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 awe.



Practices include:

  • Self-portrait through energy and sensation

  • Drawing in nature and from memory as a way to grow and explore your imagination

  • Shadow and polarity work

  • Still life as teacher of presence

  • Somatic meditations and art rituals to awaken the body and care for the creative force as it awakens

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

  • uncovering and bringing awareness to the artist’s wound



This is a space for slowing down. For reclaiming your own rhythms of expression. For remembering Soul and wholeness.
