Elemental Expressions: Monthly Expressive Mark Making Workshops

As we move through the year we experience the seasons through nature, but also within ourselves. In Chinese Medicine there are emotions that fall within these season, including joy, loss, fear and hope. These monthly workshops will guide you through your emotional landscape inviting you to experience how you embody each one and how they may be expressed on the page.

Weaving together mark making with 5-element acupuncture theory and the embodied process of Focusing we will visualise, feel and express our way through the year, meeting Earth, Metal, Water, Wood and Fire along the way.
The hope is that you will join Hilary for all 12 sessions to fully explore and follow this emotional and seasonal journey throughout the year, but all sessions are also drop in and you may feel more called to explore some elements more than others
*Please note that if you need to cancel a booked session, your payment cannot be refunded unless we are able to fill your space, so please do give us plenty of notice.
