This sounds powerful and beautiful! I've kept a dream journal for a long time now and just last night thought that I really need to draw what I saw in addition to writing about it. Touch Drawing seems the perfect vehicle for it!

Thank you, Kathleen. Yes, she's acrylic. This was an image that came to me in one of my groups with the students and I decided to work the quick original pencil drawing (created in 20 minutes in the group) into a painting this weekend. We were wor...

Thank you, Donna. I've been waiting for inspiration to find a way to mount and embellish them but so far I am feeling a bit stuck...

Here is something I found regarding this New Moon: "The two luminaries (Sun, Moon) are in Libra at this New Moon. That brings a rush of fresh air to clear our minds. It gives us special Libra equilibrium goggles, that show us how we're doing in re...

Dear Tanya,
Thank you so much for looking at my drawings. That series was an experiment! I attached the tissue paper from several TD sessions to canvas, let them dry overnight and then just brushed over them with water colors. A few of them I added a little glitter-- just because I never use glitter. I am having fun. It feels as though the fun is stirring up the creative juices.

Tanya, We might get the newlsetter out later today or tonight, so if you's like a super up-to-date little note or something simple when people start clicking through, it would be great to dome something today. But you have recent pictures, so that is great.

Profile Information

My interest is in
Touch Drawing Personal Use, SoulCards Personal Use, Facilitating Touch Drawing
What brings you to an interest in Touch Drawing or SoulCards?
I was first introduced to it by my best friend Tamara Knapp a few years ago, and this past May I had the pleasure of attending Deborah's workshop during the IEATA conference in NC. So far I have mainly used touchdrawing as a part of my own process, and I look forward to both deepening my own work as well as facilitating the process for others.
My experience applies to:
Therapy, Art, Creativity, Social Work, Spiritual, Intuitive, Teens, Health, Meditation, Family, Expressive Arts, Organizational
Other areas of interest & experience
Hypnotherapy and age regression work, energy healing, eastern spiritual practices.

My desire is to use heart-centered hypnotherapy and expressive arts modalities to deepen one process with the other. My hope is, one day, to practice in a setting where like-minded healers and practitioners share a space and these different modalities are used to help facilitate the healing and growth of others.
Have you done Touch Drawing?
Yes
Have you facilitated Touch Drawing?
Yes
In what setting have you facilitated?
I had the opportunity to help facilitate a workshop (in an on-going series) for Parkinsonians. It was a wonderful experience giving me as much, if not more, as it did to the participants.
Share a special experience with Touch Drawing or SoulCards.
A little over a year ago, I did some touch drawings with my then two and a half year old goddaughter. She dove into the process as if she had always been doing it (I allowed her to do each step of the process instead of preparing the surface or tissue for her), and I have no idea how long she would have gone on had I not eventually encouraged us to wrap it up. She then proceeded to tell me which ones were for her mother, her father, and her grandmother. I later mounted those pieces for them. I plan to use some of her other pieces to do a collaborative piece with my husband - and maybe one day we can give her a piece worked on by all three of us as a gift.
Do you facilitate SoulCards with others?
No

Finding Time to Reconnect

It always makes me feel so sad, and eventually angry, that I don't keep up with my creative process when I most need it. In that sense, it is no different than my exercise routine, meditation practice, attempts at eating healthy, or any other self caring thing I (attempt to) do. I make sporadic progress, then I get impatient and stop because I get distracted by life or I convince myself that it "isn't working". I just want to skip past the painful parts and get right to the reward. "Discipline"… Continue
