Drawing Out Your Soul: A Touch Drawing Retreat

Drawing Out Your Soul: A Touch Drawing Retreat

Weekend of March 8-10

This workshop's start date has passed.

Workshop Details

Our hands are phenomenal living tools, capable of varied movement and expression. Imagine allowing your hands to dance in response to the feelings inside of you, to release blocks and open to a flow of inspiration. Now imagine that the movement of your fingertips takes form directly on paper so you can see imprints of your soul. This is the experience of Touch Drawing.
Touch Drawing is a simple, yet profound process. Roll paint onto a smooth board, place paper down and move your hands upon it. Impressions are created on the underside of the page. It feels like your soul is pouring through your hands, as a series of drawings emerges in a single session. When you reflect upon the completed drawings, you witness a visual record of your transformation. Deborah Koff-Chapin holds a safe and sacred place while you draw. She gently guides you with non-intrusive suggestions and her evocative live music (heartbeat drum, voice, singing bowls, chimes). Other creative art forms are woven through the days. Touch Drawing has countless applications as a therapeutic healing art form. No artistic skill is necessary!
