Arts and Practices Workshop - Boulder

Join Michael for this in-person workshop about how 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.

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

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 as human resiliency involves a capacity to awaken and grow wiser precisely in the midst of a crisis. 

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.
