Welcome to Second Star Life!
There are things that happen in life that shake our world so fiercely that we come out the other side wondering which way is up. We have people who try to help us dry our wings and fly again like friends, family, support groups, therapists, and even online groups…but sometimes we also need something else. We need a way to reach in and pull out our figurative guts so we can examen them and find out what we are working with. One of the things we often find missing is a connection to our creative self.
Each of us is a creative being. The crayons may disappear from our desks after kindergarten to force us to focus on other things society deems valuable, but it’s only a matter of remembering that we are creative and unlearning that we are not. Making art can help us access parts of ourselves that have been buried for years by trauma, abuse, change, or even just life.
Everything at Second Star Life is designed as a tool for self-exploration and self-discovery. You may be processing some changes in your life or you may simply want to reconnect with your creative self. Building a new creative outlook on life, from this day forward, can be done simply by re-engaging with art. Art journaling techniques are a wonderful and approachable way back in. So join me in creating your Second Star Life with paint, pens, paper, and anything else we can find.
Oh, and a little side note: Every one of my art experiences can be done by an absolute beginner, or a seasoned artist. You may have been led to believe that you are not “arty” or “an artist” but, trust me, you ARE creative. I can help you remember. You’ll see!
