It seems to be a month of giveaways round these parts! This week it’s all about Spectrum, the online Holistic-Creative workshop series organised by lovely Hali Karla. Hali invited me to be a guest teacher this year and I’m so delighted to be part of something so richly creative.
Spectrum 2016 will be guided by 20 new teachers and more than 20 returning contributors offering a variety of workshops, inspiration and invitations – all intended to empower, nurture and celebrate your innate creative expression, healing journey, and personal development! {All the things!}
There will be:
- weekly inspiration & reflective activities related to mixed-media art-making and journaling
- guidance on integrating your creative process and holistic awareness into your day-to-day life
- a variety of opportunities to connect, support and share with others in the growing Holistic-Creative online community.
The themes that will loosely guide our 2016 Spectrum experience are Forgiveness, Shifting Perspective, Navigating Uncertainty, Integration, Alchemy, Connecting with Nature, Honouring Body, Trusting Joy, and Expressing One’s Truth! You can expect a variety of perspectives on these – and so much more.
To learn more about the details, including all of the contributors and workshop offerings for this course CLICK RIGHT HERE.
I am currently in the throes of creating my Spectrum workshop – it’s called Calm from Chaos, and focuses on the Shifting Perspective theme as a way to disentangle from the often hectic pace of daily life through making art. It’s an idea I had when Hali first asked me to contribute, and I think it really is one of my better ones, so I’m very much looking forward to sharing it with you if you decide to join us!
Pre-registration for Spectrum 2016 officially opens on February 1, 2016 (and the program will begin on May 2). So you might want to bookmark this page (or link) so you can check back to see if you win the giveaway here, or sign up as soon as it goes on sale. {If you do win I’ll email you to let you know, so make sure you leave your email!}

Me!
Enjoy the blog hop, good luck on the giveaways, and I hope to see you in Spectrum in a few months!
I really only wanted to satisfy my curiosity when I took advantage of your offer to take this mini-course. The second lesson just exploded in my head, paragraph after paragraph. I am excited and have been moving in baby steps and these are really getting me somewhere. I never anticipated anything like this. As it happens, I will be leaving home for an extended visit to the USA (until April 12). However, I do have art supplies in the place I rent in NY, and will be keeping up with your lessons throughout my stay there. You are offering so much and I get that your generosity rests on the confidence you have that once a student gets involved in your teaching, they will not give up . So thank you, and I can’t wait for more.
PS. The very pale blue of some of your text is very hard for me to read
Looks very appealing and just what I’m looking for in 2016.
Great chance to win – Thank you – I would be happy to win!

This sounds amazing, especially the Name “Calm from Chaos”, my social media name is “Cahos’ Chaos”. Fits perfectly, would be awesome to win a spot. Thank you for the chance. Good luck everyone.
So looking forward to Spectrum!
Thanks for this opportunity! Shared on twitter… hoping to celebrate my 40th birthday (Feb 2nd) with one of the give-away spots. 🙂 Ready to let my spirit carry me and this sounds like a wonderful way to help nurture and get in tune with that. Blessings, Julia — Oh and forgot email address when just posted so hit back to add it: lovingrd@yahoo.com Thanks! 🙂
I am keeping my fingers crosses. I know Spectrum is an amazing opportunity for creative seld expression. I so rarely take time for myself. Time to play, explore my creativity or commit to my self care practices. I have taken the Spectrum workshop two times and each time it has opened a whole new world for me. A space for self healing and self exploration – to nourish my mind, body and soul. I have healed so deeply from the various forms of breath work, meditation, permission to splatter paint on paper, non-judging whispers, and all of the encouraging and growth provoking messages from each and every contributor. I would be so honored and appreciative to win a spot in the next spectrum. Thank you from my heart and soul.
Hi Tara! I shared on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/shamhat1872/art-mixed-media-related-giveaways/ My email is mrsjyoungwg (at) gmail (dot com)

Oh it does look interesting. I have been looking around for workshops – my Access course finishes in May and then I have deferred my uni place till next year because my youngest just started half days nursery so have been wondering how to keep the same level of creativity up till then. (I am a terrible procrastinator)
Thanks for the chance Tara. Will share via the first 4 of those options above 🙂
