Mindfulness and Art: An Invitation Inward To Your Infinite Creative Potential with Allie Galiardo

NOTE: This course will be held in person. All students, staff and faculty must be fully vaccinated before they can enter the building. Please bring proof of vaccination with you.

This course is designed to reignite our creative flame by finding inspiration from deep within ourselves. We are taught to seek for inspiration from the external world, but I want to teach you the tools to seek within: exploring the boundless inspiration we always have access to, even if we've forgotten. We will integrate mindfulness practices like guided visual meditations, yoga nidra, yoga (all levels), and art practices to reconnect to the artist within. Each week we will explore a different theme to peel back layers of stagnancy in our creativity or process, and invite a fresh perspective into the art we create. Prerequisites: All levels. In this class, we will be sharing our experience with the group after our meditation practices and you will write, draw, paint (whatever you choose!) about our experience. All are welcome.

Supplies: Something to explore creativity with: notebook/markers/pen/watercolors...etc.
