Touch Drawing Weekend Retreat
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Paper is placed over a piece of inked Plexiglas, and wherever the paper is touched, an imprint is made. Impulses from within you take form on the paper, building through the movements of your fingertips. This intuitive, meditative process will take you on a journey deep within yourself.
Workshop Format
Join us for a soul enriching weekend of meditative personal expression. You will create multiple touch drawings throughout this weekend of soulful play. The repetition of rolling out the paint, placing the paper on the glass, moving to the rhythms of your heart and revealing each new emergent drawing, helps you journey to a place of deep calm. The images will speak to you of what has heart and meaning while the community of the group holds you in a compassionate, creative container. Weather permitting, we can walk down the street to Lake Champlain to eat our lunches and enjoy a touch drawing session in Nature!
You will be supported by Touch Drawing practitioner and facilitator, Topaz Weis, who will teach you the basics of Touch Drawing, while leading you in guided meditations, gentle movement processes, reflective writing and group sharing. There will be a mix of live and recorded music to assist your inspiration. No artistic expertise or experience is required.
By the end of the weekend you will have a generous pile of raw material touch drawings and at least 2 finished works mounted on canvas.
All materials provided. You are welcome to bring extra canvases if you would like to mount more than 2 touch drawings.
