Creative Relaxation – new dates coming soon

Click hereWhat is a Creative Relaxation Day?

We all probably know that nothing hinders our creativity more effectively than the fear of making a mistake. What if breath-work and chakra meditation allow you to find a new way of operating? Imagine…

Creativity is simply a way of operating using play. Makes total sense right?

How is it done though, specifically?

In these workshops you will learn through simple and gentle practices. You will be free to experiment and have the most fun. You will also allow yourself to make mistakes. Imagine..

Learn how to freely play again and discover those ‘happy accidents’ that make satisfying, authentic art. No judgement, no emphasis on the outcome, just you, your breath and your own personal relationship with colour.

We use a variety of relaxation tools in our workshops including:

  • Yogic Breath work practices (Pranayama) relax your nervous system. They boost your immune system and help prevent your mind from ‘getting in your way’.
  • Foundation Yoga involves simple sitting and standing postures (Asana). These postures align your posture and allow your natural creative energy to flow freely within your body.
  • d’Oterra Essentail Oils – The use of sensory aids to enhance well-being and mindful practice dates back thousands of years. Neuro-associative conditioning is a process by which you purposefully link a scent, for example, with an emotional state. This technique deepens a sense of relaxation. You will associate this sense with your ‘free to play’ creative self. The oils for each workshop vary. They are carefully chosen to enhance your sense of wellbeing, creativity, and relaxation of body and mind.
  • Learn to paint or create mindfully AND have the most fun with yourself! You will be encouraged to really listen to your body throughout each workshop. Honor what your body wants at any given time. The workshop is structured but you are free to opt in and out of any part at any time.
  • In some workshops, there is space for yoga mats. You can simply sit or lie down. You may take part in a gentle guided yoga practice. This practice is designed to enhance your flow of energy and creativity in all areas of your life.
  • Experience the power of your own creativity. Use proven methods to stop your mind from getting in your way. Learn the basic ‘tips and tricks’. Facilitate that flow in yourself. Do this while learning about whatever materials you are working with at the time.
  • Explore your relationship with colour through guided Chakra Meditations. Allow your body to guide you through your colour journey, leading you home into your authentic self.
  • The All-Inclusive Journey: Unless otherwise specified, everything you will need for your ‘Me Day’ will be provided. This includes all art materials, a yummy vegetarian lunch, and all-day refreshments and treats. You don’t have to think about anything other than arriving. Enjoy yourself and fully let go of the busy hustle and bustle of daily life.

Reviews

Aisling in Co. Galway

“I highly recommend Denise Hogan’s workshops. They are relaxed, enjoyable events that are suitable for everyone (from complete beginners to professional artists). Denise uses a truly unique blend of breathwork and meditation as part of her approach and this enables everyone to enjoy the creative process. The location and setting of the workshops are beautiful and purpose built, they really enhance the overall experience. I always discover wonderful new ways to create when I attend her workshops, they are always positive and inspiring.”

L. O’Neill, Co. Galway (Professional Educator)

“Denise brings an energy to her workshops that inspires personal development, self-care and relaxation – she offers a wonderful way to spend some time with yourself. .”

Kathryn S., Co. Galway

“Truly, Denise has introduced me to an entire new (and better) world. I attend her weekly classes and advanced workshops. From oils, to acrylic ink, to water colours, to abstract- and I have learned so much about myself along the way. (Not to mention it’s a great excuse for some ‘me time’ and an amazing lunch- Denise is also an artist in the kitchen!)”
