The Aura: Drawing and Movement - Skill-Builder Workshop
Melissa Dunn & Caroline Schmidt
The Aura: Drawing and Movement
You may be familiar with the concept of the aura, a field of energy that surrounds the body. This workshop explores the aura and what it holds, stores and emits. Through gentle movement, breath work and markmaking, students will be guided and invited to explore their auric field. After somatic movement and playful drawing exercises we will begin to illustrate the felt sense of our own energetic field or home. This is an experiential invitation to understand our creative and subtle space. What do you think your aura looks like?
Co-taught by Certified Yoga Therapist and Reiki Master Caroline Schmidt and ShapeShifter Art School co-founder and teacher Melissa Dunn, this art-spa afternoon is for everyone. No art experience required but for the experienced artist, this subtle experience is a perfect overlay for your practice. All movement can be modified to accommodate everyone’s physical needs.
