We stand tall, ask for what we need and want, give generously, and shine our light without guilt and without manipulating others. Competitiveness goes out the door, as from a place of fullness, we seek collaboration, and celebrate other’s triumphs and accomplishments.Join us for a four-week journey to embody self-confidence by exploring and harvesting the wisdom of Clarissa Pinkola-Estes’ story of Sealskin, Soulskin. The protagonist of Estes’ story loses her skin and pays a high price to get it back. We can get back what is more precious to us only when we recognize what we have given away through perfectionism, compromises, holding back, self-abuse, and victimhood.We will engage in creative inquiry, somatic movement, guided imagery, and art-making utilizing the methodology of the Tamalpa Life/Art Process. The container for the series highlights our collective wisdom and compassionate witnessing.No previous art experience is necessary.Workshops are for ages 18+ only and disability access is not provided.What prior participants have said:Marialuisa is a gifted and generous facilitator, who guides with a combination of gentleness and passion. She has a special talent for leading people into very personal and sacred places in a way that feels safe and transformative. Her work is always grounded in the physical and emotional realms of embodied learning and the breakthroughs can be life-changing. I have studied with her for years, and every class is a new discovery. - Elaine RoseMarialuisa's work has provided rich nourishment for my mind, body and soul in it's unique blend of theory, practice and spiritual depth. She offered scientific knowledge as a scaffold through which to enter somatic experience, which in turn acted as a gateway into a deeper connection with myself and the mysteries beyond. Her gentle focused presence, attentive listening and heartfelt aesthetic responses created a safe and trusting space despite the limitations of an online connection. - Katy MenellWatch an interview with Marialuisa and follow along with a guided somatic exercise in<a href="https://vimeo.com/721251162?share=copy" title="https://vimeo.com/721251162?share=copy" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> this video</a>.
