Wild Heart Painting
Through discussion and painting you are introduced to the wonder of your
creativity. You will be guided and supported as you connect to your innate
creative source as a means of authentic self-expression. This powerful and
transformative process invites passion, play, and purpose. All you need is a
willingness to open your heart and explore.
The program begins with dialogue and the concepts that make painting for
process unique. Within the first hour you begin painting using a rich array
of succulent colors and fine brushes. You will discover that painting can be
a joyful sensual experience.
Elisabeth Keely Wilson captures the experience of the creative process and
describes it as, "Opening to the mystery of myself, I am asked to enter the
unknown and to follow my instincts. Hidden within the cloud of unknowingness
resides a presence which is constantly guiding me toward my true self."1
When you explore your creativity you may be surprised...you may be
delighted...you may be WILD...you learn to trust. Often participants leave
the workshop feeling a new sense of freedom.

Wild Heart Altar Screens are folding collages that can be placed on a table, or as part of a personal altar, and can be folded for storage and travel. They are an exceptional form of personal expression and can provide a visual reminder to connect to and honor that which is meaningful in your life. Many participants elect to create these in memory of a special event or person.
You will be guided in collage techniques to make your altar screen, so bring any significant items you wish to include. It is not necessary to purchase any other supplies for the Altar Screen class.

Arte del Corazón Nichos (Heart Art Niches)
Nichos are small boxes from Mexico. They are often metal with a glass front so that a special personal or religious item can be displayed. You will create your own unique nicho with symbols, pictures, and words. In this program dialogue, inspiration, and reflection invite the heart to express what is meaningful, comforting, and healing for you. Choose from an assortment of supplied materials and bring any keepsakes or trinkets that you wish to include in your Arte del Corazón Nicho.

Collage for the Wild Heart: An Intuitive and Collaborative Process Journal Project
This special project of Wild Heart Art is a year-long exchange that supports each individual's ongoing creative practice. Participants select their own theme, make their journal covers, and three inside pages. The journal then passes throughout the group on a rotation schedule with each person completing art in each journal. At the end of the year there is a reception and showing of all the journals for family and friends to share in this amazing journey. The journal then returns to its original creator.
In the beginning everyone meets to go over the details necessary to ensure a successful program. Other gatherings throughout the year are fun but optional. Attending at least one Wild Heart Art program prior to participation in the program is required so that everyone has an understanding of the "process" approach.
The project that is now in progress. If you are interested in participating in the next project beginning in 2009, please email kay for details.

Wild Heart Art Mask Making
Throughout time masks have been important components of the ceremonial and spiritual life of our ancestors. While masks are generally thought to conceal the wearer, they can also offer revealing and regenerative power.
Connect with your innate creative source energy and make your own unique mask. You will be guided and supported as you animate your mask. As with all Wild Heart Art classes, we will honor the creative process as it unfolds. No previous art or mask making experience is necessary. All materials and snacks are provided.

Mandala Heart Art
Mandalas are considered sacred art. Found in many traditions since ancient
times, the circular image becomes a pathway for self-expression, insight,
healing, and introspective meditation or prayer. Like other programs at Wild
Heart Art, you will be guided and supported throughout the creation of your
personal Mandala. In fostering an atmosphere that invites contemplation,
spontaneity, and creativity, you connect with the inner voice of the
heart as it incubates what needs to be born. All you need reveals itself.

Applying Your Feminine Divine and Healing Wisdom: A study and creative project to explore the feminine archetypes of the Goddess, Shaman, and Crone
Learn about the archetypes of the Goddess, Shaman, & Crone.
Practice BEING with your archetype and in the present. - Identify and access the qualities that call to you and which are uniquely yours. - Be lovingly guided to a new way of perceiving yourself and others. - Learn how to apply these fresh insights to the world we live in today.
Create an art project that reflects your unique expression. Understanding the Goddess, Shaman, and Crone can lead to a different way of perceiving yourself and others. Consider that the GODDESS archetype embodies wisdom, guidance, physical grace, athletic prowess and sensuality. Examples: Athena, warrior woman & Venus, beauty and sexuality. The archetype of the SHAMAN is one of a healer which utilizes the gifts of nature along with spiritual knowledge. Examples: Earth Mother, Mother Nature (Pachu Mama), Spiritual and Religious Leaders, i.e. Mother Teresa. The CRONE represents the ancient wise woman. Aging+Creativity= Metamorphosis. Examples: Our ancestors, our grandmothers, and eventually ourselves.
