Expressing and Discovering Your Sensual Goddess
Pastel painting with artist Dawn Meader
Sunday 31 January, Centre for Sustainable Living
This workshop is so much fun. Create a life-size Goddess drawing of yourself and learn all about the power of turquoise and coral to help you experience and express your senses. Turquoise is playful, spontaneous and enhances clear, creative communication.
Coral is sensitive, empathic, caring and wisely gentle. We use dance to warm up with essential oils, aura soma and music to create an environment in which you can paint and draw effortlessly and tune into that part of yourself that intuitively knows how to create. The life-size Goddess picture of yourself will reflect the expression of different senses within your body. Every colour relates to a different sense. For example, the heart and green are related to the sense of touch, so, when you draw your heart you will awaken it with touch.
Ring Nicola on 9848 3113 or 0421 633 124 and visit dawnmeader.com OR email Nicola at nlebreton@westnet.com.au
Fee including all materials: $130.00
