Press Release Summary = Art As Ritual Creativity Workshops teach us to unleash creative influences and potentials through a variety of rituals. Rituals are the underlying structures that define how we function and think. By replacing negative or unconscious rituals with ones that are designed to tap into our creative forces, we begin to manifest a life that is centered on creativity and productivity. The rituals and processes used in this workshop also examine the origins of our critical judgment and work to transform paralyzing behavior into the joyous act of creation. No previous art experience is necessary.

Press Release Body = Art as Ritual Creativity Workshop utilizes the three main tools from Julia Cameron’s book the Artists Way, A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity with a curriculum and series of exercises that are based on her three principles of
Morning pages, Artists Dates and Daily Meditative Walking in conjunction with my own experiences of living and working as an artist in New York in many complimentary creative fields, (photography, film production, painting, and sculpting). Art as Ritual is rigorously experiential; a twelve week series of three hour evening classes once a week for adults who feel creatively blocked or frustrated. My intimate and dynamically interactive groups are dedicated to nurturing and releasing creative potential. Utilizing innovative tools in a safe and stimulating
environment, the workshop consists of art making, (drawing, painting, clay, plaster, collage), in class and at home writing, supportive critiques, healing rituals, story telling, creative visualization, movement and sound techniques, and visiting guest artists from the visual and performing arts. This exploratory personal journey provides the tools and the support to help
excavate innate potential for a more authentically creative life. This is not an art class; it is an examination of the art of process and how to be in the creative moment without criticism or judgment.
We learn to relocate, re-parent and reeducate our inner creative child, which sets us free to enjoy a more self-expressive and happier way of living and working. We are training our inner guide to find the answers we already have. We will be working with the light and shadow within all of us. We will befriend our
inner critic and through this process, entertain new possibilities, court the invisible, and learn how to maintain balance to make the seemingly impossible
possible.
