In this world, at this time, there’s so much shame and guilt attached to our bodies. What they look like, how they function. Often people try (and hate) yoga because they come to it from a place of shame. A place of “I need to get fitter” or “I need to lose weight” or “I am so inflexible!” or “I can’t do any of the poses like the teacher!”
The same is true of creativity. There’s so much shame and guilt attached to play, to making a mess, to trying something out just for the fun of it, to enjoying our time on this earth!
What if we were to try something different. What if we were to spend an afternoon in a place without shame, guilt, or judgment. A safe space designed to help us come home to our bodies - the only real home we have on this earth, which will be with us from birth to death. A place where we could feel into what our bodies want and need, without any controlling from our minds or from society? A time without purpose, without productivity or usefulness. Just BEING for a little while… just seeing how we feel in the moment and moving with that.
In this workshop, you will spend an afternoon with yoga teacher Charlene Putney and art therapist Daisy Somerwolff: flowing from movement to creativity and back again. Our yoga exercises, intentional touch, and embodied art explorations will all be dedicated to a gentle practice of coming home to our bodies.
We will breathe and practice yoga. We will light candles and drink tea and make art. We will come home.
Note that no experience with yoga or art is necessary! Just bring yourself, comfortable clothes, a candle, a big sheet of paper with pens/crayons/paints, and whatever other art supplies you’ll feel most comfortable working with.
We can take up to 20 sign-ups for the afternoon.
This workshop is pay-what-you-want and the payment link appears after sign-up. Suggested amount is €35, but please feel no pressure if you are not in a position to pay this or to pay anything - your presence is more than enough <3
