~ages 16 to 100

The Huichol Indians, whose pre-Hispanic culture still survives in the remote Sierra Madres ranges, live a life woven of magic and sacred mythology. Believing themselves to be that part of creation which entertains the Gods, Huichols are sustained by their earthly representatives - corn, peyote and the deer - thus symbolically renewing their divinity daily. We will explore the art of these creative people and try their technique for ourselves.

No artistic experience necessary!

Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. The technique involves moving your hands on paper that is over a surface of wet paint.  The resulting impressions are seen upon lifting the page. In drawing without tools, it feels as if lines come directly from your fingertips.  Multiple drawings are created in one session, and each takes you deeper into your self. The completed series is a visual record of your transformation.  Touch Drawing has endless applications as a tool for therapy, creativity, and spiritual awareness.
