Put some fun and self-discovery into your week! Beginning April 17, Judy Balian will be hosting a series of drop-in expressive arts classes on Friday afternoons. Expressive arts uses movement, sound, visual arts, writing and psychodrama to foster self-expression, insight, and creativity. Expressive arts is not about creating a beautiful picture, choreographing a dance for the stage or writing the next great novel. It is simply a way of expressing yourself using different media which can lead you to greater awareness and connection, often very quickly. No artistic talent is needed

Each class will be unique, and the theme of the classes will be announced in advance. Come for one class or the whole series--there's no need to pre-register. Just bring your journal (if you have one) and an open mind!

Fridays beginning soon
1:30-3:30 PM
$15

Here are some of the Friday classes I'll be offering:

Your Secret Selves
Identify, explore, and give voice to your unique sub-personalities—-your “secret selves”—-and learn to accept them in the process. You’ll never see yourself quite the same way again!

Money, Money, Money!

Explore and rewrite your conscious and subconscious beliefs about money. This class will use guided visualization, art, and
writing to help you transform your limiting beliefs about abundance so that they no longer restrict you.  Learn more...

The Wisdom of the Body
Listening to your body is both wise and essential—and heeding its hidden messages can lead you to greater awareness, self-acceptance and even better health! This class will use art and movement to help you uncover the hidden wisdom of your wonderful body.  This class is sometimes offered as a four-hour workshop.  Learn more...

“Judy's expressive movement workshop flowed in a way that allowed my authentic self to shine through with comfort and ease.  It helped me open to a deeper aspect of myself, one that I usually keep hidden.  Brilliant!!”

The Artist's Way book is an amazing way to unleash the creative power we each have within…but without Judy's wonderful, professional and creative guidance 
through our weekly classes, it would have been just another book!”

“Judy’s Self Card concept is such an important one—a stroke of genius for the body of work in expressive arts!”

Gail Kailbourne, LPC
Statesville, NC

“As a blocked artist I've found Judy's unique approach to walking her students through the Artist's Way helpful in unlocking the doors to restricting thoughts that I've held within, which when released, bring forth answers to questions such as, ‘What is it I would want to do if I knew I could not fail?’”

Sherry Bejarano

“I began the Artist’s Way class with some reservations and hesitations—primarily because I have always resisted identifying myself as any kind of ‘artist.’  I have done a 180 degree turn, and I am so thankful I took this class. My creative expression (writing) is now fundamental to my daily well being. Thank you, Judy. You did a wonderful job facilitating and guiding me.”
