Discuss issues that relate to workshop facilitation - music, holding space, pricing, group dynamics. Ask questions, share what is working, and anounce a workshop report that you have put on your own blog.

Profile Information

My interest is in
Touch Drawing Personal Use, Facilitating Touch Drawing, Facilitating SoulCards
What brings you to an interest in Touch Drawing or SoulCards?
Touch Drawing came to me on my last day in art school in 1974. It was an ecstatic, revelatory and playful experience. At the same time, I had a deep knowing that this process was an emergent art form that would meet the needs of the human soul in times to come. I have been spreading the seeds of Touch Drawing ever since.
My experience applies to:
Therapy, Art, Creativity, Education, Social Work, Spiritual, Intuitive, Children, Teens, Aging, Health, Abuse, Childbirth, Hospice, Grief, Parkinsons, Occupational Therapy, Hospital, Meditation, Family, Cancer, Expressive Arts, Creative Art Therapy, Organizational

Hey Deborah!
The blog you have visited is my personal blog with work I've created, mostly photographs and poems. Those video's are from festivals I've visited...So nope, it's not me.. but I do like the music a lot! :) (Maybe I should change the blogs' language, so international visitors can understand what's all about lol)
My real name is Lindsay Vanhove, I was at the last PDC conference.. that's how I've got the link to the community. :)
Thanks for sharing the info about the workshop! I live in Belgium so it's not that far... I'll think about it!. ;)

Much greetings,
Lindsay

Thanks Deborah! I'm VERY excited to get into Touch Drawing and I agree it is just perfect for what I do. I've been working on more of an information basis with people for the past 3-4 years and I recently started up the Inner Wisdom & Creativity site because I'm drawn to get hands-on now. I feel people need the hands-on tools and guidance. I'm definitely going to be getting some of your books and other resources! Would love to attend a workshop in person with you one day...putting a trip to the US on my vision board! LOL

Deborah or others, have any of you used Touch Drawing as a restorative justice practice?

Hi Deborah! Sure, I'd be happy to write up my "how -to" re: how I use the SoulCards. Please be patient though....it may take me a week or so to get to this... life is very FULL here these days...

Thanks, Deborah -
Everything seems to have a "timing" to it and I have be recently inspired to move forward into another phase of my art/life/path. Touch Drawing is helping me with that transition - also listening to a recommended music/chakra cd in the process - David Ison's Harmonizer.

I am so grateful for your work and your generosity in sharing it.

Touch Drawing Paper.doc



Hello, Hello, Hello!!

I don't know if you remember me but I was a student in your 2009 CIIS class and I had yet to finish my touch drawing paper. Well here it is! The finial document of my academic life. I hope you enjoy. I will also be sending this paper to Jack Weller and I assume he will be the liason for the change of status paper work I have to do now. Thank you so much for offering the class and I hope to participate in another workshop soon.

Warm Regards,
Khara Scott-Bey

Hi Deborah, I'm new here. Will you be having workshops in the near future? Or, do you know of anyone in the NY area who is leading a workshop or would like to get together and do TD? I tried looking for upcoming dates/workshops/& members in the NY area but couldn't find any. Thank you.
