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.

1 KALEIDOSCOPE: Artistic Techniques for the Creative Soul.



Collage for the Wild Heart and Wild Heart Altar Screens
Express your creativity through collage in an intuitive process of exploration and artmaking.

As with all other Wild Heart Art offerings, no previous art experience is necessary. You will be guided and supported in an atmosphere of caring and sharing as you experiment and play with a wonderful array of materials and techniques. In this class participants absolutely delight in the magic of the creative process.

Most materials are provided but you may want to add personal items to make it uniquely yours. Just scout around the home before class and find any small pictures, poems, totems, icons and/or sacred symbols that are meaningful to you.




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.



Other Programs
At Wild Heart Art we are always adding fun ways to express your creativity. You never know what is new so check the calendar frequently to see what is coming. We welcome your requests and suggestions, and will also design a program especially for you and your group.


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. It becomes your very personal icon that symbolically represents what brings you strength and well-being.


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.

JUNK… JAZZ… JOY… JOURNALS PLUS COLLAGE!!
March 6, 2010
Presented by Mary Jane White, MS, LMSW
Saturday, 10 am - 3 pm
Houston Heights/ 909 Harvard Street Studio

Journals are an amazing and easy way to record and process the people, places and things of your life. Whether you want to write down your daily junk to clear the way for fertile thinking (a la Julia Cameron’s Morning Pages), keep track of all your jazzy creations such as song lyrics, a novel, or poetry, OR just keep a journal of gratitude and joy (a la Sarah Ban Breathnach), this workshop is for YOU! And the added bonus is that not only will you write whatever is most important or compelling for you, you will learn simple collage techniques to create your beautiful Journal cover and as many pages as you have time to do.

There have been many books written about the health benefits of journaling, particularly with reference to difficult emotional experiences. So, if you add the benefits of writing/journaling to the joyful process of creating collage, you have a winning wellness combo. This workshop will be an opportunity to relax, rejuvenate, release old fears/self-talk, and most of all to remember who you are – a creative/spiritual being in a human body.

You will use music, meditation, mindfulness, magic (well, maybe not that), snacking (always good for creativity), candle-gazing, writing and collage as your guides for this journey into heart writing. As always, the environment of Wild Heart Art is one that deeply supports your experience, whether as a “newbie” or a returning friend. Come write your Junk, Jazz or Joy – or all three!!

Mary Jane White is a speaker on stress management and wellness, and is a part-time artist. She has facilitated dozens of women’s workshops throughout the United States and groups over the last 15 years, and is particularly interested in the relationship between creativity, spirituality and wellness.

The cost of the workshop will be $65 + $10 materials fee due upon registration. Registration deadline February 27, 2010.

ARTFUL APRIL

Wild Arted Art in April is sure to release the wild within!
Join us in these new offerings and give yourself permission
to go wild with creativity.





PASSIONATE, POWERFUL, PURPOSEFUL POETRY…PLUS COLLAGE
April 10, 2010
Saturday, 10 am - 3 pm
Presented by Mary Jane White, MS, LSMW
Houston/Heights 909 Harvard Street Studio

Dr. Rachel Naomi Remen writes in POETIC MEDICINE:

“Poetry is simply speaking truth. Each of us has a truth as unique as our own fingerprints. Without knowing that truth, without speaking it aloud, we cannot know who we are and that we are already whole. In the most profound way, speaking our truth allows us to know that our life matters, that our viewpoint has never existed before. That our suffering, our joy, our fears and our hopes are important and meaningful. One of the best kept secrets in this technically oriented culture is that simply speaking truth heals.

In this workshop you will explore the power of poem-making in a very different way – poetry from the heart that has no requirements of rhythm, alliteration, stanza, or any other poetic device or rule – simply your truth. This process involves drawing a “pinch” of words from a container – the words have been typed and cut into small pieces before the workshop – and making sentences from the words you draw to write your poetry, your story, your life. Then you will learn simple collage techniques to put into visual form whatever inspires you from your written words.

You will be guided with meditation and music to move into the writing process, and you will be thrilled and delighted with all the fabulous art supplies for your creative pleasure that are available at Wild Heart Art Studio.

Bring your open mind, your authentic self, and your willingness to explore the unknown for a unique experience with poetry and collage.

No experience necessary. Maximum 10 persons,minimum 5. $65, plus materials fee of $10.00

Mandala Heart Art
September 11, 2010
Mandala Heart Art
Saturday, Noon - 4:00 pm
Houston Heights/ 909 Harvard Street Studio

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.

Arte del CorazĂłn Nichos ( Heart Art Niches) & Dia De Los Muertos
October 30, 2010
Arte del CorazĂłn Nichos ( Heart Art Niches) & Dia De Los Muertos
Saturday, Noon - 5:00 pm.
Houston Heights/ 909 Harvard Street Studio

Arte del CorazĂłn 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 nicho with symbols, pictures, and words or fill it with mementos that honor a loved one.

Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a unique event widely celebrated in Mexico and among Hispanic Americans. It is a time in which departed family members and other loved ones are honored. We will discuss some of the interesting aspects of this tradition and you may choose to create an "Ofrenda" in memory of someone special to you.

Most materials included but we suggest you bring any special momentos or photos that you would like to include in your Nicho or "Ofrenda". Items should be small ranging in size up to about 2" and not be more than 1/4" deep to achieve the best results. Your piece may honor one person or more. Below are some suggestions that will be helpful.

Possible items to include in your Dia de los Muertos Ofrenda (altar) which in this case will be a collage or assemblage made from a cigar box.
- Photos (I will scan and print them out if you do not want to use the original).
- Representations (photos or small momentos) of your loved ones favorite things, food, flowers, religious or spiritual items, or activity.
- Altar items often include symbols of fire, wind, water, and earth.
