“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.
- Each Intensive is built around a Life Force Arts Ensemble performance which channels the healing energy from spirit guides. Intensive participants attend, and there are also art making sessions, writing and discussion.
- Experience sound healing, dance, vocal and instrumental music, and shamanic journey meditation in the sacred space created by our art exhibit.
Each Healing Arts Intensive is
- six weeks
- has a Group of six to eight participants
- guided by a Facilitator(s).
The sessions are:
- June 20 – Orientation with Joan Forest Mage – Welcome and celebration of Summer Solstice. Creation of each participant’s Intention (Transformational Goal) for the Intensive. Introduction to The Fire of Life LFAE Performance that the Group will be attending: its theme, spirit guides, Main Text, visuals/artwork, music and movement.

- July 11 – LFAE performance The Fire of Life – Participants observe Ensemble members in a Shamanic Performance which includes dance, singing, sound healing, instrumental music, poetry and visual art.

- create writing and poetry based on their Transformational Goals, which the LFAE performers may recite or sing during the performance
