Breathe your Freedom; Transform Trauma into Trust with Chetana Barkan

Unprocessed trauma is the primary cause of fight/flight/freeze patterns, somatic constrictions, repetitive thinking, perpetual anxiety, disconnection from spirit, self & others. 

Allowing yourself to acknowledge, explore & viscerally feel your trauma based wounds, strategies and behavioral reactions is the sacred key to transformation; encouraging their release, expression and integration is the journey of healing the heart !

We will skillfully combine:
*soft intentional breathing techniques as the bridge from the unconscious constrictions to the conscious feelings
*sounding for voice liberation
*felt sensation & body awareness exercises
*resourcing practices
*spontaneous & deliberate unwinding movements
*guided meditations

Brushing Away Stress: Synesthetic Watercolor with Joleen Vincent

Brushing Away Stress: Synesthetic Watercolor is a guided experience that explores the natural connection between sound, emotion, and visual expression. In this 60-minute class, participants are invited to listen to music or ambient sounds and translate what they hear and feel into color, line, shape, and movement using watercolor.

Rather than focusing on technical skill, the emphasis will be on sensory awareness, intuitive mark-making, and emotive flow. Participants will briefly reflect on how artists draw inspiration from sound and emotion, then create a personal artwork based on music that resonates with them in the moment. 

Guests are welcome to bring their own music. Please bring earbuds or headphones if you plan to use a personal playlist.

All materials are provided. No prior art experience is required. 

Suggested donation of $15 for materials. No one turned away for lack of funds.
