Live Online Workshop: "Arts and Practices"

As the world becomes more chaotic and life becomes more exhausting, creative and restorative practices become more important. Throughout the ages, meaningful practices have served as primary pathways for psychological and spiritual growth as well as for finding moments of wholeness and inner unity.

Through meaningful practices we can gain an inner refuge to continually return to as well as creative ways to express our true selves. The soul’s inner aim has always been to practice becoming who we already are at our core.

Traditional roads of practice typically appear as the inward path of meditation and deep reflection and the expressive path of creative arts such as music and dance, painting and writing. Both primary pathways can help us become more vital and resilient and be more able to “spring back” no matter what befalls us.

Whether through creative arts, contemplative practices or a combination of both, we need ways to keep renewing our spirit, opening our hearts and finding inner coherence. A heartfelt practice can help inspire, heal and transform our lives; it can also help us contribute to a world in need of healing and renewal.

This half-day online workshop with Michael Meade includes a morning and afternoon 2 hour session and weaves together story, mythic insight, exercises and in-depth Q&A periods.

DURING WORKSHOP YOU WILL LEARN:

• How a meaningful practice becomes an antidote to being overwhelmed by upheaval in the world.
• How beginner's mind keeps you from getting stuck in old patterns and from being discouraged by a troubling world.
• How a practice can open paths of creative expression as well as reveal your key aims in life.
• How specific practices relate to the nature of one's inner genius.
• How the archetype of creation becomes more available as life becomes more conflicted and confusing.
