Creative Renewal: A New Year’s Virtual Retreat 2021
This is now a self-paced workshop, and links to recorded videos will be emailed after purchase.
As the old year ends and a new one dawns, perhaps you are in need of some authentic reflection and creative nourishment for your spirit. Whether you’re new to the process and practice of visual journals or you’re a seasoned practitioner, this weekend, online retreat feeds your soul in deep and connected ways.
Explore the power of words, images, and art materials as you look back at the year that was and set your intentions for the year to come. Embrace the deep knowing that comes from creating and reflecting, all from the comfort of your home creative space, as you engage in structured exploration of materials, ideas, and processes, as well as, sell-directed times of inquiry and contemplation.
Join a community of other creative souls for this unique experience as you deepen your artistic practice, learn more about yourself, and look forward to what the future holds.
This was originally a two-day, online retreat, but it is now a self-paced workshop with recorded videos. If you would like to have the feel of the retreat, start it at 9am, and follow along as if you were participating live!
This is a pay-what-you-can workshop, so please select what you would like to pay below. Once you pay, you will be emailed the links to the recorded videos. This will be a separate email from the order confirmation that you will receive immediately after purchase, and it may take several days to receive it.
Supplies Needed:
A visual journal or sketchbook - A mixed media journal is a good choice since it has paper designed to withstand a wide variety of paints, but use whatever works for you. It does not need to be a new book.
Paint - Watercolor and acrylic will both work. I’ll be using watercolor paint and watercolor pencil
Mark making items - It’s always great to create interesting marks and textures with paint. I love using plastic mesh, bubble wrap, cardboard, string, and even my fingers to play with how I apply paint.
Variety of paint brushes
Scissors
Glue Stick - I like UHU, but if you’re using acrylic paint, acrylic medium is suitable
Markers, pens, and pencils - a variety of waterproof and water-soluble writing and drawing materials; paint markers are great to use
Papers - I like having a variety of loose papers to use in my journaling, and I always have tracing paper, drawing paper, and colored papers on hand.
Collage materials - We’ll be using an assortment of items to glue into the journal, but try to find things that are personal. I love using movie tickets, mementos from travel, post cards, bottle labels, and other ephemera that I accumulate in day-to-day life.
