Julie Ann Lien replied to Angela Raincatcher's discussion 'Full Moon February 2009' in the group Touch Drawing with the MoonsFebruary 11

Hi Angela~ Glad to see your moon drawings (and I looked to see if any of them were signed with a kitten foot print!) I was able to make time to TD during the full moon and my session was not very long but really intense. I have tried to upload th...

Hi~ Sharing a drawing I created today with the energy of this months full moon (2-9-09). The words wanted to be part of the drawing...heal, meditate, vent, change, inspire, simplify, trust, smile, empower, grow, play, dance, embrace, let go, recha...

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?: Touch Drawing was a profound tool that helped me through a health crisis. The process taught me that imagery is the body-minds inner language. It was a way to give voice or expression to my experience that went way deeper than words. I was able to connect for the first time to my deepest feelings and emotions around life and death.

My experience applies to:: Therapy, Art, Creativity, Education, Spiritual, Intuitive, Children, Teens, Aging, Health, Hospice, Grief, Hospital, Meditation, Family, Cancer, Expressive Arts, Creative Art Therapy

Other areas of interest & experience: I am a president and manager of a land holding corporation that has 24 stockholders. I am a mother, grandmother, welder, teacher, atrist, and master gardener.

Have you done Touch Drawing?: Yes

Have you facilitated Touch Drawing?: Yes

In what setting have you facilitated?: I have facilitated the Touch Drawing process to a variety of groups...
adults and children....also many one on one sessions.

I attended the Annual Touch Drawing Gathering on Whidbey Island, Washington: 2007, 2001, 2000

Share a special experience with Touch Drawing or SoulCards.: Every experience with Touch Drawing and Soul Cards is special!!! I did a class for a group of 4-5 year olds called "Big Kid, Little Kid"
last year. An adult was require to accompany the child (parent, aunt,
uncle, older sibling, grand parent).....and to my surprise...the 4 and 5 year olds became the teachers and the adults became the kids!

Do you facilitate SoulCards with others?: Yes

If so, with whom and how?: Love to let anyone draw a random card to keep any place, any time,
for any reason...I just keep buying new decks!

City, state, zip and/or region and country: Rapid City, SD, 57702

The natural language of the soul is the image...and through the discovery of our own unique forms we can find access to an inner guidance that is truly remarkable.

Conversing with your TD images

It is not at all difficult to dialogue with your Touch Drawings. All you need to do is think of a question you would like to ask either a siries of...or a single drawing(s). Write that question in your journal. Then simply close your eyes and allow yourself to remain totally open and receptive as you wait for a response. It will come in the form of an intuitive thought or notion. If you are like most people, you may hear a little voice in your head actually saying the answer. I encourage you to… Continue

I just gotta say that Deborah Koff-Chapin has been an inspiration for me and my journey toward creative outlets and expressions. The Touch Drawing process has been (and continues to be) a healing balm to my spirit. Deborah is a beautiful soul who invited me to explore the world on new creative and spiritual terms though Touch Drawing. It is with appreciative acknowledgement that I recognize the contribution she has made to my life and my recovery efforts..............Thank you Deborah, for being… Continue

It's lovely to meet you
I love that you let people draw and keep cards. I feel that cards, like books, have their own journeys to go on, I rarely end up with full sets or copies for myself, even after several purchases!
Wishing you some fun and sunshine

Thank you for stopping in and asking me to join your page. I look forward to read more about you and your art work. I started my page as a request from my sister SueAnn, but I haven't done a lot on the page yet. I've been a little busy. hahaha
