๐ฃ NEW SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT ๐ฃ
๐ฅKazuko Creates Presents๐ฅ
When I first launched Kazuko Creates it was a dream of an offering to simply create the conditions for all people to soften into creativity. To explore, to play, to exist in a space that prioritized non-productive creative play for the sake of remembering our humaness. To paint, write, play music, dance, color a coloring book. To simply witness ourselves in the practice of liberation. These spaces are always free.ย
Then there is the desire to offer resource and learning to those whose bodies crave creation in a way that is still fuzzy in dreams but tangible in physical desire. So, then we must learn, explore, connect. The Kazuko Creates Presents Series is that opportunity. Join artists and makers from all walks of life for an in depth journey into their methods and visions and philosophies on art and life and creation.ย
It's an honor to create with you.ย
Stone to Symbol | An Immersive Experience with Ellen Picken
๐ชจ Stone to Symbol is a three-part immersive experience exploring intuition, creativity, and transformation through the natural world. Guided by artist Ellen Picken and woven with integration practices from Kazuko Wellness, participants will gather, process, and create with materials sourced from the earth.
Through storytelling, reflection, and creative practice, we will explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to listen. Listening to the land. Listening to the materials. Listening to our intuition. Together, we will follow the journey from stone to pigment to expression, honoring creativity as a practice of relationship rather than production.
