~The Participants;
Who Goes to the Workshops?
Women and men from early twenties to mid-seventies, from all
walks of life; students, therapists, nurses and doctors, aspiring
actors and artists, bookkeepers, bodyworkers, parents, computer programmers,
writers, couples, singles. Individuals who wish to engage in group
work, knowing the magic that happens when people create sacred space
together.
People from all
spiritual practices, religions, and beliefs join in the journey together.
We remember that we are connected, as we build bridges through kindness,
sharing, making art, and creating healing ceremonies--together.
We remember we
are not alone.
~What Happens?
Each morning is started with a walk in nature, morning meditation,
yoga or dream drawing. The we start our Inner Work, dropping into
our souls journey through the artistic process, shamanic journeys,
or circle sharing.
...and then
there's The Food
At the overnight retreats, we have discovered that doing The
Work develops an appetite to enjoy the fresh vegetarian meals, healthy
desserts, with herb teas and coffee offered throughout the day.
~Creative
& Shamanic Arts~
As the energy
of the workshop increases, intimacy builds and the soul work deepens.
We lift the veils of our dark hearts and move it into art, to release
and let go and surrender to growth. Everyone
has a different story, pain, obstacle or issue they are in process
with--so the individuals work is focalized depending on the workshop
into creative arts, inner soul work and healing, rituals, shamanic
work and sacred theater. For
more information on the fun and benefits of using games, skits, and
performance to overcome blocks please click on Sacred
Theater.
Many people report

workshops offered at Kristena West Studios changes their lives,
habits and creativity for the better by bringing back their natural
joy and enthusiasm, inspiring them into claiming their life purpose,
and living life fully.
