The Luminous Dark process art course

Workshop / Class

Awakening Artistry creative arts studio · Rondebosch, South Africa

Winter asks something of us that no other season does. It asks us to slow down, to go inward, to sit with what is quiet and unresolved and not yet visible. In a world that rewards productivity and performance above almost everything else, this feels countercultural — even uncomfortable. And yet something in us recognises it as necessary. As true. Because stillness is not emptiness. And darkness, as it turns out, is one of the most faithful and creative forces there is. There is a kind of work that only winter makes possible. This is what The Luminous Dark is for. “Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell.” — Rainer Maria Rilke There are also classes on a Tuesday and Thursday morning, please enquire.

One-off process art workshop

Art

Garden studio in leafy Rondebosch · Rondebosch, South Africa

You are invited, as we head into winter, to come and experience creativity as a doorway to your inner landscapes, while gently welcoming the art of letting go as we prepare ourselves for the coming months. Through perceptual drawing exercises, interesting materials and beautiful autumn pallets…using inks, dyes and Jik effects, we will draw, paint and reflect through the natural world. Please join me in reconnecting with the sacred rhythm of nature, and your creativity.

Body Elementals

Workshop / Class

Awakening Artistry Studio · Cape Town, South Africa

Through immersive, process-based artmaking, you’ll create a life-sized body map that becomes both mirror and metaphor. By working with intuitive, unpredictable techniques, we bypass the thinking mind and allow deeper insights to surface. Stepping back, you’ll see yourself from a new perspective—discovering fresh ways to ground your body, ignite your fire, free your voice, and move in spirit. Earth grounds the physical body. What feels solid beneath my feet? Where am I stuck or rigid? Fire stirs the emotional body. What ignites me? What burns me up? Air awakens the intellectual body. What truth am I voicing? What am I holding my breath about? Water nourishes the spiritual body. Where do I feel lifted and flowing? Where do I feel like I’m drowning? https://linktr.ee/?utm_source=linktree&utm_medium=profile&utm_campaign=footer_logo_cta&utm_content=hayley.awakeningartistry
