🎨 Discover Yourself Through Art

An Artist-Led, Interactive Art Workshop for Adults
Facilitated by Canadian artist Kathy Poitras

🧠 What It's All About

In this uplifting and expansive 2-hour workshop, participants will explore eight distinct areas of life—from personal growth and relationships and beyond. For each area, teachers will create a visual interpretation using drawing and coloring to reflect how that part of life shows up for them. 
No artistic talent is required—just a willingness to express oneself. This art workshop is about the personal journey, not perfection.

🖼️ What You'll Receive

Each participant will be provided with:
•     A custom 11 x 17-inch template on heavy art paper (created by Kathy Poitras specifically for this workshop)
•     A reference booklet to guide your reflections
•     A variety of coloring tools: crayons, felt pens, and colored pencils will be available for use.

WE WILL COME TO YOU.

Teaching is a profession of deep influence—yet it’s easy for educators to become so focused on others that they forget to reflect on their own lives. This workshop offers a rare opportunity for teaching staff to pause, recharge, and reconnect with the broader dimensions of their personal and professional existence.

As an artist and person living on this crazy planet, Kathy Poitras developed this art exercise to uplift her fellows and help them realize that their sphere of influence is bigger than they may know. Through creative reflection, participants often rediscover their own purpose, passions, and the ripple effect they have on students, colleagues, and communities.

The experience is:
•     Uplifting – reconnect with your inner sense of purpose
•     Expansive – explore life’s deeper dimensions
•     Relaxing – enjoy a peaceful, creative space
•     Fun – no pressure, just expression and color

Whether you're an experienced artist or someone who hasn’t picked up a crayon in years, this workshop is designed to be accessible, meaningful, and deeply affirming for every educator.

This workshop is based on a series of spiritual paintings inspired by Kathy's Buddhist roots and  the concept of the Dynamics of Existence, as described in the books:
•     The Fundamentals of Thought
•     by L. Ron Hubbard

These ideas serve as a foundation for exploring life in a meaningful and creative way.

TESTIMONIALS

"I had an amazing time! This Meetup helped me to realize that sometimes I forget some of my dynamics and I would like to keep them in balance. For sure this exercise made me think a lot!  There is freedom to express myself in this workshop through painting and drawing. "  Mayra

"It was a very good experience.  I am very interested to participate in some workshops in the future.  (Please inform me about future events :)) It was good to express myself with different topics. "  Fatemah

"I felt that I entered the "rabbit hole" in the 2 hours.  It was a brand-new world for me, and incredibly, I was fully devoted to following the instructions and enjoying it so much to express things that popped into my head. I have never done this before. Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity."

"Thank you! Big appreciation for the space and the materials provided.  I wish there was a bit more time to get through the dynamics. Maybe smaller thumbnails?  The size of the paper made it feel necessary for a longer amount of time to fill the page.  Seeing Kathy's paintings was very inspiring. Loved it.  Would happily attend another.  HEART  Suze

"Absolutely wonderful as always, another new way of expression."
