Pixels to Threads: A Chakra Meditation of Head, Heart & Hand
Everyone has an artist inside. The artist is our inner self, what we desire to communicate and express. Whether you work as a corporate executive, lawyer, medical professional, designer, public servant, entrepreneur, parent, student, making time to connect to your authentic self by accessing your innate creativity on a regular basis is vital to our health and well-being. When we try something new outside of our daily work, or when we create something original, we cultivate our ability to think outside the box, keeping us vibrant, open, optimistic, joyful.
I believe in living a creative life for the health and well-being of one's soul. May these classes, of Hand & Heart, spark your curiosity.
- Wanda Wen
Chakras are energy centers within our physical body that are said to affect our well-being - physical, emotional, sensory, instinctual, intuitive, and spiritual. Ancient yogis believe that keeping the chakras aligned, balanced and clear allows for enhanced mindfulness and overall health.
We will begin with a seated chakra meditation offered by Wanda, allowing the opportunity to connect to our internal landscape. This awareness will guide the creative self in the selection of a thread color palette to ignite a curative connection.
Maria will then guide you along your creative and healing journey as she shares her meditative artistry of combining needle + thread with imagery in the transformation of photography into 3-dimensional, tactile art pieces that tell a personal story through visual metaphor.
We will focus on using a simple running stitch, and explore various other stitches including alternating stitch directions and French knots, that will add unpredictable character, dimensionality and texture.
Prerequisite: Please send 2 - 3 images, color or black & white, to info@soolip.com by September 21. We will prepare these on 110 lb card stock and have them ready for you to create with on the day of the workshop.
Please Note: Workshop fees are non-refundable
