APRIL 2014 E-NEWS 
Creative Life Skills for Personal, Professional, and Social Change

Thank you to everyone who made our weekend with Pat B. Allen a very special experience!
Pat inspired, guided, witnessed, and held the space for some powerful intention setting, art-making and witness writing at the filled-to-capacity Saturday workshop.
Pat, a big hug of gratitude to you!!

At the Friday night event, Pat's "audience participation slide talk" enticed us all to explore our creativity as a pathway to change through collaborative inquiry.

We are delighted that Pat has connected with us here in Sarasota and we look toward more partnering with her in the future!

Our volunteers - Donna Papenhausen, Jerilyn Holt, Denise Auld, Barb Harvey and Katrina Plato - helped make both events run  smoothly and seamlessly!

And - a very special treat was Joe Arnold's live native
flute music which supported and honored the art-making process. Thank you, Joe!

The Out-of-Door Academy on Siesta Key was a great venue!

At the heart of it all is you - this heart-centered expressive arts community - showing up and supporting events such as this. We welcomed many old and new friends. both local and from a distance. We are so very grateful for your support!




We thank Linda Maree for her recent presentation at Expressive Arts Community Networking! What a great night! - we danced, we wrote, we shared, under Linda's expert guidance! Learn more about Linda's upcoming and ongoing offerings in our community

Do you have accommodation that you would like to add to our housing list? Our intensives are generally in April, October, and January, and our students are looking for 4-5 days, and sometimes up to 2 weeks. Let us know if you have an apartment or room for rent, or to share. Thanks!
