CONCEPT:  Life-threatening illness amplifies the connection
between human suffering, resiliency and the process of
recovery. Illness and the resulting pain can open us to our
body’s capacity to feel itself more deeply. Art and yoga, when
combined, offer a way to enter the truth of this dialectic by
recognizing that there is opportunity within any crisis. The
art component will highlight how creative work can be an
answer to suffering. Various art projects will be selected that
foster community, creative will, and the capacity to hold multiple perspectives within the body and the art process. The
yoga practiced in this workshop will address the celebration
of life force accessed through the breath, guided meditation
and restorative practices.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES: We will use clay, a large-scale drawing
format, and diverse 2D materials and processes.
ACTIVITIES: There will be daily yoga practice combined with studio time. An integrative contemplative method of joining embodied experience with expressive art practices will be engaged.
PREREQUISITES: Adults ages 18 and up recovering
