What’s it all about? Collage is the art of arranging existing images in combination with other elements (wallpaper or text such as newspaper) to create a composite work of art. It can add depth and interest or be used to tell a story. It has been used for hundreds of years and made a resurgence in the early 20th Century when Braque & Picasso helped make it a distinctive part of modern art. What will we cover? In this class we will learn to create a beautiful and unique collage from magazine images, your own photos and coloured paper. Learn how to compose an image and select visuals to create a narrative or just simply play with colour and shape! You will each create a unique collage to take home and frame. Coloured paper and some magazine provided. There will be heaps of magazines, but you may also like to bring your own selected images and ideas along too to save time. Who will be teaching?

Generally, most of us live with high stress, busy schedules, and we’re disconnected from ourselves and our bodies. Our mind runs the show. This affects our relationships, sexuality, creativity, and sense of self in the world.

Tantra provides a perfect antidote. It is essentially mindful sexuality. Tantra help us to anchor in the present moment, when we are fully present we open new pathways for pleasure and ecstasy. Sex is not seen as shameful, but as a way to connect on a deeper level with someone else and yourself.
