Dear members, if you could create any kind of art, what would it be? 🎨 What medium, style and subject?

Feeling into the year. 🌐 Use color, shape, line, magazine cutouts, words, phrases - anything goes! Art journaling helps us reduce worry and process our life experiences in a safe, comfortable way. It can help us reduce anxiety and self doubt because of the healing effect on the amygdala, which regulates emotions and creative thinking. Art journaling can be as playful or as serious as you'd like it to be. All you need is paper and simple supplies. Take a load off and lighten your heart. Unwind at the end the week or when you need some lighthearted self care. Use these prompts one at a time or all together to explore the depth of these concepts.

😃 My lovely members - how are you today? If you have a moment, I am curious how you feel about your relationship with your creativity? Not how good of an artist you are or anything like that, but more about your satisfaction and connection with your creative practice. When I say 'art', I mean all forms of making and creativity: cooking, decorating, envisioning a fun day for your kids; everything you do with your creative force. I've got some ideas for the group, but I'd like to know more about you first. I'm all ears! 👂🏼💬

What are your plans for the weekend. Post a GIF to sum it all up.

We are children of this earth. We are made to run free and immerse ourselves in the elements. To glide on the grace of water to feel the winds of change. We are perceptive instruments made for precision and dreaming. All of our senses, including our intuition, are our 'bio-machine'; the result of all the chemical reactions that we are. We are the makers of families, societies and countries. We use our heart parts to connect with the whole world. We are made to make art, to make music and to dance. Built into us are the tools to embody joy. We get frazzled in the minutia and lost in the big picture. We must come home. It's right here in our bodies. It's right here in our hearts. Reach for your colors. Reach for your rhythm. Go within. And when you are ready to share, I hope you do so in full force, in full color, in full authenticity of the wonderful and perfectly imperfect you. May your art give you grace and comfort. May your art give you peace. May it set you back into a state of unshakable ease. May it look back at you and remind you of the light you are in this world. May you return to this act of true nature, in whatever form it takes. So the muses can finally let loose. If you have an arts practice, what is it like? Do you like to cook or invent recipes? Decorate your interior or exterior? Or do you do arts like drawing, painting or crafts? How does it make you feel when you're being creative? Is there an after effect?
