An Online Self-Portrait Journey at Year’s End – Three Fridays in Dec 8th, 15th, & 22nd
“Who have I been, who am I now,
and how will I re-vision myself?
The closing of the calendar year provides an opportunity to mark the cycle of time, to take stock of where and who we’ve been, and to envision our future.
As 2023 comes to a close and 2024 awaits us, we use the Tamalpa Life/Art Process to reflect on who we’ve been this last year, who we are today, and who we want to become. Using the power of drawing, dance, creative writing and community, we explore ourselves through a self-portrait process that can help us mark the passage of time and tend to our growth.
No art or dance experience needed.
To get the most out of this online class, please prepare a comfortable space to move in with access to your online device. Also, have art supplies ready at hand for the drawing activity and paper and pen for journaling and creative writing exercises.
