THE ART SPEAKS AND SHARES:
RECEIVING MESSAGES, GLEANING MEANING JOIN BEVERLY GORDON FOR AN ART EXPLORATION Sunday, Sept. 15, 2019 1-4 pm, west side of Madison--call for details My collages and assemblage sculptures often “speak” to me when they are complete; it is a kind of channeling through art (or channeled art). Come explore this with me, and see if there are messages for you, as well. This can also function as a kind of oracle, or wisdom journey, for the gathered group. It’s fun, fascinating, and meaningful. AND there will be a give-away/love offering of many pieces that want new homes—maybe something wants to go home with you! AND there will be refreshments, laughter, insights, conversation… Beverly Gordon (608) 658-7144; bgordon@wisc.edu; www.beverlygordon.info |

SoulCollage Journeys: Giving Form to Our Inner Guidance
Summer, 2019 in Madison,Wisconsin.
These workshops serve as both an introduction to SoulCollage®, suitable for beginners, and an opportunity for those who have worked with it previously to delve much deeper. We align with and explore the stated theme, do the collage process, and learn what our cards have to say. We will also discuss the many ways cardmaking and consultation can serve as part of an ongoing process of discovery and a meaningful spiritual practice.
All materials provided. Fee: $30-$35 prepaid, $35-40 day of workshop. Preregistration required.
Saturday, June 22, 2019 1-5 pm
Theme: Gifts
We will start by exploring gifts —what we mean by gifts, what gifts we have, what gifts we get, what gifts we give. The cards that come to us that afternoon will be part of the gifting experience. The point is always to get deeper into a sense of gratitude, abundance, and blessing.
Sunday, August 4, 2019, 1-5 pm
Theme: Finding Home
We will explore the idea of finding or coming home—what is your inner-most sense of home? How can it be strengthened and cultivated?
Saturday, August 17, 2019, 1-5 pm
Theme: Wisdom from the Natural World
Many of us feel connected with the natural world, sometimes especially with certain elements, such as trees, flowers, or specific animals. We will use these affinities to seek even greater wisdom and guidance on our life and soul journeys.

PICTURING OUR INNER GUIDANCE with SOULCOLLAGE AND SOUL DOODLES
If you are hoping to be closer in touch with your own inner wisdom and spirit of guidance, this workshop is for you! We will use/play with images to yield guidance in visual form, experimenting with several modalities. SoulCollageÒ involves cutting and pasting printed images and creating intuitively-guided composite pictures and then discovering what they have to “say.” Soul Doodles involves highlighting parts of free scribbles and similarly finding the visual messages that are hidden inside. These are easy processes that involve no particular skill or previous experience, and all materials are provided. Fee: $40 prepaid/$45 day of workshop.

NEW VIEW FINDING: WORKING WITH THE POWER OF IMAGES
Sunday, July 7, 2019, 12:30-5 pm, Madison
This experiential workshop is about gaining greater access to our own visual symbols and inner wisdom. We frame our reality by the way we look—i.e., through the viewfinders we habitually use. Here, we open to new possibilities of seeing, and expanding our inner and outer vision. We explore the power of images and how they affect us, and play with ways of reframing. We use a variety of fun and easy exercises, such as quick sketching/soul doodles; experimenting with the viewfinder of a phone or digital camera and using free photo apps to further alter the images and create new “realities”; and playing with pre-printed images, putting them together in ways that feel right, then letting them “speak.”
Suitable for everyone. No particular skill or experience is required—just a willingness to explore and discover. Participants should bring a smart phone with a camera or a separate digital camera, but no other supplies are needed. Fee: $40 prepaid/$45 day of workshop.

CULTIVATING WONDER
Saturday, Oct. 5, 1-5 pm, Madison
Many have heard the adage, “what we pay attention to, thrives.” What if we paid attention to a sense of wonder and amazement, to everyday magic, to the awesomeness that is always present? This workshop is designed to help you energize and cultivate your experience of wonder and amazement. (Fittingly, it is taking place during what are called “the Days of Awe” on the Jewish calendar.) You will come away smiling, able to look through new eyes at everything you encounter.
You need only bring a willingness to be wonderstruck—to experience a magic sense of possibility and discovery and a rebirth of wonder. We will play with simple exercises (e.g., taking a wonder walk, writing an awe story, using a digital [e.g., phone] camera to frame new ways of seeing), and perhaps experimenting with oil pastels and colorful scarves to free the hand and spirit). No special skills are required. Fee: $35 prepaid/$40 day of workshop.

Collage That Speaks
Friday, August 23, 2019, 9am-4:30pm Shake Rag Alley School of the Arts, Mineral Point, Wisconsin
Expressing an Inner Voice Through Creative Play
In this workshop you will have a chance to “play with pictures” – select and cut out a wide range of printed, e.g., magazine, images and arrange them as your intuition guides you. This is an easy, satisfying, and fun cut-and-paste process that you can’t do wrong – no particular skill or experience is required. Once the collage is complete, you will discover what your intuitive process actually was “saying” to you. Be willing to explore a new modality and be surprised by the playful and profound inner voice that may start speaking! Students will bring basic cut-and-paste materials, but Beverly will supply a vast, exciting, and unusual collection of images to choose from.
Nature Spirits: Embodied Totemic Figures
Saturday, August 24, 2019, 9am-4:30pm Shake Rag Alley School of the Arts, Mineral Point, Wisconsin
If you are drawn to natural elements such as driftwood, bones, and pods, and are intrigued by the aliveness and character of their distinctive forms, you may wish to combine them into embodied, totemic figures. In this workshop you will create (non-realistic) three-dimensional “characters” using simple assemblage techniques. You will be inspired with a myriad of ideas and possibilities, and then brainstorm together to find ways to bring your figures to life. Each character will not only be unique, but will gift you with its own individual spirit.
STEPPING INTO THE WISDOM OF TREES:
April 4 2019 · 10:00am – 2:30pm, Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, FLorida
