The planning for Shadybrook's April retreat is progressing, and an interesting variety of mini workshops will be presented, including Imagination Arts.
Conversations with people I have recently met in the business and healthcare arenas have increased my excitement (if that is possible) about presenting this program in all areas: corporate, wellness, education, rehabilitation and entertainment. Their reactions to the concept and purpose of Imagination Arts are all positive.

Imagination Arts Games!
I have just sent in a proposal describing a mini-workshop for the Spring Retreat to be held by Shadybrook May 4-6, 2007 at St. Joseph Christian Life Center, Euclid, OH. This is the second year of providing a means for the many talents of Shadybrook members to be shared with other members and the public at large. Last year's program included Reiki, Chi Gong, Vipassana meditation, Movement Therapy, massage, musical entertainment, yoga, and explorative art ... all presented by various members of Shadybrook. Here is the description of what I propose for this year's retreat. The theme is Healing Head, Heart, and Community.
"Lighten up" ..."Stop and Smell the Roses" ... "Chill"
These are all sayings telling us we are too serious about life and are missing the good stuff.
Imagination Arts :Games! presents a series of just-for-fun exercises that utilize proven art instruction techniques ... not for the serious business of making art, but for the fun of having a new experience. The program is actually entertainment with audience participation and the audience is the star attraction. Program presenter Kristen Boyesen orchestrates the event with music, commentary, fast-paced 'scene changes', and lots of energetic encouragement.
Ten interactive drawing games are presented one after the other. Each has its own color, pace, flavor, and tricks. The tricks create the fun. No one knows what to expect, but whatever it is, everyone is in it together, so must "go with the flow".
The program awakens and utilizes the drawing skills of the right side of the brain. Everyone has these skills, but many are dissuaded from drawing-for-real because "fear of failure" emanates from the self-critical left side of the brain. These games are not for drawing-for-real. The left side of the brain must take a break while all of this is going on, as it is not in its job description!
Imagination Arts :Games! creates group synergy, relieves stress, and promotes inner peace ... all good ways for Healing Head, Heart, and Community.
