This digital workshop invites you into a space of self-study through art — a gentle, creative practice of turning inward to explore what lives beneath the surface. Using intuitive digital collage as our medium, we’ll explore subconscious stories and emotional blockages that shape how we connect to ourselves and others.

Through guided prompts and visual exploration, participants will create a self-imagery collage that reveals the unseen patterns, emotions, and truths that words often cannot capture. Each session focuses on a specific theme—one of the mental or emotional blockages that often stand between us and authentic connection.

Together, we’ll use Canva as our digital collaging tool and meet virtually on Google Hangouts, creating a shared but introspective space. This is not about artistic skill—it’s about intuitive creation and emotional witnessing. As you layer images, symbols, and textures, you’ll begin to see your own “growth edge” emerge in visual form.

This practice draws on the disciplines of self-study, self-witnessing, and self-accountability, evolving them into a pathway toward acceptance, healing, and belonging. The process is both personal and communal—an act of being seen by yourself first, and then, if you choose, by others who are walking their own path toward wholeness.

This session explores what it feels like to move through the world with a heavy heart. Maybe it’s hard to find motivation, to reach out, or to believe anyone truly cares. Depression can close the door on joy and make trust feel risky. In our collage, we’ll name the quiet spaces — the emotional numbness, the self-doubt, the fear of closeness — and give them color and form. Through intuitive imagery, we’ll begin to see where the light still lives inside the heaviness, and what parts of ourselves are longing to be reawakened.
