May 6th-8th.  ONSITE and HANDS ON

Join us at the Living Wisdom Center, on the campus of Ananda Village near Nevada City California.  Accommodations with delicious vegetarian meals are available at the beautiful Expanding Light Retreat Center. 

Discover Your ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC Creative Expression!

This immersive weekend takes a joyous leap into the sheer delight of childlike spontaneous self-expression.  As we free the blocks that keep us from expressing our own unique BEING- we open the channel for the flow of Divine Energy through us.

What you will Discover:

♥ The pure JOY of childlike spontaneous expression

♥ Your own ORIGINAL artistic voice

♥ How to OPEN the doorway to inspiration

It is only scary for the first 3 seconds.  The time it takes to say YES.  Once you are willing, the floodgates will open.  Dance while you paint, laugh while you create… PLAY!  The product is irrelevant.  This is not about making ‘art’.  It’s about recovering your inner vitality.  It’s about becoming a child so that you can enter the kingdom of God.

“I always love it when people say ‘baby steps’ to imply they’re being tentative, when actually baby steps are a great unbalanced, wholehearted enthusiastic lurch into the unknown.”
Olivia Smith

The Living Wisdom Center is a gorgeous space designed to be a center for the Arts.  Ananda village is an intentional spiritual community founded in 1968.  Ananda is based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.  The Expanding Light Retreat Center offers daily Yoga and Meditation as well as delicious vegetarian meals. 

Ananda Village is also home to the Crystal Hermitage which hosts the annual Tulip Festival, well known in Nevada County.  Our workshop takes place just a week after the festival so the gardens will still be lovely!
