Meet Sue, Your Experiential Arts Class Facilitator
Sue (Sparks) Thayer has been traveling this earth for over 6 decades. She is a certified expressive arts practitioner, a trained SoulCollage® facilitator, and holds a BA in Psychology and Art.
She’s had many experiences both painful and joyful that have taught her resiliency and persistence. She worked as a mental health case manager and as an addictions counselor for several decades after getting into recovery for her own addiction issues.
She learned the healing powers of creativity in college by seeing her issues come out in her art projects for class and processing them with a small group in the basement of a friend’s apartment.
That was her first expressive arts group. She realized the magical aha moments that had come up for her and her friends would also come up for others in this way and set out to build creative community wherever she went.
She is a free spirit who has criss-crossed the nation to gather the experiences that have built the skills and wisdom she works with today.
She is accepting, loving, and gentle in her approach in teaching.
She believes we are all many faceted gems that have flown out of the original Creative Fire to spark our light in the darkness and lead our lives with genuine authenticity.
WE ARE ALL DIVINE SPARKS FROM THE CREATIVE FIRE!
Open up to the idea that you are a creative Being.
You have the energy and imagination to create. You have the power and intuition of the Divine.
It may be that being caught up in the local story of what your life is like, has created a feeling of "less than" or inability, or even mediocrity. Those thoughts have a power of their own.
You need only jump in and begin. Express your unique voice. See the truth of creativity, generosity, and ability in your own Being.
You have the power to change those negative messages.
You have the power to prove to yourself the beauty and originality of your personal creation of life. Through a variety of art mediums, you can express, play, and work with all that you are.
You can begin to see the shadows and the light.
You can begin to de-compartmentalize the many facets of self and allow the mystery of you to unfold into the many faceted gem that you were always meant to be.
Artscavation has been created to bring this experiential journey to you. We offer groups using many exercises proven to help you excavate your own inner gold.
