We live in a very promising time. It is also a very challenging time. At least that’s how it looks like to us humans. It’s a time when the human spirit is triumphing and books are being rewritten. Love, sharing & the healing of our fellow man is becoming what is normal. The other side of this coin is a reality full of people who are hurting - who are hurting other people who are hurting. It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual and that manifests physically as war, …

It is the Shambhala view that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence. This nature can be cultivated through meditation, following ancient principles, and it can be further developed in daily life, so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. In the course of our lives, this goodness, warmth and intelligence can easily become covered over by doubt, fear and egotism. We tend to fall into a kind of sleep or stupor, believing in the cond …

Who are we? We are a group of crafty people that like to craft together and share ideas, it's that simple. We are not Direct Sales Consultants who have classes at our Meetup to promote sales. Why did we start this Meetup? There are very few crafty stores in our area that can hold a group of crafters and still have room for our supplies AND not be crowded. We simply wanted to craft with other like-minded people, NOT be cramped and not have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to another town. We have a …

As a Certified Expressive Arts Practitioner, I would like to offer my knowledge and experience to local professionals that are already trained and serving in helping occupations. We live in a changing world where people are accustomed to the fast pace of life and don’t have time or the inclination to process feelings as they arise. Instead, these feelings become buried under a mountain of addictions and other distractions. It is true, this pattern of behavior has always existed but it seems more …

I know as a Massage Therapist that we carry our stress within our bodies affecting us physically. After taking The Artist's Way workshop it really helped me to destress and connect with others. The Artist's Way is about decluttering your mind, spirit, and home. It is about remembering the artist within that we were all born with. We will not be painting, drawing or writing during class but if that is your passion or hidden talent then we encourage you to do so. Julia Cameron wrote the book 20 ye …

This is a group for anyone interested in getting together once a month or even weekly, to work on our art journals, sharing supplies, techniques, ideas, swapping collage items, and maybe sometimes just working together quietly. Art journaling is a therapeutic activity. We can meet at my house, or at a restaurant in Rowlett (who only requires that we eat there.) Or we can take turns hosting. Group should probably be limited to a dozen people per meet-up.

This is a group for anyone interested in releasing his/her potential through painting (no prior experience necessary).

I am providing a safe environment free from judgment while providing plenty of encouragment, which enables one to explore, through painting, their artist …
