TEMPLE VIRTUAL CLASS SCHEDULE
By January 1 you will receive access to basic introductory videos and recordings. Painting does not begin until January 4. On January 4 we will have opening circle and then on the 5th and 6th we will paint together LIVE or you can watch the recording instantly. Will have two sessions of painting together with Shiloh Sophia and women attending Temple in Sonoma Broadcast LIVE from MUSEA Center for Intentional Creativity.
Additional livestream teachings will be provided in January (see the schedule) by Shiloh Sophia + regular Zoom Connection Circles guided by Havi Mandell. The Connection circles will include a combination of storytelling, sharing, stories and at times painting live.
The idea is that you will get all the primary painting teachings delivered in the first month and then the following two months we dive deeper into the process, relationship with our body and healing and writing and ritual and integration. IF more painting videos are needed, we will add them.
Everything will be recorded for you to participate as it works for you.
