Inner Field Trip®: Collage with Lelania Avila and Jeanne Seronde Perkins
Sunday, Feb. 23, 9 AM - 12 PM in the Dance and Kaleidoscope Studios
Each month participate in a Guided Adventure that includes meditation, reflection, art, movement and sound current healing: Inner Field Trip®. This is a longer version of the weekly Relax, Reflect, Recharge class, focused on our monthly theme. (Attendance at the weekly Relax, Reflect, Recharge class is not required.)
During this three-hour session you will be guided through an experience of art, meditation and movement, with an emphasis on collage. The monthly theme is "Embrace the Gifts of Slowing Down," working with the energies of sadness and depression to rest, listen, let go and find optimism. You will be encouraged to be gentle and compassionate as you combine the visual elements of images, printed material, and even found objects to create a mesmerizing collage. Together, we will move through sadness and find joy.
Class starts in the Dance Studio for meditation and movement, then proceeds to the Kaleidoscope Studio for collage. We return to the dance studio where we complete the workshop with sound current healing.

"My work is a dance with the unexpected. It feels at times like a tightrope of joy and resistance. I do a lot of experimenting. The aim is to pare down to what is essential. jeanneserondeperkins.com
