COURSE DESCRIPTION: These stand-alone classes may be taken every week or singly, except for the Altar Making class which extends to 2 weeks. See below for details on the class for each week.

The series of classes are a combination of learning and practicing meditative and creative techniques. All contribute to inner awareness and preparation for insights into life experiences. The focus will be on the process of creativity and self-discovery, not on any finished product. Consciousness and Creativity are common to us all, while each individual expresses it uniquely. You do not need to be an “artist“ or a "mystic" to attend!

Classes are $20 each pre-registered. Or $25 at the door. Pre-pay for 5 and receive any 6 classes for $100.
