I'm thrilled to announce that registration is now open for my juicy Art of Dreaming class at the Wishstudio!
Four delicious weeks of diving into the Dreamtime to bring back gifts that can enliven your art. And by art, I mean a lot of things...your paintings, your photography, your music, your pottery, or the creative way you live your life. Calling yourself an artist is not a prerequisite to signing up for the class. To register, follow the link above.
The details:
When: Begins January 8, and runs for four Saturdays.
Cost: {$58}
How: Class is online and a new post goes up each week. There will be a forum where class members will interact with each other and with me. I'll also be online each Saturday to answer questions and chat.
Connecting with the dream world can enliven and deepen your art!
This course will set the foundation for artful dreaming. First,
we’ll look at creative ways to remember and record your dreams. We’ll
also look at different artists who have used dreams in their art.
Second we will seek out dream allies who can take us in new
directions or strengthen our skills.
Third we will play around in the
hypnagogic realm, that space between waking and sleeping that is ripe
with possibility and creativity.
And last, we will look at the
different areas in which dreams and art dance together.
During the
course, students will share artwork inspired by their dreams, and, if
they wish, share dreams they are having. Katrina will work with one
person’s dream for the second, third, and fourth classes to give
participants a deeper understanding of how to work with their dreams.

My friend Eileen and I will lead a workshop demonstrating several engaging activities you can bring into your life to foster a deeper connection with the land and the food you eat. It's going to be a gorgeous, juicy day!

TerraPlaces Project
I am so thrilled to announce that a project I cooked up is launching this Sunday, August 1!
It's called the TerraPlaces Project and it is all about connecting with nature. My goal is to gather people from around the world to participate in the project, which is a study to determine the effects of being in the presence of nature.
I'd love for you to join us! The only requirements: choosing an outdoor space to sit with and sharing your experiences on our web site. The benefits to you could include reduced stress, greater connection with your environment, and closer ties with family, friends, and the flora and fauna that inhabit your chosen place.
Have a favorite spot next to a tree or on a shoreline? Or wish you could spent more time outside? This is the perfect way to incorporate more nature into your life.
The first phase of the project begins August 1, so sign up soon!
And once you've joined us, visit our Facebook page.

Saying Yes
The month of June allowed me to realize that when you accept what the universe has in store for you, it does a celebratory dance and showers you with goodness.Although I've struggled for many months, I had huge breakthroughs in June.
- I came to terms with my divorce, probably my biggest accomplishment.
- I finished a final project for my degree that I will now turn into a book.
- I graduated from JFKU with a Masters in Consciousness and Transformative Studies (woo hoo!).
- I created a business plan for the business I hope to roll out in the next year.
- I landed a TA position for the Planetary Psychology class taught by Dr. Craig Chalquist at JFKU this summer, one of the best classes I ever had at JFKU.
- Craig offered me a TA position in the new Ecotherapy Certificate at JFKU and I will help launch the program in the fall (this is seriously exciting).
- I sent emails and letters and had meetings that led to several upcoming events.
Here's a sampling of the fabulous events I'm participating in...there will be more to share soon.
- I'm giving 30-minute dreamwork and intuitive readings at Terra's Temple Day of Renewal, June 24, 12:30-4:30 p.m., in Oakland. $9 for members, $24 for non-members, no one turned away for lack of funds.
- I'm partnering with the Powers of Place Initiative to create an interactive event about connecting with nature that we hope to launch sometime this summer...stay tuned for more on this!
- I'm speaking, along with my friend Eileen, at a fabulous wine country event on August 22 planned by my friend Julieann. The day includes a winery tour, catered sack lunch and dinner from a biodynamic farm, and close interaction with the land. I am thrilled to be a part of it. I'm sending more information about this in my newsletter and I will post here as soon as I know more.

First Photography Award

I am pleased to announce that I won both 2nd and 3rd place in the photography category of the John Muir Medical Center Aspen Surgery Center Art Show! The magnolia won 2nd place and the lily won 3rd.This is a huge honor. It's the first photography award I've ever won, and it holds special meaning since Aspen Surgery Center is where I had my surgery this summer. It was enough for me to give back to the staff by bringing some beauty to the hallways...the awards are just icing on the cake.
Locals can view the show between now and January 15th. Park in the free parking garage at the John Muir Medical Center on Ygnacio Valley Road in Walnut Creek and take the elevator to the ground floor, which is the Aspen Surgery Center. Enjoy all the gorgeous local art hanging on the walls, including acrylic, watercolor, and oil paintings, photography, and mixed media!

Leaping...
A week ago I took a leap and applied for an arts fair in Sonoma. And I am thrilled to say that I was accepted! This will be my first arts fair and I am nervous and excited. It definitely helps me feel like a "real" artist!The funny thing is, doing arts & crafts fairs is a tradition in my family. My aunt and grandmother did crafts fairs all during the time I was growing up, and my aunt continues to do them. I come from a family of talented artists...it took me a long time to accept my place in that lineage.
I will be selling my photographs and mixed media collages, and I'll be sharing a booth with my talented friend Megan. Here are the details:
Sonoma Valley Holiday Artisan Faire
Sunday, November 23
Noon to 5:30 p.m.
