A Healing Posy

Experience level: ALL

Imagine a bouquet of flowers made just for you. In it are the colors you love most, but more importantly, you will also find the flowers that carry specific messages to your spirit. Perhaps you are needing courage? Or maybe it is a sense of generosity your heart wants to cultivate.

The plant world has so much healing to offer us – so whether we are nursing a broken heart or learning to take new risks—there is a botanical whose elemental nature aligns with our needs.

In this mixed-media workshop, Cathy is going to help us dial in to the language of the plants. What are the messages they have for us? What is it we most need from them at this time?

Then, once we have gathered up all that we want in our healing posy—we are going to create it in two-dimension so that we can have it on display when we get home.

If you feel in any way nervous about entering a class focused on botanicals, let go of all fears! Cathy will share her favorite techniques for drawing flowers with ease and zero overwhelm.

You will remember how fun it is to mix drawing, painting and collage all together to create your unique bouquet that carries specific and heartfelt messages to you every time you look at it.
