In a way that is really mysterious, making art reveals the workings of the soul. And even encourages it. Somehow, art making really is a medicine. And we all know, intuitively and without training, how to mix our own medicine. How to minister to ourselves. How to move, sound, shake, make a straight line or a curved one, choose red paint or green paint - all according to the specific needs of our specific souls in each specific moment in time. We are soul artists, experts in the needs of our own vast beings. The Art of You Studio is a place for your to mix your own soul elixirs. It never has been about "art," really. Thank you all for your adventurous work here at the studio. For delving in with such passionate curiosity, and bringing possibility to the world again and again. You are artists of awareness. I'm in awe every time we meet.

"I cannot express how much respect and love I have for Chris and the studio.  Three years ago at the studio, I started processes within me that continue to this day.  And I am so much happier! The studio is a sacred place." --- Susan

The field of "Expressive Arts" uses any and all kinds of creative arts to help people shift. Painting, dancing, sound, music, clay, sand tray, collage, drama - any kind of creative expression! Anything that engages the imagination so that something new can come in.  I personally think that the multidimensionality of art connects us to our own breadth, depth, and vastness.  It connects us to the vast "Something Bigger," and connects us to our Larger Selves. 

You don't have to know a thing about art to have it "work" for you.  Expressive Arts is about process,  exploration and curiosity.  It's about giving ALL of you (not just your logical, thinking brain) a chance to talk to you through color, shape, texture, sound and more, more, more!  Following your inner impulses and giving them voice through these multidimensional languages creates shift!  New perspective!  New choices!  New awarenesses.  And it's pretty darn fun too!
