You definitely want to join Erica Morton Magill for her session this Sunday 22nd at the Art2BeHuman Day.. joining us from California, Erica will get us moving.

❤️A bit about the session...

Corporeal Creativity
Combining gentle movement with writing or crafting (you choose your own adventure), we’ll explore our bodies as tools for both solace and creative expression. We encourage you to bring a journal and either something to write, paint, draw, or collage with.

❤️ A bit about Erica...

Erica is a recovering yoga studio owner currently working toward her Master's degree in London. Her passion lies at the intersection of ritual, faith and the creative process. She believes in the value of pen and paper and leaves trails of napkin notes in her wake. Movement is her medicine. She thinks walnuts are an underrated snack and carries them with her always.

We're delighted to have Paola Scandurra amongst our facilitators this coming Sunday for Art2BeHuman Day 2022.

❤️A bit about the session...

Shaking Fears & Beliefs
Take a good measure of our hard-wired 'fear' response, add a firm belief that we 'can't change' and we get a familiar cocktail, but can we mix and blend a different cocktail by pacing our sense of self?

❤️A bit about Paola...

It's a challenge to summarise in a few words the wealth of expertise and wisdom Paola brings to her session. As an educator and coach Paola’s passion for learning and development has propelled her through various training roles and change initiatives in hospitality; as a life student and therapist there is a personal understanding of how each of us does our own emotional and mental wellbeing, how we disconnect or strengthen it and the impact in the boardroom and home life.
We're in safe hands everybody! 😉

You don't want to miss Louise's session "Exploring Your Inner Artist" this coming Sunday 22nd at the Art2BeHuman Day.

❤️A bit about the session...

Exploring Your Inner Artist

This fun session will give you the opportunity to explore your own creativity through mark making and visual art activities and point you to further resources to continue this exciting and rewarding practice.

We encourage you to bring paper, a journal or surfaces of your choice to work on as well as something to write, paint, draw or collage with. Please include colours if you would like to!

❤️ A bit about Louise...

A Visual artist, communicator and creativity disciple. Louise loves connecting others with our own unique ability to be creative and express ourselves visually.

Everyone is creative and everyone can draw (as almost any child will show you). In early childhood visual communication develops alongside language-based communication and can allow us to tap into different parts of our experience and self expression. But sometimes as adults we forget the joy and pleasure we get from creating images or even the confidence to make them.

Register for this workshop on the link on bio. A fun activity to share with others!

❤️A bit about David...(his own words)

"I was a management consultant for a long while until I realized I wanted to enjoy life differently, and so for the last several years I’ve been following my passions of life coaching, shamanism, and music.
Why do I love singing and music so much? They’ve been a huge part of my personal journey and transformation. With the voice we can literally shift our vibration, connect to Source and our own deepest inner truths, and speak & sing our dreams & prayers into being. I’m excited to share!"

How much do you know about the meaning of colours?

Tangerine/orange is creative and full of energy. It has the warmth of red and the optimism of yellow and it communicates activity, energy and encourages socialisation.

Teal/Turquoise/Aqua represents the calming properties of blue with the renewal qualities of green. A revitalising and rejuvenating colour that also represents open communication and clarity of thought.

We love our colours and it’s exciting finding little things that remind us we are on the right path.

What’s your favourite colour?

Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?

Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself?

What are you learning these days?

Learning is a process and like any process, it’s most effective when we’re able to give it our time, energy and focused attention.

As human beings we’re constantly learning and evolving through experiencing life.

However, becoming more aware and conscious about what initiates the learning process for each one of us is a great internal resource to tap into.

1. Recall a few learning experiences you’ve had in life.

2. Reflect and contemplate on your answers to these questions:

✨INSPIRATION

What inspires you to learn?
Who inspires you to learn?

✨INTENTION

What’s your intention when wanting to learn about something or someone new?

✨INITIATION

What makes you start?

✨INSIGHT

How do you gain insight?
Who helps you gain insight?

We hope the four “i” model is a useful tool on you learning journey. We’ll keep referring back to it for sure!

What’s your morning routine?

There’s quite a bit of advice out there about how you should start your day.

Instead of looking for the answer in others, take a moment to ask yourself a few questions:

✨How do you want to feel in the morning?

✨What’s your own way to connect to that feeling?

✨What do you need from your environment to make that happen?

✨What’s the first step you can take?

Try those to start with and see what answers you come up with.

We don’t need more answers, just the right questions ❤️
