Walking in the Woods
led by Helen Hawes
For years, I have taught drawing workshops in the studio. In these weekend workshops, the studio has vanished and with it, the polarities between art and life, product and process. In the studio's place stand the woods, mountains, and rivers of Vermont. Participants will have the chance to walk in the woods at sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, at midday and midnight, in rain and shine. We will watch, listen, and feel as the metaphors, like living dreams, arise. Here in this new studio we will explore our fears of being alone, being lost, being in the dark, being in the wild. Here in this new studio we will discover the thrills of being alone, being lost, being in the dark, and being in the wild. Using Guided exercises, free walks, mapping, and journaling, we will create a safe place to play and learn the skills we need to navigate in the realm of the unseen reality.
