Hello! I will do all I can to get the word out! My brother is in Vancouver now where he does voice work for his new series for PBS and will be heading here for the weekend--a huge arts and film community there. The book is hopefully heading to the final layout today...it really looks great and I will get you the book version asap! Love to you and have a wonderful time in BC!

Hi Deborah, I'm well. I'm putting together a TD workshop for April. My acupunturist friend, who has come twice already, is coming again and spreading the word with her clients etc. Several have committed so I am excited to be sharing TD again with new folks. I have three TD people, including her, who are interested in doing Moon drawing here at my studio. So far the dates have not worked out but I feel next week will have at least one of them coming. My motivation for the workshop is to introduce TD to a new group in the hopes that some will want to come each month for moon drawing. One has already voiced interest and hasn't even drawn yet!!! I've also been re-energizing and clearing out my studio of non-art stuff so I can accomiidate groups better and have more room to do my work. It is a blossoming time as Spring enters her cycle and I am blessed with re-newed growth. Hope you are doing great and your endeavers are going well. Looking forward to the Gathering as usual. I will keep you posted on how things are going. Take care, Love and Hugs.......Shanti Wolf
Hi, Deborah! I am so sad that due to various circumstances I have been unable to join you and Jack and your wonderful class this weekend at CIIS! I just wanted to extend a greeting to all of your students, and to share how excited I am to meet all of them on the second weekend, and to share how Touch Drawing can be used for pain management and a variety of other things in a clinical setting. Do know that I will be taking a break from the mountain of work I am in the midst of to draw myself this afternoon, and that I am available to try to do the inner portrait partner section over the phone (it is an exchange of energy, afterall). I certainly know that is less than ideal, but please know you can call upon me today (415-425-5690) to do so if you wish! Otherwise, have a fantastic class. I am sure it is just as special and wonderful as always... See you soon!
Thanks, Deborah. I wasn't sure if it was cool to list my classes here, but I will now. I'm not sure about an online group, but I'll ask whoever shows up the first time.
Hi Deborah,
Thanks for your nice message, I look forward to meeting you in class next week too! It looks like it will be a wonderful experience!
Warmly,
jennie
Hi Deborah, just a heads up. We began a healing arts co-op here in Lafayette and as an ice breaker, I have introduced your wonderful Touch Drawing to our group. Yeh! Photos and write up is to follow. Thanks for your inspiring art work and your dedication. More classes to follow in Colorado.
Yes, I look forward to trying it out as well...of course I've touched the paper before in the process of traced monotype, but never explored that fully...just as a way to make a different type of mark. I am going to embark on a large scale monotype soon and perhaps it will come into play
Hi Deborah,
Yes, that's it! I love this method and came upon it accidentally when I was 16. I thought I had discovered it, but later found out that Gaugin and Degas, and I'm sure many other artists both did a lot of these!
I will check out where Omega Institute is and hopefully I can come!
Hi Deborah - thanks for your message (via Gwen - that was funny!). Took my board and sat in a sunlit cottage on the Gower Penninsual (south Wales) and had such a peaceful, joyful time...re-finding me. Was gently singing to myself and then really 'heard' my words "Where have you gone?!" And at the end of my session there were the hugest eyes looking back at me "There I am!".
Much love Sarena x
i am so glad to have found you and i purchased the starter kit...although i didnt get a confirmation my order went through...?...i am so looking forward to starting...can you verify if my order did indeed go...
