Neo-Selfie: An Expressive Self-Portrait Workshop

Date and Time: Thursdays 7 PM - 9 PM

Location: Electric Sunshine Co. 1425 Bloor St W, Unit 202, Toronto, ON M6P 3L6

Consider this a date night with yourself. This expressive art workshop is a gift of presence; a moment to check in with yourself, drop into your senses, and appreciate the contours of your being. It’s a time to play and explore, allowing yourself to be fully rooted in the present moment.

‘Neo-Selfie’ isn’t just a workshop or class, it’s a ritual. If you are looking to unwind and reconnect with yourself, this bi-weekly offering is perfect for you. Blending guided meditation with intuitive art-making, you’ll be led through technical skills, reflection prompts, as well as given the space for experimentation and free-flow play. No previous visual art experience required, all materials provided!

Workshop Flow

🌞 Phase One: In the Light

The first hour of class begins in candlelight and the soft glow of golden hour. This is your time to gently arrive—to land in your body, soften into presence, and see yourself with fresh eyes.

As you take in the curves of your face, the shape of your lips, and the light in your eyes, you’ll also be guided through foundational art techniques. We’ll explore key elements like shape, line work, shading, and style.

🌑 Phase Two: Night Vision

The second hour of class shifts into a more internal space. In Ultra Violet light, you’ll be taking a journey into the unseen. During this portion, you’ll be invited to play with neon paint, patterns, and designs—bringing your inner world into form in vibrant, glowing color. This is less about capturing a likeness, and more about expressing essence: emotion, energy, memory, and imagination.
