Discover a way to express how you feel with honesty, tenderness and compassion
ELEMENTAL EXPRESSIONS!
MONTHLY EXPRESSIVE ART WORKSHOPS!!As we move through the year we experience the seasons through nature and also within ourselves. In Chinese Medicine there are emotions that fall within these seasons including joy, loss, fear and hope. These monthly workshops will guide you through this emotional landscape inviting you to experience how you embody each one and how they may be expressed on the page.
NO ART EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! These workshops are held at THE ART ROOM in Redruth, click below for more info and to book Artist Workshops Archives - The Art Room Redruth |
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.

This course takes you on a journey into your inner world to awaken your heart and connect with your deep wisdom.Using a wide variety of art materials you will explore thoughts, feelings and issues sensed in the body and expressed on the page. You will learn to really listen to yourself, with curiosity and compassion, and to be playful in allowing parts of you to be seen, heard and expressed visually. The work invites marks, images and symbols to arise that will bring clarity to your lived experience and enable you to have deep compassion, understanding and acceptance for what you feel and for who you are.
Giving the body another language to express itself brings you into contact with yourself in a new way. Energy that was stuck can begin to move and the process can be deep and powerful, joyful and expansive, revealing and transformative. |
When we let go of the need to make beautiful images the body is free to really show us how it feels....the results are often surprising!This course is not about producing works of art and you do not have to consider yourself creative to take part. I will teach you skills and lead you every step of the way as you explore your emotional world and express, release and celebrate what you find there.
I am passionate about the healing power of creativity and it’s ability to unleash and transform energy. The process is richer and more powerful than the final result and we do not analyse what you produce. There is no right or wrong, this is simply an invitation to let go of the narratives you hold in your head and to work from the heart to find greater truth and clarity. |
'Your physically felt body is, in fact, part of a gigantic system of here and other places, now and other times, you and other people, in fact the whole universe. This sense of being bodily alive in a vast system is the body as it is felt from inside'
Eugene Gendlin, The Founder of Focusing as a practice
Sometimes it's easier to hear from people who have experienced it....
"I was so surprised how using some very simple techniques took me so deep in each session. I loved the fact that I could experience something very personal and insightful whilst being part of a group. Hilary is a very special practitioner who brings compassion, integrity and insight to sessions."

When I do this work I just feel lighter, stronger and more expansive than before. I feel like I understand myself better and have more compassion for all the things that usually feel so hard and painful to live with. It's like my body has a voice that I never knew about!

I have never felt very comfortable with talking about my issues but the process of mark making gave me a way to access feelings that I had always blocked previously. It was a genuinely moving, safe, and revealing experience for me, I can already feel the benefit in my life from the course. Thank you Hilary!

I experienced some really profound emotional and psychological shifts during the course. There is something very powerful in the combination of going inwards to fully pay attention to feelings and emotions in the body, and then expressing those things visually. Somehow it helps things to start actually moving through the body so that they can become unstuck.

I realised for the first time ever that I truly engaged with my body, listened and heard what it is experiencing. It enabled me to tune into the pain it is feeling at this moment. During the process of expressing this on paper it totally eased the pain which was an amazing and enlightening experience. I have found this profoundly helpful. I would highly recommend Hilary and the amazing work she does.
