In this session on Aura Soma, participants will explore the
meaning of colours, our reactions to them, and the power of colour in our
lives, how colour influences our buying responses, and why our favorite

reflect our being's needs and these will be discussed as they affect the
different levels of our being: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical.
These interactions will explore the many enchanting meanings of colour and

Copper Wire Expression will be a fun experience for either experienced
artists or novices. Using wire as a medium, we will create
three-dimensional "sketches" that can be representational, abstract, or
a flight of fantasy. The main idea will be to express a feeling or
mood. Many find that their work is quite playful. We'll have beads and
some found objects to add. The goal is to have each participant go home
with a finished wire sculpture that is 6-12 inches tall that they can
enjoy and be proud of.

This session will immerse you in the use of music as a
powerful tool to enhance the Creative Problem Solving process. Using

applied to other problem solving opportunities. |

We each have frames through which we typically perceive
our world – ways of observing and making sense of our experience. In this
session, we will try out new frames, modalities through which we will
explore our unconscious inner knowing about our outer world. This is not about
actively looking for answers, but is about allowing our knowing to flow from
within. |
