NEW CREATIVE COURSE FOR AGES 55+
Once again, Art Works Now has invited me to facilitate another free 8 week course as part of their Creative Aging Program in 2024 entitled Creative Revival! Creatives and "Creatives at Heart" who are 55 years of age or older are invited to unlock the transformative power of ageless wisdom and creative expression in this special virtual class. This 8-week immersive experience draws inspiration from two remarkable books on creativity: "12 Notes On Life and Creativity" by Quincy Jones and "It's Never Too Late to Begin Again" by Julia Cameron. The course provides a unique opportunity to explore the intersections of personal growth, artistic exploration, and a deeper connection with oneself. Each week we will delve into key themes and practices from the selected books, fostering a supportive and enriching environment for participants to journal creatively.

(Register by midnight on August 2) Intuitive collage is a practice of using magazine images and collage to connect with your inner wisdom or intuition. Participants will be guided through a simple meditation, then given time to create a collage card, followed by journal prompts to reflect on the meaning of their piece. All supplies are included but you may also bring your own. No artistic experience is necessary. This is a great and fun way to slow down, connect with yourself creatively, and tap into your inner wisdom. Register here. Face masks are recommended inside the gallery. Ladies, It's time to get your mojo back!
