Art Insight Workshop

Presenter: Sandy Fabrin

“Humans are complex, creative beings, and when we create something that expresses our own complexity, we arrive at … clarity through our own creative inner process…” Julia Cameron

Creative workshops at Insight International have been designed to utilise a mindfully creative process, using a variety of art techniques, to foster deep personal insights and to bring clarity. Rather than thinking about an issue, participants will be encouraged to give creative expression to this. Creative methods encourage integration between the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

Participants will be encouraged to view the expression of their inner-landscape from the perspective of:

• Awareness
• Compassion
• Acceptance of ‘what is’
• Non-judgement
• A positive and encouraging self-concept

Who should attend: Those interested in expanding their perspective and exploring mindfulness, using creative processes. (No previous art experience is necessary; only a willingness to explore creatively).

What you can expect: A supportive, respectful and encouraging environment, facilitated by experienced facilitators and includes:

• A short overview of mindful expression using creativity
• A large amount of creative expressive time
• Fun
• Reflection exercises
• Art supplies and classroom notes provided
• We offer a supportive, encouraging and safe learning environment, where you can interact with like-minded people.
