Etain Creativity Workshops

Essence Series Workshops: This series of four 3-hour sessions provides an opportunity to explore the creative process and relate it to a vision for the future—for our selves and for our planet. The course of the series follows the path of the seasons, allowing for an experience of rich communion with the natural world. Utilizing collage as an artistic medium, with nature as a guide, participants are encouraged to allow their natural intuition and imagination to inform choices and point the way to an honoring of their own unique, innate capacity for creative thought and action.

Essence Series:

LuminEssence (Winter)—Uncovering the light within and cultivating trust in oneself as an endlessly creative being.

NumenEssence (Spring)—Recognizing your "wants" as the seeds of creativity.

NurturEssence (Summer)—That aspect of who we are that cultivates and nourishes creative dreams, ideas, and heartfelt desires.

NaturEssence (Autumn)—Harvesting your bountiful creativity. Are you willing to do what it takes to manifest your intention and create the life/world you want?

Also available:

The Everyday Artist: A 2-hour collage workshop especially for "non-artists" that provides an opportunity to express your own unique, innate artistic flair. Past workshop themes have included: Peace, Play, Community, Joy, Environment, Discovery, and Creative Vision.

Embracing Your Creative Potential: Perfect for anyone who would like to explore more deeply his or her own creative process. Tools include collage as well as simple drawing and writing exercises.

Creating a Collage Journal: Incorporating pictures and words in a way that is fun as well as personally revealing, collage journals are a powerful creative outlet for the expression of thoughts, feelings, and dreams.
