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.

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.

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. You also may wish to bring additional personal items for adornment of your mask. Please bring a sack lunch.

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.

Texas Red Tents Gather at Wild Heart Art
January 17, 2012
7 pm - 9 pm
For More Information and to Register contact Texas Red Tents
The Red Tent Gatherings are meant to be an experience that many women might not have realized they were missing from their lives until perhaps reading The Red Tent: A Novel by Anita Diamant. It was a time where woman took time away among the women when women’s bodies were in tune with one another and the moon. It is our hope that we can bring this experience to women once again. You will be immersed within the textiles of the red tent with all the pillows of comfort to bond with women and explore your own divine feminine within. These are offered on a monthly basis as well as twice a year for weekend retreats.
The Red Tent Movement is alive and well in the world with women coming together to just “be”. A miraculous thing happens when women come together, it is a bee hive of activity because we are just always on the go with what needs to be done. Many just come together with no plan in mind however many know us well that it is always about a theme and a plan so to totally let go is just…..smile. We have some rough themes for each month listed below however there is time to just relax and be a bee in the hive of women.
Nourishment to share is appreciated. Some months another in the hive might bring something while another month it may be someone else. Overall though, there is always enough. Some months it is a matter of truly taking time to just be so it is OK if some months you are not able to bring something to share. If you are bringing something, please make it vegetarian friendly. Intent in cooking is a wonderful thing, store bought items are welcome however perhaps take a moment to give of yourself with a morsel from the heart.

Location: Camp Allen, Navasota, TX (just northwest of Houston)
Hosted by: Liz Plaster

We have some dynamic presenters lined up set to bring about the process of Freeing the Beat Within you. When you release that dynamic woman with; you are able to truly be a Woman Living Consciously in the moment.

Freeing Your Beat Within through thought and action to truly be Women Living Consciously.
Facilitated by Texas Red Tents - Tina Dismukes
Creating a gathering of women in the spirit of tolerance and nurturing of life much in the way one might have envisioned the women of “The Red Tent” did. Women are beautiful beings capable of so much within themselves that we sometimes forget to nourish that inner feminine within ourselves. She creates gatherings which open the doorways of self reflection and insight to be the woman you always knew you could be.
Benefiting:Living Forward Alliance - Our Charity of Choice
The Living Forward Alliance brings together women from all walks of life around our community who volunteer to work with women newly released for community supervision from the Harris County Community Supervision And Corrections Department. The program is not mandatory—participants must choose to participate freely. But when they do, they become part of a comprehensive program that restores them to the whole and empowered person they are meant to be, a program that truly sets them free to live a positive life, accomplish their dreams and restore broken relationships.
