Welcome to my series: Healing Arts

My desire is to give you the opportunity to experience what it is I mean when I call my work "healing art chaplaincy"

 

Welcome to Lesson 7

 

Find a quiet place and gather a journal or paper and pencils/pens/colored pencils/markers/crayons

Take a few moments to take some deep breaths and center yourself.

Click here to find some of the psalms as prayers I have added to the blog and read one quietly to yourself or out loud to aid in your centering process.

Now let's begin

View and Reflect:

1. Who do you know that would really like this artwork? Why would they like it?
2.  What does this painting say about the world in which we live? 
3. What is strange about this painting?  
   What wisdom are you experiencing TODAY through this piece of art?

   Create: 

   
   

   We move more deeply into the Creativity practice using one of the following options:

   Begin to write about a time when you felt like the woman in this piece

   or

   Create a drawing based on your writing

   or

   Recreate Mahallati's painting while experiencing the feelings of this piece.
