A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
​
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.​

Heart wisdom is the flow of deep awareness and intuitive knowing that arises from the synchronous alignment between the physical body, mind, and emotions.
​
In this workshop, You will be guided to connect with your intuition and enter symbolic conversations between your heart and other parts of your body, revealing messages from the deep wisdom within.
Through creative embodiment practices of somatic-expressive movement/dance, somatic meditation and visualization, expressive drawing, reflective writing, and empathetic collaboration.
We'll delve into the profound wisdom held within our bodies, listening with our hearts.
Each body part carries its own narrative, symbolically reflecting various themes in our lives.
Through movement and expression, we'll enter creative dialogues between our hearts and other body parts, listening deeply to the messages they communicate.
These insights will offer clarity on our challenges and empower us with newfound resources, enhancing our connection with ourselves and the world around us.
This offering is grounded on the Tamalpa Life/Art Process®: a pioneer science-based approach to embodied psychology, trauma healing, creativity, and social justice; connecting us to the wisdom of our bodies and the earth through Somatic Movement/Dance and Expressive Arts.
This offering is for folks who identify as women.
We welcome all bodies and levels of experience.
Facilitator's Note:
Intuition is a practice of trusting our bodies’ subtle cues.
Especially in a world where we are exposed to immense pain and grief so often, disconnecting from our feelings and sensations - and from ourselves - is an understandable consequence.
Making space to practice deep sensory awareness and to move with all that is within us with tenderness helps us to find grounding, release, and clarity, and to realign ourselves with our heart’s wisdom, so that we can trust its innate capacity to guide us in a way that invites less overthinking and greater joy and pleasure into our daily lives.
