Somatic art exploration with Jenny on August 22nd

Somatic art exploration Scholarships are available for this workshop. August 22 | 1-5pm Join creative facilitator Jenny Siegel for an afternoon of intuitive art-making. Participants will gather together in a relaxed, supportive space. We’ll begin with a short series of simple, beginning somatic awareness/movement practices to land in our bodies and cultivate a felt-sense of spaciousness. These accessible practices are done seated and standing, and can be adapted to your needs and are gentle in nature.  Then we’ll explore intuitive art-making, using color, mark-making, watercolor and other mixed media, carrying a creative thread from the somatic movement practice. We will explore the practice of allowing; following what feels pleasurable, curious, or alive for us in the moment. A creative flow can emerge that is playful, unexpected, and freeing.  All art materials, guidance, space to play, and snacks/tea are provided. No experience necessary—just bring curiosity and wear comfortable clothes that you can move and create in. Bring your water bottle, and a pillow or folded blanket for your chair (optional).  About Jenny Jenny Siegel is a mixed media artist and facilitator based in Portland, Oregon, and is a part time resident of Neahkahnie Beach. Her creative practice is inspired by forms found in nature, allowing curiosity and spaciousness to inform her process. Jenny’s background in art/design and healing work drew her to creative and somatic practices. Somatic Art rose out of her own experiences in the studio. Jenny then began sharing intuitive art-making + somatic practice with groups.
