If you are local to the Calgary area

Invite me to your home for a group Art Experience or invite me to your workplace for a Community Art experience.

Spirit Dolls with a Story can be facilitated as a group experience, as well as mindful drum circles, mandala-making, and other activities. All of the activities in the Discovery Room can be delivered as a group experience. There are lots of options to choose from. Contact me to discuss a custom workshop for your group.

Let’s Connect and Play

From a recent in-home gathering

We had such a lovely “spirit day “with you . My friends agreed that it was comfortable and easier to get to the essence of the spirit doll in familiar surroundings.

Your kind and gentle guidance provided a safe and playful space for our dolls to take shape and to share their story. Although the time flew by , we never felt rushed . Thank you for facilitating a day of friendship and deep connection.

Creative Consult & Collaboration

for group facilitators who want to bring Expressive Arts activities into their workshops or groups

for individuals looking to deepen their own creative practice

For group facilitators

Together, we will look at the Architecture of a Session and how to integrate some Expressive Arts with your existing group work, facilitation experience or personal art practice.

During these on-line sessions you can experience directly the intermodal use of different art modalities and create an art response. We can collaborate on sculpting workshops that enrich the learnings and outcomes for your participants.

For individuals

Learn to use Expressive Arts exercises to bring additional layers of self-discovery to your existing art or creative practice or begin a creative practice that is layered with personal meaning and the gradual unfolding of your deeper self.
