TAP YOUR TRUTH
My mission is to honor your creative well-spring, to encourage you to believe that it is sacred, to help you experience it as your best resource, and to then provide you with tools to share the gifts that will rise forth as a result.

Advent Dark Journal
DECEMBER 1, 2024 - JANUARY 6, 2025
Online and in your home
Push back on the pressure to perform the holidays in picture perfect ways by sprinkling your days with creative gestures designed to inspire and comfort.
What if your holiday season felt sheltered?
Who would you be during the holiday season if you knew you had an oasis to return to, a place where you refuel?
Enrollment for Advent Dark Journal will begin on October 15, 2024. The workshop runs from Sunday, December 1, 2024 through January 6, 2025. An introductory event about Advent Dark Journal will take place in late October. Watch this space to register and learn more.
Advent Dark Journal gave me permission, in a sense, to pause more deeply. To lean into the artist of my soul. I am so deeply grateful for you. For your wisdom, for your warmth, for the fierceness of your soul, for your devotion, for all the ways you share your light.
Thank you so very much.
Love and gratitude,
CHARLYN
The workshop costs $310. This includes 6 weeks of lessons posted on the Kajabi learning platform & community sharing within that learning space. Expect to be inspired by poems, a weekly centering meditation, and small art projects.
A luscious package of carefully curated art supplies for three small book forms, collage, and rituals. Each package contains 6 envelopes of treasures to be opened in concert with the weekly lesson release. The package also contains contributions from a delectable group of artists.
A guide for materials you will need to gather will be sent upon registration. Simple art supplies with a few special items are all that are required.
This workshop follows the Moon and the tides of nature as winter comes to the Northern Hemisphere. It is not connected to any religious practice. Intended for people ages 16 years on up.
Advent Dark Journal is a way to navigate the holiday season to find your own sense of the sacred.
Thank you so much for the Community Creativity Session last weekend. I got so much out of it; I can hardly find the words. I find your prompts to be such a great way to enter in to the creative field - your questions for us are so full bodied, grounded, and lead to the unexpected core of things. It means so much to me - thank you!!

BACKYARD ART CAMP
SEPTEMBER 2024
My backyard in Great Barrington, MA!
Backyard Art Camp is an outdoor book art & ritual workshop in the Berkshires
Camp 2024 is in the works. Stay tuned for more information in January 2024.
Link to frequently asked questions is here.
"Camp is sacred, essential, delightful, expansive, generative, meaningful, and such a messy-in-the-paint good time! This was a return to a familiar place, both in the magic that is Hollenbeck, and the familiarity of sisterhood, mudra flow, process, and celebrations with alumni sisterhood. Camp plants seeds in my heart - they root while I make paste paper - then they bloom all year long as I return to what we've created here in my daily practice."

All supplies & printed instructions included in Camp fee. Also includes libations and bug juice.
You cover housing & travel & lunch. Look for rentals/hotels in the Great Barrington, MA area. Closest airports: Albany, NY & Hartford, CT.
Public transportation from the New York City & Boston area is convenient. My home is three blocks from Main Street, Route 7.
This program is for you if you...
- comfortable working outdoors in all weather
- want to nourish your attention and work with your hands-totally no tech situation here
- want to replace the nasty messages you got about how messy or wrong your art making is
- are an established artist seeking to fine tune your skills
- want to explore mixed media techniques, learn about inhabiting a journal, and are willing to play at the intersection of literary and book art.
- yearn for creative community and sanctuary where your creative expression will be valued above all else.
"I would take another class with this instructor in a heartbeat."
