Part 6 instructions for Express YourFace workshop:

Take your finished piece(s) home, put them somewhere you can see and it will act as a form of subconscious self reflection. Notice how over time, the meaning may change or deepen for you.

Thank you for completing the workshop! Through this practice I hope to instil the power of self reflection through authentic self expression, and how creativity can be used as a way to converse with the subconscious, should you ever need this tool.

A few thoughts I’d like to leave you with:
Art is like a conscious mirror, whatever one sees or feels when looking at it, is a reflection of the self. Just as the world is a mirror to us, Art allows for more conscious awareness of such reflections. Whether it be in the art created by others, or the self, creativity is a powerful way to connect with the subconscious, a window into the self. Creativity and self expression can take many forms, be it through doodles, colour, music, writing, dance, story telling, world building, problem solving and more…it is energy in flow, and a form of internal hygiene. When viewed as a language of expression and a grounding of light, self doubt and judgement that has been instilled within us, can be bypassed, for the child never questions the playfulness of creating in the moment. Creativity is a way of showing up authentically in the moment, and the more we do so, the more our lives can be permeated with such authenticity. The goal; to live by soul expression, while bending deeply grounded as human, to be our natural selves, to honour ourselves as our own highest authority in this lifetime.
