Sis, You’re Defensive

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 examines the armor we’ve built to survive — the walls, the distance, the mistrust that once kept us safe but now keeps us separate. Being defensive can feel like control, but it’s often fear dressed as strength. Through intuitive collage, we’ll explore what protection looks like and what vulnerability could look like instead. We’ll visualize what it means to lower the guard just enough to let softness return, to allow love and understanding to reach us again.
