The Universal Artist:
The Inner Patterns That Protect, Block, and Awaken Your Creative Life
Tue, June 23 • 1PM – 4 PM
Art Collective St. Augustine Gallery ~ 51 Cordova Street, Saint Augustine FL
This workshop is especially valuable for artists, creatives, and seekers who feel blocked, stuck, uncertain, or ready for a new chapter of growth and expression. Perfect for anyone who senses there is more creativity, courage, and authenticity waiting to emerge.
Each participant receives a guided reflection workbook to support insight, note taking, and personal discoveries throughout the workshop. You will leave with a greater self-understanding, renewed creative clarity, and a meaningful collage artwork that can continue to inspire your journey.
Every artist carries a luminous creative self, but also a set of inner survival patterns that can protect, limit, bargain with, or sabotage that creative life. In this reflective and eye-opening workshop, participants will explore the four universal survival archetypes through the lens of the artist’s journey.
These patterns are known as the Child, Victim, Compromiser, and Saboteur. Rather than treating creative blocks as failures, participants will learn to recognize them as meaningful patterns asking for awareness, healing, and integration.
Through guided teaching, journaling, symbolic imagery, gentle embodiment, and creative mapping, participants will identify the archetypal forces shaping their own creative path. Participants will also create a personal symbolic art piece using intuitive imagery and collage elements that gives visible form to their discoveries and emerging creative truth.
Class Fee: $75
Max of 15 students – All Skill Levels Welcome – 18 and older please
Materials:
Please bring a small portable watercolor kit, if you have one. All other materials are provided by instructor, including curated reflection sheets, imagery, collage materials, and art substrates
