Entering into the World of Light & Darkness

Charcoal Workshop with Pamela Whitman

Working with the soft and malleable medium of charcoal provides us with a unique artistic experience of becoming sensitive and creative within the realm of light and darkness – bringing depth, form and direction to their interplay. This is a special aspect of Anthroposophic artistic therapy and an essential tool when seeking to support the process of the incarnation of our spirit into our earthly body. Through charcoal work, we learn to bridge between these polar opposites and experience how they can work together in the process of transformation and integration.

Through working on our pictures, we work on ourselves! We can find a breathing connection as we explore the appropriateness of different kinds of boundaries.

This workshop is an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of light and darkness and explore the possibilities for the use of its healing effects. It is a valuable activity to bring to the turbulent years of the mid-teens through adulthood.
