Entering Into the World of Light and Darkness: Charcoal Workshop with Pamela Whitman

Saturday, June 20, 2026 | 9am-3pm

Cost: $175

Working with the soft and malleable medium of charcoal provides us with a unique, artistic experience. It allows us to become sensitive and creative within the realm of light and darkness, bringing depth, form, and direction to their interplay. This is a special aspect of Anthroposophic artistic therapy and an essential tool that supports the process of the incarnation of our spirit into our earthly body. Through charcoal work, we learn to bridge between these polar opposites and to experience how they can work together in the process of transformation and integration. Through working on our pictures, we work on ourselves. We can find a breathing connection as we explore the appropriateness of different kinds of boundaries.

This workshop is an opportunity to deepen our understanding and experience of light and darkness and explore the possibilities for the use of its healing effects. It is a valuable activity to bring into the turbulent years of the mid-teens through adulthood.
