By the end of this class, you will have created 3 unique works of art, completed 3 creative exercises and compiled 2 assisting worksheets!

This class will teach you how to creatively manage difficult emotions and practice mindful self care & self awareness through artistic expression. Whenever we find ourselves facing difficult, complex situations, the first thing we need to do is to clear our minds. Then, with a peaceful mind, we can start identifying our inner resources and build confidence to face the situation. Fully self aware, we can approach the experience with new eyes, in a healthy, soothing way.

In this class’ project we will go through three easy and actionable creative exercises, which require NO previous experience or any special skill. We will calm the seas (our brains), build the ship (our confidence) and then set to sail.

Once we have our 3 works of art, we will start making sense of them by using our Dictionary and Introspection worksheets, from the Resources tab.

To get the absolute best of this class, I highly suggest you share your project with the rest of us! You’ll be amazed by how many people will relate to your creation and what new and fresh perspective you can get through someone else’s eyes.
