Announcing a new course: The Flowering Heart 🌸💗

Join me beginning on June 12 for an exploration of the wonder of flowers as a guide for connecting with the heart. We will be working within the medium of watercolor, as well as weaving words, music, movement and nature ritual to celebrate and devote to the floral realm and the temple of our heart. 

My name means honeybee in Greek, and for much of my life I have found myself drawn to the beauty of flowers like a little honeybee! The flowers are mirrors of beauty, blooming, and an indescribable perfection of nature. The months of June and July in the Northern Hemisphere are permeated with the magic of flowers, and this course seeks to connect with them as a guide for our artistic reflection and heart connection.

One of my favorite ways of tracking my life is by recording special moments, revelations, and art expressions in a journal. The Flowering Heart will utilize the journal as an anchor for our record keeping, and at the end of the course, participants will have a deeper relationship with the art of daily creative practice. This course calls us to invite the energies of beauty, blooming, and heart into our lives.

When we consciously bring anything into our awareness, that thing naturally becomes more present in our lives. Why not invite flowers and the awareness of our heart to be our guides and teachers for a few weeks and see what happens? Attuning to flowers inspires us to feel our own flowering essence in a deeper way, and tending to our heart is bound to be a healing and nurturing experience. 

We will be working with the flowers in ways that both celebrate their concrete form and their abstract, symbolic energy. We will be meditating upon their essence, and inviting them into our dream space. There will be opportunities to sit with them and receive their messages, and to explore the ways in which they are here to be of service to you, and you to them.

We will be exploring the flowers as a bridge between nature and our heart. During our class times, I will guide us through painting meditations and journeys to connect with the essence of our heart and the flowers. For the duration of the course, we will invite the tending to our heart space. We will listen and express from this place in creative ways onto the pages of our journal and beyond, through painting, writing, movement, and nature ritual. The day following each class, I will send an inspiration email with an abundance of suggestions for ways to integrate our creative practice.

If you feel a call to expand and deepen in relationship with your creativity, daily practice and your heart, the flowers can be a perfect guide! Also, this class will open up a deeper connection with your intuition and invoke new ways of listening to your inner voice and truth.
