You will discover how to relax self-judgment and make contact with your authentic expression and the beauty that is unique to what you make. The workshop will focus on how to construct creative and safe spaces that help you trust the process, let go, and access your natural ways of expression that will carry you to the place you need to be but can never know in advance. The primary emphasis of the weekend will be on authentic movement, spiritual writing, artwork, and ecstatic voice, with ongoing connections being made to dreamwork and the process of total expression.
