BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE
So many of us are juggling multiple responsibilities with little time to reflect upon or determine how we might align our lives more harmoniously with our values. The workshop provides an avenue for deciding on how to carefully tend the self-determined key areas of our lives and weed areas that pull away from our sense of harmony. Through your choice of either creativity or guided imagery, we will reflect, make realizations and form a plan of action toward a life of balance.

Facilitated by Barb Plunkett (using guided imagery/self-reflection) or by Teresa Thomas-Carroll (includes using creative materials).

"It really was an eye-opening experience for me, and helped me to visually put my priorities in order. Thanks again for providing such a worthwhile experience. It sounds like everyone in the room enjoyed the conference this year. Your session was unique from what we've had in the past. It was wonderful to see our participants laughing and interacting while discovering what work-life balance means for them." —Education Coordinator, major medical clinic

This session was so relaxing. In the visualization I made a new discovery about something that will help me to feel in balance and the best news is that it will be a simple, easy change!! —Sandra McNeal, banking consultant

"We have received consistently positive comments from our members regarding the workshop. People appreciated the opportunity to think about balance in their lives – the use of non-verbal means (art) was different and freeing for many. Another positive aspect was the opportunity for our members to connect in a low-pressure, nurturing environment." —Tom Cytron-Hysom, St. Paul Community Literacy Council (SPCLC)

EXPRESSIVE ART: TRANSFORMING EMOTIONS OF PHYSICAL PAIN
Your physical health impacts every aspect of your life, including your emotional well-being. In turn, your emotional health affects your physical health and vitality. The Expressive Art process provides a visual snap shot of what your pain is trying to communicate to you. It is an empowering way to translate this inner voice into a healthier way to relate to, live with and/or heal your pain.

In this transformative workshop, you’ll experience relaxing imagery that gently encourages you to hear your own inner voice. Your subsequent drawings will clarify your relationship with pain and what healing means for you. Gain a lasting and deeper awareness of how to use the mind-body connection to expand your healing process.

This session is appropriate for individuals living with stress-related health conditions such as chronic pain, heart conditions, migraines, depression, anxiety, cancer, as well as undiagnosed symptoms. Whether you are new or experienced with Expressive Art, you’ll explore the emotions tied to your physical limitations and what they tell you about what you need in your healing and growth.

“The benefits are still humming in my mind - conscious and subconscious. I continue to be amazed at the depth and intensity of the experience. I hope you feel great pride in your work; your gentle approach helped us all explore our vulnerability safely."

"This session has been life-changing. I now have a mini art studio in my home and regularly use what I've learned to express and explore my emotions." —Maureen Heinen, Professional Organizer, Send in Maureen
