\"Story<\/a><\/p>\n

I developed a technique called Story Art that combines journaling practice, meditation, and creativity to help people to free themselves from difficult situations.<\/p>\n

The writing helps to take the issue out of your head space and onto paper. The Story Art method adds another dimension that helps to transform it further.<\/p>\n

One participant in a workshop found the technique so helpful she planned to wallpaper her entire office with it! Each sheet of paper represented another issue that she was able to let go of.<\/p>\n

We will be using the Story Art method in my Kripalu workshop: Mindfulness A-Z: Liberating Regret, Stuckness, and Perfectionism. We will be getting underway in just over a week! The workshop start Sunday, 4 August at 7:30 PM and goes through till Friday. There is still time to register here now:<\/p>\n

We will have the opportunity to delve into quiet, contemplation, and hold a space where you can release the grip of painful stories.<\/p>\n

I hope you can join us.<\/p>\n
