Introspective Art

Offering During Retreats

This is the practice of turning inwards. You are being drawn to concentrate solely on your thoughts, emotions, and feelings. In this time, you are being asked to take an hour or two to step back and think. Reflect on how you are doing emotionally, and with prompting, create.

No one knows how you are feeling, or what you are creating. With Introspective art, the medium becomes your voice and you are much better at creating than you may believe. We can get swept up into what others are thinking or will view our creation. That is NOT the priority. We are consciously stepping back from the world to allow our thoughts, visions and dreams come to life.

With the proper materials and a blank canvas, you can create whatever it is that you dream of being, creating and expressing. This is a time to be self-aware and pause. With the gentle music playing in the background, and medium in your hands, your are invited to be the observer of your creative expression. You are encouraged to observe yourself, your emotions and maybe the future as well.
