Are you ready to live a more peaceful, healthy, joyful life? It all starts with PLAY!
This workshop is about exploration and discovery; it focuses on the senses and kinetic pleasure of the activities rather than the final product. No painting skills are needed.
February is a cold month here in Ottawa; perfect for appreciating our friends and family with loving hugs. Louise loves hugs and loves hearts so she thought it would be perfect to share a morning with you, make art with heart, and give you a big fat hug if you want one [honestly ☺ she’s a great hugger!]. So come on down and get some whole-hearted fun going! Bring yourself and your smile; a friend if that pleases you too!
Practice playing, loosening up, and opening up your natural art process: leave your inner critic at the door and focus on artPlay. We’ll paint hearts to our content, on paper as well as ready made heart shaped dough ornaments to make as a gift for a loved one (or yourself!).
You will be guided through simple playful exercises that will allow you to:
-Open to expanding creativity
-Play while painting intuitively
-Recalibrate your nervous system to calm and self-love
-Learn about holistic healing effects of play
Important notes:
-All supplies are included
-Aprons will be provided. Play can get messy so bring comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting mucked up!
-Snacks and beverages will be served from the NFP bakery and cafe
-This workshop space is accessible only by stairs
