ESSENTIAL DRAWING

Each module weaves together guided meditation, intuitive movement, personal storytelling, and creative exploration. You’ll draw from life and from memory, work with shadow and transformation, and attune to the quiet presence of flowers, landscapes, and your own inner gaze.

Whether you are new to drawing or returning after time away, this course invites you into a deeper kind of seeing—where line, color, and gesture become languages of truth, feeling, and wonder.

Practices include:

• Self-portrait through energy and sensation

• Drawing in nature and from memory

• Shadow work through collage and transformation

• Flower as teacher of impermanence and presence

• Somatic meditations and art rituals to awaken the body

• Simple, soulful materials: pencil, charcoal, watercolor, scissors, glue

• 
  
  

This is a space for slowing down. For reclaiming your own rhythms of expression. For remembering the joy of creation without judgment.

Essential Drawing invites you to explore creativity through the lens of meditation and inner awareness. Designed with sensitivity and sustainability in mind, this course supports individuals and creatives in navigating the emotional and energetic depths that can arise in the creative process. You’ll be guided to work gently with your energy, with practices that help you recognize when to engage, when to rest, and how to stay rooted in your own rhythm. This is a space to create not from urgency, but from a grounded, embodied flow that nourishes both your art and your well-being.

9 Weekly Live Sessions

To deepen your journey through each module, this course includes weekly live sessions. These gatherings offer a space for reflection, creative exploration, and direct support. Each session is uniquely themed to align with the current module and may include guided practices, Q&A, community sharing, or live demonstrations.

Sessions will be held on Thursdays 9pm CET via Zoom, and replays will be available for those who can’t attend live.

Personalized Support

Each participant will receive the possibility for two personalized voice note interactions from me during the course. You’re welcome to send me a question, reflection, or share a part of your process—and I’ll respond with a voice note to support your unfolding journey. These voice notes are a bridge for us to connect more personally, bringing nuance and care into the container.

Q & A

Do I need to be “good at art” to join this course?
Not at all. This course is about process, not perfection. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to explore.

What materials will I need?
A simple kit of pencils, charcoal, watercolor paints, scissors, glue, and paper is enough. A full list of suggested materials will be sent upon registration.

How much time should I set aside each week?
Each module can be explored in 1–2 hours per week, though you may find yourself returning to practices again and again.

Is this course live or self-paced?
Both. We will start with 9 live weekly gatherings upon launching in July, the gatherings will be recorded and avalable until the end of 2025.

Is this part of The Well’s Weaving or separate?
Drawing Into Presence is woven from the same threads as The Well’s Weaving. If you’re part of the Magnolia Library, you’ll find familiar elements—somatic presence, sacred creativity, seasonal rhythm—but this course offers a deeper, more focused journey into visual art as spiritual practice.
