Engaging in the creative process is meditation and action combined, touching the mystery of life and highlighting your encounter within it.  It serves as reflection of being fully in your life, true to each moment and responsive to what is emerging within you.  It is about the process of being alive, being in the moment and being truly yourself.  Nicki Koethner

​ART FOR WELLNESS


​Being immersed in the creative process allows us to connect to a deeper part of ourselves. We can reflect, integrate, and find new ways to being with the stress in our lives. The arts for wellness help us to cope with stress, illnesses, chronic pain, losses and to regain strengths and resources.

In this class we will be immersed in creative processes through painting, drawing, crafts, writing, poetry, movement, clay, music, guided meditation and play.
No prior art experience required.

TESTIMONIAL
I had the pleasure and privilege  of taking part in an amazing and life-changing expressive arts workshop facilitated by Nicki Koethner. Nicki’s experience and knowledge of  her subject contributed to a day of intense personal transformation. I had more of an emotional breakthrough with her in 8 hours than I have experienced in the last 15 years using other therapeutic methods. Nicki's insights and perception  are extraordinary and her compassion and love for expressive arts make working with her an absolute joy. I give her my highest recommendation.
