Sometimes a Playshop comes together with a delicious constellation of participants, art supplies, meaning, and creation. The HeArt Zine Creative Playshop I co-facilitated with the remarkable Dodi Jackson  was one such moment in time. You can read about the creative process that lead to magic of this Creative Playshop in this post. Invigorated and cocooned by the intentional Heart energy that permeated the whole of The Body Now Retreat, hosted by Turning the Wheel Productions,

I am honored to be returning to the Body Now Summer Retreat hosted by Turning the Wheel, after a year hiatus, June 23rd – 29th. The theme for this year’s retreat is “Path of the Heart,” which resonates so strongly with me at this time in my life.

Statement I wanted to make a collage of sounds for this project. Most of my art is multimedia and I didn’t want to stray away from that theme for this project. I collected a lot of sounds, some found, some created to blend together and create the ambient soundscape I am presenting.

The professor presented the opportunity for students in the class to create an 8 x 10 print in the medium of their choice for the show.
