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
Upcoming Symposium:
Re-Becoming the One: Healing Our Relationships to Gender, Sexuality, Love, and Life Itself.
June 14 – June 21, 2022.
Are you feeling a call to be a part of the healing of our planet, of our world, and of ourselves?
Join me and over thirty wonderful speakers for a free, online symposium called Re-Becoming the One: Healing Our Relationships to Gender, Sexuality, Love, and Life Itself. It will be held from June 14-June 21, 2022.
Register here: https://livingtheonelight.com/free-symposium/
This symposium offers an opportunity for us each to bring all of ourselves (as mind, heart, body, spirit, soul, Earth, cosmos, and the divine) to our role in healing ourselves and in being healing and change agents in this world.
This symposium acknowledges the crucial moment we are in, as individuals and as a collective. Our world is steeped in tragedy on many levels AND at the same time, we are at a turning and choice point where we each can choose to “be the change that we need.”
The speakers in this symposium address the healing of our relationships to gender and sexuality and draw the connections between the healing of gender and sexuality to the larger context of the needs of our world with regard to social and environmental healing of all kinds.
Most conversations around the healing of gender tend to be focused on either "the masculine" or "the feminine" alone and also tend to be focused on the experiences of heterosexual and cisgender people.
This symposium brings together work being done on the healing and re-emergence of the divine feminine with work being done on the healing of the divine masculine. It then also contextualizes this healing work in a way that is explicitly inclusive and supportive of LGBTQIA+ identities.
The healing of our relationships to gender and sexuality are crucial, whatever our gender identities and sexual orientations are. This symposium welcomes and celebrates the inclusion of everyone, whether transgender, gender fluid, non-binary, cisgender, straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and more.
If this inclusive healing work and conversation calls to you, please join us!
We are each needed in this crucial healing time.

Join us for this beautiful opportunity to heal ourselves, change our lives, and change our world.

Feeling the Magic of Your Aliveness
ALCHEMY OF THE ELEMENTS
Join us for this 3 day/3 night immersive experience with nature to enhance wellness for health care providers, artists and creative beings. And anyone who is looking to recharge and refuel to be more fully present and alive.
We will cultivate our connection to the natural world and to the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Through various practices we will be supported to feel our aliveness, process and transform challenges, and gain more presence.
We will learn to integrate and apply trauma-informed creative arts practices, transpersonal and ecopsychology-inspired tools to our clinical work with clients. Through experiencing our own grief- and growth work, we can facilitate and be present to the growth and grief work of others (clients or loved-ones).
This soul-rejuvenating workshop will include experiential arts activities, ritual, writing, painting, meditation, yoga, breathwork and ample time in nature. All these practices are resourcing to support us to be with the challenges of life, enhance our resiliency and feel the magic of our aliveness.
As we nourish ourselves, we will also engage in deep resourcing practices that can serve our work with clients and give space for our own emotional life while cultivating joy, play and deep connection with self and others.
Possible CEUs available for MFT's and LCSW's. Food and Lodging provided. Inclusive for all.
A negative COVID test on the day of workshop required.
Cost depending on accommodations: $600-1125 (*Plus Eventbrite fees).
$75 early bird discount if you register by March 15, 2022.
Registration closes by April 24th, 2022.

Have you always wanted to have more time for creativity, fun and play?
Do you have a hard time doing it on your own?
Are you going through overwhelm, stress, loneliness and isolation?
Are you dealing with anxiety and depression?
Are you going through a breakup, dealing with chronic pain, or dealing with loss?
Are you looking to shift/change your relationship, career, and way of living?
These opportunities are springboards to discover yourself in new ways
and the creative arts can support you in finding
clarity, soothing, release and transformation
in the container of loving kindness, empowerment and validation.
Aliveness has many shapes and forms, a myriad of feelings and sensations.
Aliveness is active, it is a force that moves through us and no matter what our interpretations, stories and judgments are about what we experience, being present to what is alive in us will bring us home and can free us from our judgments.
Wherever and however you find yourself you are welcomed, invited to bring all of you to this process of exploration, curiosity, grounding and connecting with your own process through creativity and nature.
Imagine a time where you can explore and create to your heart’s content. Full of play and curiosity surrounded by other like-minded souls. Entering the zone where time disappears. Not distracted by external demands or multi-tasking.
Actually having time to listen to yourself and be listened to and create in the process.
BENEFITS: Being immersed in the creative process in a communal setting can shift old beliefs, patterns and open new perspectives as well as give space for grieving and mourning what has been lost. It increases the overall flow in all aspects of life. It is fun, playful and deep.
ART FOR WELLNESS WORKSHOPS ON HOLD.
WHAT ELSE?
Art Materials will be provided. No Art experience necessary. You can bring projects you have wanted to complete. Close to the event there will be another email coming to all registered participants with directions, so please provide your email.
