Purpose

A space to connect

We are living in a world of disconnection, touch deprivation, and isolation. We are also living fast-paced lives, running towards our goals, our children’s goals, or the goals of bosses, parents, or partners.

Pressure.

Pressure to perform, please, care, complete, grow, change, be better.

Too much pressure.

ART ON SUNDAYS is a space to slow down, connect with yourself, and perhaps connect with others. This is a space for inspiration, growth, and support.

ART ON SUNDAYS offers meditation, mindful practices, loving-kindness care, and creativity

ART ON SUNDAYS never seeks to make “good art.” Art is a language, fluid, messy, clean…whatever needs to be expressed. Here you will learn to express the voice of the mind, body, and soul (or whatever you call that soft, never-changing part of yourself) through creative practices

ART ON SUNDAYS does not focus on the individual but on the group and the process of creating and developing practices of self-care through a creative lens. ALL adults are welcome and ALL bodies, minds, and voices are safe and accepted in this space. I hope to meet you there.

Who what where and when

All adults over 18, group art therapy sessions, weekly zoom meetings at 11:00 am on Sundays.

Taping the edges before painting creates clean lines adding a professional touch to your creations. While we love the look of a clean line, the most important part about making art is the process. Have fun and lean into whatever joy arises while you paint!! Happy creating!!

From where does our fear of creativity arise? A blank canvas can stare back at us like our most vicious opponents. Let us stare back, with curiosity. Let go of the need to create beauty. Allow mistakes to be made. Allow your hands to be free as they were when they were young. A blank page is not a threat to a four-year-old, it is an opportunity. Give yourself permission to be young at heart, and to play. Through play, there is joy.

Exercise: Playful Drawing to Music

Materials: Paper, music, and a drawing tool

Put on music. Whatever music feels right for this moment. Place a drawing tool on the paper and allow your hand to flow with the rhythm of the music. Try not to plan, or think, but to feel. Feel the music guide your hand. Feel the paper under your skin. Feel the air around you. Notice the lines that flow from your pen. Feel the freedom of that flow. Let go of expectations or judgments. Allow yourself to sink into the process.
