- Do you feel best when you make art on a regular basis with like minded women?
- Do you long for an intimate community where you belong, feel safe to grow, and help others grow?
- Would it be freeing to express your joy and desire in color washes and let it expand? Or express your despair or frustration with an image, then watch it morph onto something completely new?
- Would it empower you to be part of the change that you seek for the world?
IF SO, LET’S TALK…
Why is it called “MIDDLE SISTERS CIRCLE”?
As women we are either mentoring others, or learning from others. No matter our birth order, we play the role of “middle sister” in the world.
I’m excited to offer an online women’s circle called Middle Sisters Circle where we make art that is important but not always pretty. We dedicate 16 weeks to sharing, taking personal risks, making art in our journals for insight and play, learning and growing with one another.
The women in your circle, and the journal that you build, layer by layer, are your companions on this journey. They help hold, witness and change your experience in the world; your joy, frustration, desire, despair and hope.
- Middle Sisters Circle provides a safe space to explore freely, through community art making and making your own art, so that isolation and loneliness subsides.
- This Circle invite you to let down your guard, be transparent and vulnerable. Your Circle can then help hold your images and story so that the fear of being seen for who you truly are, eases.
- Middle Sisters Circle provides a safe place to open your heart so that you can practice showing compassion and tenderness towards others, yourself, and your art.
- This Circle offers a safe container to take personal risks as you move towards images that feel either nurturing or disturbing. We begin practicing acceptance, curiosity and non-judgement toward the art we make and then, towards ourselves.
- Showing up for circle every week gives us a consistent community and accountability. Working in our visual journal becomes a priority, an art habit, a constant companion, a new relationship.
- Circles allow us to gather, make art, take risks, share, witness and be witnessed, so that we can build meaningful connections and know that we belong to an intimate sisterhood, no matter where we are in the world.
