Eco-print workshops
Eco-print (or close-contact printing) uses natural materials with metal, silk, fire and water in an alchemical process to create works of exquisite beauty. Eco-print is a gorgeous modality to work with as it teaches us to let go, to trust in the process, and be open to the mystery of the elements coming together. It truly is a collaborative process.

Open Studio - Group Art Therapy
Open Studio is a simple and profound process. Beginning with mindfulness practice, trusting the wisdom of the body, we come to the page without expectation. We might choose to simply allow the flow, or we might set an intention in the form of a question or particular inquiry. Our movement flows onto the page and we create. We then speak to the process of unfolding and what is present for us in the art making, with our peers in the role of silent witness.
Cocoon Open Studio is currently running from the SWell Centre Hawthorn, Thursday 2.30-4.30pm. Please call 0409946994 to book your place.

SpiritSong - Vocal Collective
Have you been longing for a nurturing space in which to share your voice and creative expression?
Do you love chant, bliss out on harmonies, and get energised by toning and improvisation?
SpiritSong Vocal Collective is a community of people who intuit the power of sound to connect, expand and transform. At SpiritSong, we value embodiment, creative expression, connection to and honouring of the Earth, and community connectedness. The SpiritSong repertoire incorporates material from sacred song traditions and contemporary artists.
SpiritSong is a ten week immersion in chant and song, building a repertoire of meaningful, heart opening and connecting songs with rich layered harmony and improvisational elements.
Michelle has been offering sacred sound circles and community choir facilitation for ten years. Weaving together the elements of ritual, intention, song, improvisation, toning and instrumentation, these sessions are both nourishing and transformative.
Sounding together can help to free your voice, develop confidence, enhance connection with self and others and open your heart.

(re-) Awakening the Creative Self
After many years of experiencing the profound benefits of engaging in a variety of creative modalities, I’ve created a fabulous immersion in creativity in the form of a short course; (re-)Awakening the Creative Self!
This course is perfect for people who have been longing to bring more creativity into their lives, or wishing to expand into new creative territory. Perhaps you've been sitting with the belief that you're 'just not creative' at all? Perhaps you find it easy to paint, but singing feels like an impossible thing for you?
This is not about developing technical skills in any particular mode, but more about the meta-processes involved in opening to flow, listening into inner impulse and witnessing what is wanting to emerge.
We'll use meditation, reflection, and sharing, along with writing, movement, sounding, visual and sculptural explorations.
