Classes & Workshops
Art & Soul classes and workshops are focused on personal and spiritual exploration through meditation, art, writing, and dialogue. These classes are a wonderful way to build a deeper relationship with yourself, express your inner worlds, and to begin (or continue) a wonderful interaction with the free, creative, and interior you.
The aim of these classes and workshops are personal growth, development of a more authentic expression, manifestation of inner dreams and desires, and to create a more solid core sense of yourself. Plus, it is fun to participate in expressive experiences such as this with others who build community around you during this experience.
These workshops are put together with varied art materials and in a cozy, safe environment for you to really let go and be in the experience. Note that these classes and workshops meet in different formats. Some happen in one class and others in multiple classes or meetings.
Our Chosen Workshop for Art & Soul for 2026:
“Your Mythic Journey”
A Four Class Series
with Gwendolyn C. Natusch, M.Ed., MSW
“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” ~ Rumi
The inner organizing of our own personal myths/stories that live within us functions in ways that may be either creative or destructive, healthful or painful. Through the telling of one’s individual stories/myths we provide ourselves with a world picture and a set of stories that explains why things are as they are and give you an authorized map of your path of/in life. A myth, story/stories within us, gives us a plotline that organizes the diverse experience you have had and brings them together into one story line, one world view, one mythic understanding held within you.
“It has always been the prime function of mythology (both personally and that of the tribe and of
mankind as a whole) to supply the symbols that carry the human spirit forward.” ~Joseph Campbell
Our personal myth gives us security and identity, it also creates within us a certain amount of blindness and rigidity because the stories can be intrinsically conservative, written in stone, foundational ideas of our self that can prove to be unsettling to shift and forbidden to challenge. The awareness of and interaction with the “mythic mind” is a new technology and together in this class we will learn how to apply this new way!
I asked myself, “What is the myth you are living?” and found that I did not know. So…I took it upon myself to get to know “my” myth and I regarded this as the task of tasks…I simply had to know what unconscious or preconscious myth was forming me.” ~Carl Jung
In our four weeks together you will come to know your inner stories and interact with them in new ways. Through art, sharing, writing and meditation you will come to treasure the gems in your myth and let go of the parts of your stories that are no longer true for you. This is an experience of dancing with a deeper part of yourself and learning the language of your soul. You will loosen up the stories, dust them off and find a new, brighter and more empowering fit of them to the story you want to unfold into your future. It is a journey of recognizing the hero in you that has championed you all along the way and of once again falling in love with who you really are and claiming this in a deeply powerful way!
“A man is always a teller of tales, he lives surrounded by his stories and the stories of others, he sees everything that happens to him through them.” ~Jean-Paul Sartre
Come, I ask you, come and join this good company with me!
“I give a cheer to the outlaws among us who are living their own authentic stories!” ~Sam Keen
