I’m going on a retreat, will you come! 🤩

By Dan Tanner  |   in art journal  | Tags: art musings , art journal , tamara laporte , Willowing Arts  

Dear  <<First Name>>,

The process of self empathy plays a huge role in my personal healing journey. Those of you’ve who’ve been on Life Book with me for a while will have joined me for an art lesson that included some kind of version of self empathy. I think extending kindness, love and understanding to ourselves in times of distress and pain can facilitate a rich, loving connection with ourselves that can support healing and growth.

This year, on the FREE Woman Unleashed Retreat, I will be sharing with you how I do self empathy on an issue about myself that I struggle with. I want to show you how you can transform a judgement that you have of yourself (which may feel a little ‘monstrous’ to you) into a quirky, happy little empathy monster who just needed some love and attention from you. Look at the sweet guy we’ll make together, come join and create with me? .

So, as we’re about to enter the season of solstice, I’d like to invite you on a journey to nourish your creative spirit, listen to the wisdom of your body, and connect with spirit and your intuition. ⭐️

I’m inviting you to join me at the Woman Unleashed Online Retreat.

Woman Unleashed is the most popular online women’s retreat in the world (so popular, over 120,000+ women have attended previous seasons). During the retreat, you can enjoy sessions on art, journaling, movement, activations and initiations to help you awaken your sacred calling, your self-expression, and intuitive gifts. Retreat sessions are led by world-renowned artists, teachers, speakers, authors and healers (including lil’ ol’ me!) 🙃

If you’re feeling called to nourish yourself, to connect with your spirit while having fun and get into some creative flow,

⇒> Save your spot in the retreat here!

When you register you’ll be able to:

  • Attend the retreat sessions around your schedule
  • Wear your comfy yoga pants.
  • Drink tea (or wine) from your favorite cup.
  • Be a part of a global sisterhood of women who are saying YES!! to themselves, who are choosing to care for themselves and follow the calling of Spirit
  • Now, more than ever, we are called to listen within, to Spirit.
  • To take care of ourselves.
Come.
Much love, Tam 💕

Art can truly be so magical. I’m sure you heard Art can truly be so magical. I’m sure you heard the phrase, "Art imitates life," right? I had a profound experience of this last night, and I just had to share it. 😊 

So, for the Life Book Taster sessions I create about 3 new sessions each year and this week I’ve been working on a session in which we paint an 'Autumn Fairy'. The theme for this session is 'letting go' and 'releasing negative energies from our lives'. My intention was to draw her as an adult female embodying the wisdom of the season. But as I painted, something unexpected happened. No matter how I tried, a younger face would consistently emerge on the page...

Remember when the other day I shared my fears about my children taking new steps in their educational journey? The trepidation, the joy, the desire to protect, and the necessity to let go? Well, I suddenly had a sense that this ‘younger face’ was wanting to come forward and have her voice heard! 

It was like the younger Autumn Fairy felt like she was trying to remind me of my own vulnerabilities and strengths. Or maybe she was reminding me that even though *I* went through difficult times in school and was bullied a lot, my children won’t necessarily go through that and maybe she was a symbolic nudge from the universe, telling me to 'trust' more and 'fear' less for my children. I love ‘allowing the art to take the lead’ and letting it guide me to my subconscious experiences. It’s like having a conversation with your higher self as you paint! Art, in its mysterious ways, teaches, heals, and sometimes, just holds up a mirror to our souls.

Isn’t it amazing how art has its own way of reflecting life back to us? It’s like our subconscious finds its voice in the strokes and hues. Those deep-seated feelings or elements we might have tucked away unknowingly, suddenly find a way to dance on the page! It’s truly like magic! 😁 

In the dance of life and the strokes of a brush, there are lessons waiting to be uncovered. Thank you for being a part of this wondrous journey.

We are making this painting on the Taster Sessions next week. it includes a super fun leaf printing technique I can't wait to share with you! Join us!
