Sunday Landing: Nov 22

Fear and Safety: 8:00am - 9:00am MST

This November, we're getting curious about what happens when we meet fear in the body.

Fear wears a lot of different outfits: anxiety, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, control, shutting down, etc. Underneath them, there's often a body holding stress and a mind feeding off that unresolved energy.

What I've discovered is that we don't necessarily have to convince the mind that everything is okay. We can learn to meet the physical experience of fear and discover what happens when we stop fighting it and start welcoming it.

Let's experience the energy of fear in the body with curiosity and acceptance so we can discover the wisdom underneath it.

"Bad Art": 9:00am - 9:45am MST

All you need is a sharpie or marker, a piece of paper and something to color with.

What's Bad Art?

 It's a creative practice that has absolutely nothing to do with making something beautiful.

• We begin by bringing to mind a stressful thought or situation and noticing what happens in the body.

• Then we let the energy of that moment move onto paper through scribbling, lines, and shapes.

• From there, we use a technique inspired by neurographic art, slowly rounding the intersections of our lines and adding color.

But here's where it gets interesting.

• What happens when your hand starts to tense because you're trying to get a curve just right?

• When your mind says, That looks terrible. You should fix it.

• When you notice yourself carefully choosing colors because you want the finished product to look good?

We get curious. We notice what happens in the body. 

Maybe we deliberately make it messier. Maybe we choose a color we don't like. Maybe we leave something unfinished. And we practice being present with the experience of getting something "wrong" without needing to correct it.

What if our movements were guided by presence rather than conditioning? The art isn't the point. Our relationship with ourselves while we're making it is.

Join us for one or both sessions!
