The Wheels of Life an exploration into Kundalini Yoga and Mandala Making

 YogART Practice  

The synthesis of Yoga and Art is very powerfull practice. Through Yoga ones becomes grounded in ones body and the internal mind chatter diminishes.  As one approaches the Transformative Art Making, one embodies that state of being through its manifestation of ones own art.  Countless times we have seen people shift from feeling of restlessness and leave theYogART experience with deep and fullfilled sense of meaning. The Art that is made becomes a marker and talisman of their experience.

This is an amazing and alchemic seven week workshop that explores the unity between Yoga, Art Making and Transformation

.

 Each class will be dedicated to the exploration of your internal energy map, the Chakra System. The concept of chakra originates in Hindu texts its name derives from the Sanskrti word for “wheel” or “turning.’  This workshop series is an intra personal journey as you explore and ascend through your own seven Chakra’s, throughout the process of Yoga and Art. Our small Transformative (Expressive) Yoga/Art Circles are for all levels of experience and very intimate, there is a maximum of six participants. This allows for individual attention. dialogue and process. Participants in our workshops series are encouraged and guided to discover the power of their own creativity and the value of what that can teach them. The ultimate intention of our Transformative Workshop Series is to teach and reveal that art is a gift that in latent in everyone (all) and that it has the ability to transform our lives as well as has the potential to transform 
the world that we live in.

Each week Jodi Fuchs will facilitate the Kundalini Yoga Process for 45 minutes and then Transformative Art Instructors Ceylan and Lisa (Art 4 All People) will facilitate the intuitive process of you creating your own Mandala for 45 minutes. For Art Making you have an abundance of supplies to choose from paint, pastels, markers, and pencils etc. The class will close with a 15 minute group dialogue about your process and discovery.  Each class you will take your Art work home and are encouraged to do simple exercises throughout the week to deepen your experience.

“Working with dreams" means remembering and exploring the dreams from sleep with an eye to their deeper meanings. Each one of us is uniquely blind to the deeper meanings of our own dreams, and dream work helps us see what amazing gifts are there, just below the surface of "manifest content" and obvious appearance.” 
Jeremy Taylor

Art 4 All People’s Dream Art Workshop is an exploration of how your dreams are connected to your creative process. Each week we will work two dreams from the group and then create art around it  Also,  we encourage you within the six weeks you to create your own painting from one of your powerful dreams.

The personal AHA's elicited during Dream Art and Work gives one a deep understanding and access to the unknown territories within ones Self.  As a tool for well being it gives you the ability to see all of life via metaphor and mythology.

About
An Exhibition of Art that is created as Ritual, Interpersonal Transformation, and or Gateways of Consciousness. 

There is a somewhat hidden legacy of the great artists throughout history that have explored the transcendent through their art. The Spiritual in Abstract Painting from 1890-1985 offers a series of exposés illuminating the explorations by artists such as William Blake, Malchevich, and Mark Rothko into the mysterious realms of metaphysics and beyond. They all illuminate the potential of the universe and its symbiotic relationship with human nature. The new sciences are also revealing the mysteries of what the ancients knew through holistic systems and Quantum theory. Jung offers springs of hope to my ideal of being a visionary artist. “We see that [the visionary artist] has drawn upon the healing and redeeming forces of the collective psyche that underlies consciousness with its isolation and its painful errors: that she/he penetrated to that matrix of life in which all men/women are embedded, which imparts a common rhythm of human existence, and allows the individual to communicate his feeling and his striving to mankind as whole.” (Jung). This exhibition explores contemporary artists, who see their ART as objects of power. For millennia, indigenous traditions, humans have used objects in creative ways to gain wisdom, heal sickness, avert suffering, and navigate life.

 Curators: Award winning Transformative Artist and Educator Lisa Rasmussen M.F.A. and Transformative Artist, Ceylan Fadiloglu, M.A.
