    Description:

    Step into the vibrant hues of early autumn with “Voice of the Canvas: Obatala’s Breath & Brush,” an integral part of our Empowering Easel Series. This unique workshop is a celebration of the Throat Energy Center, Obatala, blending the ancient wisdom of Afrivedic™ practices with the expressive power of art. Designed for those seeking to find their authentic voice and express it creatively, this workshop is a journey into the heart of communication and self-expression.

    🍂 Embrace Early Autumn’s Gift of Expression

    As the leaves begin to turn, so does our focus to the Throat Energy Center, Obatala, symbolizing clear and honest communication. Early autumn is the perfect time to unlock your expressive potential and find new ways to articulate your inner truth.

    🌀 Kundalini Breathwork: Unlock Your Vocal Power

    Begin your journey with a transformative Kundalini Breathwork session. This powerful practice involves sound and mantra meditation, resonating deeply with Obatala. Through specific breathing techniques and the use of sacred sounds, you’ll activate and balance your throat chakra, enhancing your ability to communicate clearly and authentically.

    📓 Journaling and Discussion: Articulate Your Inner World

    Following the breathwork, engage in reflective journaling and meaningful discussions. This is an opportunity to translate your newfound clarity into words, sharing your experiences and insights with others. In this communal space, witness the power of spoken truth and the shared resonance of authentic expression.

    🎨 Painting: Visualize Your Voice

    Transitioning from words to visuals, the workshop then guides you into a painting session. Here, let your voice take shape on the canvas, expressing your thoughts and feelings in vibrant colors and forms. This creative process is not just about painting; it’s about visualizing your voice, making your internal dialogue visible and tangible.

    🍵 Herbal Tea: Skin Deep
