Processing Beauty & Grief via Intuitive Collage & Journaling

This video examines the process and result of a mindfulness exercise using the creative process that I use in my Brave Art & Creative Wellness workshops.

I am facilitating a FREE Brave Art Community Workshop very soon! Click here for the details and to save your spot in the workshop: www.jackieschomburg.com/workshops
******************************
Process art is the act of creating art and staying focused on the process itself (versus the outcome of the painting or drawing). Creating art focused on intuitive choices of color, shape, and movement keeps me present and attuned to what is happening right now - not ruminating on the past or anxious about the future. It is a simple, accessible way to promote positive mental health, lower anxiety, and ease depression. Besides the self care aspects, it's also a fun way to create with zero pressure to perform. The act of creating is the goal. If it turns out beautiful too, it's the cherry on top.
Have you tried this exercise before? Let me know in the comments!

    I can only speak for myself, but when watching your videos there is never any judgement about the neatness of your desk. If it's tidy or messy, who cares?! You do you. ❤ Put down that burden of judgement, you have enough actual weights to deal with. That isn't one of them. Be kind to yourself, as you would to your friend.

    Thank you for sharing Jackie. I was so sorry to miss the end of our group's last session. For a while I still had sound, even with frozen screen, but even that gave out. Thank you for your care, openness, honesty, and the space you create for us to share and connect.

    Art is so very subjective and can be so cathartic.

    I did a lot of this sort of thing when I had to put my beautiful dog, Gabriel, down last year, and King Shepherd Art Studio was created in his memory.

    There exists poetry in your witness writing. (Perhaps a book of the images and the witness writing as a piece of art(?)!!!) The outcome(s) of your sessions for both you and others are a narrative of a life well lived, the good and the not-so-good, examined in the moment and as a result, a point of reflection for others who witness it -- a message that might be challenging for the viewer to solidify in the moment, one that can bring acknowledgment to the chaos surrounding us, by creating an anchor however fleeting. Be well! ❤❤❤ Thank you again for sharing.
