Unleashed Alchemy

Unleashed Alchemy

In this 2 hour workshop, you will learn and embody methods you can easily adapt to your daily life for more ease and greater bodily awareness.

Join a small group for a self-love, body positive art experience guided by Melissa Vlahos. Unleashed Alchemy combines therapeutic art and somatic elements by understanding, identifying, embodying and Unleashing emotions as energetic feelings, sounds or colors in the body. Participants have the opportunity to enliven this relational experience by using self-applied body paint as a tangible means of expression.

Stagnation is a woman's kryptonite; movement and expression are our superpowers! Access new ways of living as your highest self. With expressive movement we gain access to higher, healthier states of being; we become empowered in our connection to self; we create greater clarity and awareness of what is yearning to be Unleashed.
