A 12-week program beginning early September Time TBD, Porte Maillot Course fee, €360 This workshop is offered for those looking to reconnect with that inner creative voice that is yours alone -- that playful and slightly wild child within that may have been overlooked, forgotten, ignored, devalued, rejected, or even sometimes overtly shut down. Using Jill Cameron's classic guide, The Artist's Way , combined with over 30 years of experience interfacing with my own creative self, along with my approach to  identifying and reconnecting to our own ‘right paths’ ( dharma ), we will meet once-a-week for 12 weeks. This course will require daily engagement and weekly exploration outside of our workshop time, along with access to Jill Cameron's The Artist's Way .

© Ann Moradian Saturday, September 22, 2018 Time & Location TBA (3 hour) Pay as you can, suggested €20-60 This work is based on traditional Integral Yoga, and incorporates elements of dance, somatics, the martial and energy arts, systems thinking and yoga philosophy.

For those of you studying with Ann for any amount of time, you may recognise that this is an experiential continuation focused on self-study ( svadhyaya ). As Nannette Bertschy once said (and I am paraphrasing and probably also re-phrasing), knowing who and how you are, in your full-bodied being, is the first step to knowing where you are -- orienting -...
