Drawing as a Sacred Activity: Simple Steps to Explore Your Feelings and Heal Your Consciousness

A unique step-by-step approach to personal development and satisfaction that uses the medium of drawing to learn about ourselves

In our materialistic society, many people are not encouraged to embrace their creativity. So they quietly shut down that part of their inner lives. Even people who learn to embrace their creativity may find themselves blocked by past emotions. Heather Williams has developed playful yet profound exercises to teach not only the technical but also the emotional skills that artists and nonartists alike need to create and heal their lives. Throughout, Williams’s gentle, fun, and compassionate guidance extends an invitation to see ourselves and our world with new eyes and an open heart.

Explore three different approaches to drawing in this book:

• See and draw the world around you
• Explore and draw the world of memories, emotions, and dreams within you
• Access your intuition and draw out its guidance
