Season of Reflection

In the Season of Reflection, we embark on an intentional journey of creativity, self-exploration, and growth. Through a variety of artistic techniques and journaling practices, we will pause, process, and honor our experiences while creating meaningful art.

We begin by setting seasonal intentions and creating Life Mind Maps, a powerful tool for clarity and focus. A bonus lesson on Japanese Ledger Binding provides a simple yet beautiful way to craft a unique art journal. 

As we move deeper, we explore personal meaning through shadow box collages, capturing the moments that bring light into our lives. We then journey through the five paths of journaling, discovering how writing can enhance emotional well-being, creativity, productivity, physical health, and mindfulness. 

Midway through the season, we dive into transformational watercolor techniques and meditative mandala-making, blending intuitive mark-making with self-reflection. We then turn our focus inward by translating our dreams into visual journal pages and using silhouette reflections to document the past year while looking toward the future. 

Near the end of our season, we confront inner self-talk, transforming unkind words into positive affirmations through mindful art. Finally, we conclude with a Show + Tell, where we reflect on the season’s journey and witness the creative process of an artist whose work is deeply intertwined with introspection. 

This season is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and create with intention—honoring where we've been, where we are, and where we're going.
