Healing Drawings to do With Your Inner Child - Workshop!
Hi Reader,
Reparenting the younger parts of ourselves is powerful.
It clears the path for self-acceptance where before there was only shame. It opens up the door to feeling loved, and helps usher out the shadows of abandonment and loneliness.
Art journaling is a wonderful tool for doing this work. The pages of my journal have helped me learn to trust myself, reclaim my voice, and find a way out of co-dependency and self betrayal. For all of us, connecting with that young part of ourselves and allows us to give ourselves the loving care that we need.
And I'm happy to share a workshop I'll be doing this coming week on just that!
Drawn to Heal: Art Journaling with Your Inner Child
In this short workshop you'll learn how to start a drawing journal with your inner child. You'll come away from it with techniques and journal exercises that you can use to develop a healing journal practice of your own.
You'll learn:
- How to make your journal a safe and supportive place for growth
- Easy ways to draw Little You along with
- Prompts you can use to find out what your Inner Child needs
But even more importantly, we'll have a lot of fun! There's no drawing skills needed and no pressure to create or share. You'll get plenty of journaling tools you can use to work more deeply later and during the workshop we'll keep it playful and curious.
When: May 24, 2023 05:00 - 7:30PM Arizona
Where: Zoom - there will be a replay in case you can't make it live.
Cost: $12

Heartfully Artfully Yours,

Hey Reader, My summer started off with a major milestone, then a much needed break.Watching my oldest graduate high school and be celebrated by his friends, teachers and friends’ parents, was both vulnerable and wonderful. It really brought home to me that I’ve raised a kid who’s out in the world, connecting with others, building his own support systems. Wow. And right after that emotional weekend I headed out to Maine for a week-long Jiu Jitsu camp. Yup - summer camp for grown ups. That camp...
Hey Reader, Do you feel like you're 'enough'? You wouldn't be alone if you feel squirmy answering that. Many of us struggle with a feeling that deep down we're unworthy, undeserving or 'not enough' just as we are. Today I'm sending you an exercise I've done in my Draw Yourself Out workshops when we focus on the theme of being enough. This exercise is very helpful in gaining perspective. Grab a pen and paper and give it a try! You Are Enough Journal Exercise Where does your idea of 'enough'...
Hey Reader, I've got somewhat of an obsession with pens and notebooks. And with my journaling I've tried out a LOT of different supplies. So much of what feels good for journaling is highly personal, but I'm happy to share my favorites as a jumping off point for you to discover what you like best. I love my Copic Markers, for instance, but I also find them a bit messy, heh, and they bleed through nearly every paper, so I rarely use them in journaling. (FWIW, Crescent makes Rendr, a paper that...
