Exploring Touch Drawing for Healing and Deep Inner Connection
with Shemaya Blauer
​
Shemaya has used this process as a primary guide for many years and delights in sharing it with others. When there are no words to express our inner life, Touch Drawing becomes a doorway into a deeper sense of who we are and what is stirring inside.
The flyer for the current class beginning in January is here.
List of materials needed is here.
My dear friends and colleagues, Danette Gillespie-Otto and Marc Otto, offer unique IPNB-rich workshops for People of Color both here in Portland and in other cities as well. Their work addresses racism with the clarity and compassion born of personal experience and deep study of relational neuroscience. Marc also offers workshops regarding racism for white humans. You can find their work on their websites - Danette and Marc.
