Guided Art Journeys
Gift yourself permission to be guided into non-judgmental creative flow with words and pigment on paper.
Get Into Your Creative Flow
A Guided Art Journey is a lovely way to spend an hour. Lauren takes you on a relaxation exercise to help you become present, then leads you on a guided journey to meet your wise inner self. You then are given a prompt that will inspire you to put words and pigment on paper.
This activity effortlessly drops you into a creative state. You will have fun and gain insight as you engage in self expression!
The virtual meeting is a safe and non-judgmental container where you can explore your imagination and get to know yourself better.
You’ll come away with a private message and a painting that offers a somatic memory of how it felt to be wise and confident whenever you look at it.
Prerequisite: A willingness to relax and an open mind to free your imagination and be a perfectly imperfect human being.
Materials needed: Any colored pigment will do, crayons, markers, pastels, water colors. A pen and paper. Email me with any questions on what to purchase. Painterdancer@gmail.com
No previous art experience necessary!

“Lauren's guided art journey was the perfect way to begin my retirement in 2021 after teaching 24 years. One of my personal goals is to reconnect with my old creative self from my 20's and rekindle it in my 60's. Lauren's guided art journey and meditation was the right path I needed to help me reopen that creative flow through her safe and nurturing guidance. After starting with one to two-minute paintings to explore, experiment, and get comfortable, Lauren lead us through a 20-minute meditation and journey starting with the prompt, "What is it that you need to know now?" From the start, Lauren's meditation felt safe and comfortable as she helped you freely explore and open up to your creative, nonjudgmental self. She then gently lead you to writing and painting about your inner experiences. Lauren is a truly gifted teacher who is dedicated to helping others connect with their own creative energies and souls. She helped me gain the confidence that I needed to move forward with my own creative projects during my retirement. Lauren is truly that special teacher who knows how to help you build confidence and connect with your creative self. Lauren's art journey was a visionary and special treat! I'm so grateful that I took the time to experience it, and I wouldn't hesitate to participate in another!
I hope my testament is helpful to you if you choose to use it. Wishing you a lovely day, Lauren! Thanks again for sharing your wonderful gifts and making the world a better place for us all!
Hugs and friendship,”

"Lauren's Guided Art Journey was a revelation and a delight for me! I loved the visualizations and being guided to paint quickly and from intuition. I was surprised at what flowed out of me and feel that some real insights came through. It was so much fun and now I am eager to try painting some more! Her enthusiasm, wisdom and talent make this a wonderful experience - can't wait to do it again."

"Lauren, Painter/Dancer provided me with a transformative enchanting experience using guided meditation and free hand expression to bring forth unconscious resources that represented the resilience that’s instinctive to my nature…. that I had forgotten. I also felt this experience viscerally and it reminded me of my connection with nature it’s restorative impact in my life, particularly more recently.”

"As a busy woman juggling career and personal life, it was a special gift to take a creative journey guided by Lauren. With her permission and guidance, I was able to quiet my mind and look within, in a safe and nurturing space. Many insights came up that resonated deeply with my feelings about who and where I am in my life's journey. The guided meditation freed my spirit so I was able to engage with watercolors in a fun and expressive way. In the midst of the experience, I found myself grinning from ear to ear, from the sheer joy of letting go in the safety and intimacy of Lauren's guidance. I can’t recommend Lauren’s workshop enough if you are open to a deeply personal creative journey."
