Welcome to a summertime explosion of Sage-ing energy that will get your creative juices flowing...!
Join us to explore creative ways to examine your life and prepare for your own personal
"what's next?"
paper, crayons or colored markers, and a pen on hand,
and let the magic begin. No artistic skills needed. Of this work a client said,
"You don't have to be an artist but will find you are one!"
In this webinar you will: Practice using art in surprising ways, discover music to help you sleep, cope with stress, and manage pain, and experiment with delightfully simple poetry for contemplating your legacy, with a touch of whimsy.
We will open the Webinar
with a simple breathing
exercise to center and
be present for ourselves, then
experiment with creative expression as another contemplative practice along our Sage-ing journey. Using your supplies you will have time to practice creative expression for self-discovery. Sign up for the Green Room afterward,
and share your art and your experience if you choose.
