True art nourishes us on so many levels!
The art of Yantra painting is an ancient practice of meditation through
art that enhances creativity, reduces stress and helps us appreciate the colors and forms of nature around us,
offering us a sense of harmony, balance and inner peace. To paint a yantra is a creative process!
Choose from a number of beautiful yantra designs including Bliss, Divine Mother, Radiance, Nourishment, Strength,
Communication, Expansion, Organization. You can even design your own Yantra! Trace your yantra design either
on your own yoga mat or or other large surface ( at least 22"x22"). Choose your colors and the practice unfolds! No previous art experience is required.
We will do a brief meditation before the painting begins and again at the end of the class.
Meditative music will accompany the practice.

As we move into December, the darkest time of the year is upon us.
This is the time when the moon is with us for more hours per day than other times of the year.
A perfect time to celebrate the energies of the Divine Mother and the Holy Child
of the Light Returning both inside us and around us in Nature!
In this workshop we'll use some exercises of the Earth Healer Marko Pogacnik, who visited with us last October
and begin to expand our perception of the Divine Feminine and the Holy Child, within and around us.
We will practice painting and drawing with these exercises, to enhance and express our experiences.
We will also watch the slides of Rudolf Steiner's Healing Madonna Treatment.
No experience in art is necessary to enjoy this workshop!
Here are some of the exercises we will explore together as a group and share our impressions artistically.
Exercise for connecting to Heaven and Earth within.
Breathing Exercise to Focus in the Heart.
Breath Exchange between the Goddess and yourself.
Exercise to experience the Holy Child within.
