“Intro to Color Study + Embodiment” DESCRIPTION:

Adapted from the “Guide to healing through creating for Black and Brown Folx” by Tiffany Wong

The last workshop series ended mid october 2020, and I thought I was going to take a quick break from facilitation. My healing process and art practice had other needs. So I gave myself permission to honor those needs, which wasn’t without resistance and guilt. I saw so clearly that I was at the crossroads of either pushing through to meet my own expectations of the future OR practice embodying that self trust I talk about all the time. The crossroad asked me if I’m invested in the short or long term. With support from my community, I felt it in my bones that this is the season to practice vulnerability and choose integrity without shortcuts.

I’ve been sitting with what I want to offer and how I can further the BIPOC liberation movement. My decision has been greatly informed by my extended pause from facilitation and embodiment of what I want to share. So here I am sharing with you an introductory 3 week series that will pave the way for a longer program starting in the spring!

Intro to Color Study and Embodiment is a space where you can meet yourself exactly as you are and deepen your connection with your worthiness through art. I’m going to provide structures where you can experience the healing you can provide yourself - because of the lineage and roots you embody. Each week we will focus on a color, where it will be a playground for you to discover your inner wisdom and medicine. There will be opportunities to share your experiences with BIPOC who are also committed to their decolonial healing as well as witness their embodiment of healing.

Something I prioritize is enabling your sovereignty in every step of the way. For example, if you want the experience to be more self reflective that doesn’t involve social expansion through sharing, I would encourage and honor that choice.

YOU CAN EXPECT A COMBINATION OF THESE ELEMENTS:

  • A centering talk about the focus of the week

  • Guided meditations

  • Journal prompts

  • Time of creating - painting/drawing/writing/moving.  This is not an art tutorial, but I will share how to approach creating art for the purpose of healing and being embodied.

  • Optional sharing time through video/chat box

  • Simple breath work

As to minimize pressure or performance, you will not be required to show the group what you are creating.

If you can’t make the live session, you will have access to the recording. The first meeting is mandatory - to cultivate trust among the group.

*Note: I am not a licensed (art) therapist. Although I believe that healers do not have to have institutional degrees to do healing work, this is not a space where I can provide you personalized guidance.  This practice isn’t designed to replace therapy of any kind. Please consult your personal therapist/psychiatrist/healer for mental, emotional, spiritual support.
