“I felt as if this Healing Arts Intensive was awakening me into clarity. I could not have imagined the shift I underwent from the first session until the end. I shed the old identity to see what was below the surface. My focus shifted, my understanding of my gifts was clarified.”

“The very act of setting a transformational goal is a big step in the healing process.  The Healing Arts Intensive provides many opportunities for healing, growth, introspection and self-expression, to name a few.” 

What happens in a Healing Arts Intensive?

• Participants focus on a personal Transformational Goal which they manifest through the entire range of observing and creating the arts.
• The Orientation session helps participants identify their Transformational Goals through discussion, meditation and connecting with their spirit guides.
• In the Art Making and Writing sessions, participants experience creating their own visual art and creative writing to make further progress towards their Transformational Goals. 
• Participants attend a shamanic Sound Healing Theater performance by Life Force Arts Ensemble, our professional performing company. Watching the spirit channeled vocal and instrumental music, dance and poetry can create profound energetic shifts in the participants’ Transformational Goals.   
•  We conclude the Intensive with the Closure session: sharing of experiences, meditation and a final visual art making and writing project.

Each Healing Arts Intensive is

• six weeks: once a week for two hours each session
• has six to eight participants
• facilitated by shamanic artist-healers from Life Force Ensemble and/or Associate Artists
