Course Catalog Description:: This experiential course offers a dynamic mix of art and yoga with the goal of tapping into your creativity, cultivating a strong sense of embodiment and intuitive intelligence, and developing self-awareness. Each class opens with yoga and meditation, which leads into guided creative exercises with various art materials, and ends with structured time to share. Calming the mind/body and centering into self-presence at the beginning of class lets us shift from the outer turmoil and stresses of ordinary life, awakening the natural calm and ease within. It is from this place that we explore creative expression - through drawing, painting, image-making, writing, and movement - connecting with ourselves in a deeper, freer way. Together we create a supportive community that encourages each of us to learn, explore, and grow. This class is for all levels: although welcome, no previous art or yoga experience is necessary. Most important is an open mind and a willingness to experiment with creative and somatic practices. A materials list will be sent out to students prior to first day of class.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
