Learning Focusing to Help Free the Artist in You  |
|
| |
Karen Wallace
Focusing is “direct access to bodily knowing.” It is a practice that takes a person towards a state of conscious perception that goes far beyond knowing something on a mere conceptual level. Focusing helps you learn how to be Present and listen to yourself so that you can move ahead in your life in an empowered and safe way. Focusing brings you closer to wholeness and allows you to access your inner wisdom. This helps you move in the direction of your potential. It can help you move beyond artist's block, time and money issues you may have around your art and help you get in touch with your goals. SPECIAL NOTE: This program begins the evening of Friday, September 10 from 6:30 to 9:30 PM, and continues on Saturday and Sunday between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM. Learn more. |
