Join artist Andrea Chebeleu and I, as we immerse ourselves in paint and ink and marks to refresh our weary souls over a delight filled Saturday evening and Sunday. You will come away revitalized with painty hands and happy hearts.
Specially curated supply kits will excite your creative spirit and inspire new levels of creative expression. Julie and Andrea have extensive practice not only with the tools and materials of Mixed Media art journaling but with the techniques and instruction as well.
The Juicy Soul Retreat was born in 2012 and has made a re-appearance as an on-line retreat in 2020.
What we will explore:
Juicy Journaling Techniques
Big inspiration and wonderful art supplies...What could be more fun! You will learn some amazing techniques to turn flat blank journals in to juicy journals for your words, poetry, collage, photos, lists, mantras, ideas, songs, prayers, intentions, stories, notes, and dreams.
Living in Your Journals:
Spilling open and celebrating your life through journaling
In this part of the retreat you will discover the wonderful world of fonts, journal page frames, images and story windows. You will be guided through the journaling process to begin to design a focus for your journal. You will explore the variety of tools available to you to support you in journaling your ideas, dreams, victories, stories, experiences when the creative muse appears in your path. We will explore the variety of fonts, letters and methods of capturing words on a page. We will also give you a chance to journal with the assistance of journaling prompts and ideas for topics to explore in your pages.
Juicy Journaling Studio
Self Guided time to experiment and play
In this part of the retreat you will have all the basic techniques and you will be ready to combine and layer techniques to express yourself creatively. We will act as muses for your creative process by supporting you in your creativity. You'll spend time in community continuing to turn your flat blank journals in to juicy journals for your words, poetry, collage, photos, lists, mantras, ideas, songs, prayers, intentions, stories, notes, and dreams. This is your time to use all the techniques you've learned to create your journal, experiment with colors and try different supplies.
