Lotus Rising Registration Open!

Lotus Rising Art Workshop!

Sunday, April 23rd

4-7 p.m.

Chantilly, VA

Awaken with me this April with a repeat of one of my favorite art workshops—Lotus Rising!  Even if you have created a lotus with me before, come see what new blossom emerges.  We will create unique, beautiful lotus blossoms as we rise out of the mud and darkness and into the light, awakening our creative spirit!  We will begin the workshop with a short guided meditation to get our creativity flowing.  No art experience necessary.  Cost for the workshop is $45 and includes all instructions and supplies.  Feel free to bring a drink or snack to share.  To register, click the button below.  Hope to see you soon!

Rise!

Here is painting 2/50 in my "50 to 50" Challenge!  I have always admired the beauty, strength and symbolism of the lotus flower.  This new painting was inspired by the lotus and her ability to rise and shine despite her obstacles.  She is able to lift herself up from beneath the murky waters and grow towards the light, rising strong and opening herself up to the world above.

"Rise"

Here is a little poem I wrote several years ago for our first retreat participants that went along with the lotus lesson and art project I prepared and taught at the "living your yoga on and off the mat" retreat. Hope you enjoy!

Breathe deeply...

Begin the transformation...

Rise above the dark waters...

Blossom towards the light...

Reach your full potential...

Awaken your spirit...
