Goals of the group

The goal of the group is to reclaim art as a language of expression for your feelings. As kids, all of us used art to show love, to release anger, to express grief, gratitude and everything in between. Somewhere growing up we loose touch with this beautiful tool. The sessions are designed to get in touch with your artiste and allow it to be the narrator of your feelings. Basically a feel good art/heart experience.

Who is it for?

This group is for anyone and everyone who wants to be in touch with their feelings but want to be it a little more colorful & experimental with it.

This group is especailly more suited to folks who like to explore new ways of expression, who like hearing multiple perspectives and stories. And if you love metaphors, then you're in for a real treat.

Glimpse of the regime

Session 1: I am not an Artist

• Breaking ice with our body, the group & the idea of art.
• Letting go off the idea - "I can't make art" or "I am not an artist."
• Exploratory drills to get a taste of art journaling.

Session 2: From dots to doodles

• Small format drills to explore different emotions.
• Using dots, lines, shapes & colors to experiment with expression.
• Processing a small prompt using styles from the drills.

Session 3: Tapping into your Feeling via Metaphors

• Exploring verbal & visual metaphors for expression.
• Processing an in-depth prompt to experience the magic of art journalling.
• Experiencing guided meditation.

Session 4: Matching Intent & Inspiration | Habit Building

• Going from 1 prompt to making art journaling as a tool for self care.
• Seeking inspiration & designing your prompts.
• Art/Heart Graduation ceremony

  • Vibes Don't Lie and Mola is a Vibe. Journaling with Mola is like drawing your life on a piece of paper with the help of colours.

  • The very first word that came to my mind after the first 2 days was “soulful” and it hadn’t changed till the very last day.

    Muskaan

    (she/her)

  • I've had trouble connecting with myself and expressing myself for a long time. This course helped me open up, gave me a space to talk freely and left me with a medium of expression I hadn't considered before.
