An invitation to Taproot Winter Workshop 2021

Tapping the darkness- a winter’s journey
As the days begin to get long and the pandemic is making a turn for the better with vaccines on the way, the elections behind us, and voices of justice and calls for equality being heard around the world, we are slowly, slowly turning toward spring. Before we emerge, I want to invite artists and creatives of all sorts to join me for a nourishing and integrating Winter Workshop.

Join me for a rich exploration of the gifts of winter for your creative practice. So often winter can feel isolating, and this winter in particular has been magnified in this way. But there is a lot to be said for what the dark and quiet time can offer.

Winter is like the night of the annual cycle. It is a time of rest, integration, editing and redirecting, dreaming, internal growth, deep nourishment, and healing.

Bring your journals and we will do some visualization to invite our deep inner work to direct our attention. This will be a very safe container for personal exploration and reflection. The winter has already been doing its work, as we edge towards spring, this will be a wonderful way to find grounding, affirm your place in the world, get yourself aligned in your direction, set intentions and prepare for the year ahead. So much healing to be done and as artists and creatives, our voices are a balm to our cultures.

This will also be a great way meet other creatives who value the process of discovery that can happen in creative play.

This is not a promotional event, but I will mention my upcoming small group offerings and will be happy to talk to folks about it after the workshop is over. For those who are interested in the small group- I think of this workshop as a grounding for the year.
 
What you can expect to gain:

• Clearer sense of creative direction and purpose
• Renewed trust in the inner process of discovery
• A sense of ease as you enter your creative work
• A fuller understanding of the healing that you have already been doing
• A feeling of being met and seen by a community of creatives
• Greater compassion for yourself and others
• Increased creative energy
• A renewed sense of the value of your creative work in the world

This is for artists and creatives who:

• Work in any medium, form or material
• Have any cultural background- I specifically welcome as much diversity as possible
• have a desire to tap into their creative unconscious
• are  excited to play in the unknown and discover what is available
• believe in the possibility of personal and cultural healing through the arts
• have some depth of experience in their chosen form, even if you do not feel like you are expert
• want their work to matter both to themselves and to their audience
