This is an example of the touch drawing. Developed by Deborah Koff-Chapin intuitively, it is a way to draw through touch using paper and either ink or paint. It will take several tries to get the feel of it. It is a interesting exercise in honing the sense of touch to work for you , and being more intimately aware of your gifts!
Here are some examples of self-guidance cards, based off Seena Frost who uses the term Soul Collage. Anne is due to be certified in the fall.All images are intuitively selected from images available, and created into a card. The first one we will do is a source card or God card, which I illustrated as a diamond in the universe, but yours can be what ever you want, because you are starting your deck. I have integrated these cards into my daily Christian practice asking for guidance about what parts of me can help or what parts of me get in the way.
This is an example of a decorated tile of one word. We will be creating many tiles to make a group poem with the help of published poet Thasia Anne Lunger. Please join us July 11, 2019
