Becoming - A Look Back

This was posted at our original OWG website in November ‘23

Since our Lynne Brown began her free series of workshops I have felt myself becoming. After class, many of us hang out to chat about what came up and out during the journaling sessions.

Today after class long-time member Linda, newcomer Becca & myself talked about discovering The Artist Way, art we are currently working on, and what we’d like to do in the near future.

Becca mentioned collage, and I talked about a breakthrough Soul Collage experience I had thanks to Linda’s skills as a Soul Collage facilitator.

Becca had this to say about her first workshop with Lynne today: 

I enjoyed the Journaling, Part 2 class which was my first attendance.  Per Lynne Brown's suggestion, dialoguing with myself with regards to my "stuff" was very helpful.  My stuff were the physical limitations of my body and my lack of motivation.  I actually heard messages that I would not have been aware until I dialogued with myself.  Simple messages such as getting out in nature more.  Little acts such as listening to the birds, and being more aware of my needs in any given moment--the need to rest, to walk, to listen to nature, and to enjoy each moment.  Self care, self love, community, family, friends are all a part of this process. Relax, renew and enjoy.  

I stayed for the discussion after the class, and was thankful for the warm welcome and the camaraderie.  

Thank you for the invitation.

Linda, who has attended the entire series wrote:

Taking a class with Lynne is like reaching into my inner well. I never know what will come up. I have almost filled a large sketchbook with tasks from her group.

Can’t wait to fill it all up!
