fully acknowledged, the act of creating fosters joyful inner mobility through colour, line and form. It brings healthy constrast, increasing confidence and a fresh outlook onto new horizons in life.
In this approach there will be common ground for budding and accomplished artists alike. We connect artistic observation with vital aspects of how we see ourselves and the world. Tuition and support is given to practise painting, drawing and sculpting playfully and deeply, and to connect the arts with self, nature and inner work. There is time for reading and studying as well as keeping a sketchbook journal for reflection and integration.

The two-week course is non-residential and takes place at the Findhorn Foundation, The Park.
Tuition, venue, art materials, lunches and dinners are included in the fee.
